Loved the breakfasts - the food was terrific, but it was chatting with Fiona (the owner) about life in Australia. that made my day!!! From the moment we stepped off the plane Fiona and Trevor were the perfect hosts. The weather was rainy but Trevor took time on the ride to Groves Manor to show us the sights and provide orientation to shops. They warmly made us feel at home, I was so stunned to find charming rooms, well-appointed bathrooms, and a veranda to die for! Exceptional hosts and great ambassadors for Brisbane!!!
