We enjoyed this well equipped and stylish cottage enormously. The location is great and we used the 196 bus all the time - to the city, shops and cafes. We’ll be back next time in Brisbane.

We loved the place. Attended a wedding in New Farm and loved that everything was in walking distance. The property itself is beautiful with comfy beds and plenty of conveniences. Great communication by the host - we will definitely book again.

Two of us attended the AGM of the Older Women’s Network at New Farm Library and training in the office in Lower Bowen Terrace. The position of the property was ideal. Get a train to Fortitude Valley and then the public bus stops literally at the door. We discovered the New Farm Deli….oh wow…so many delicious things there. We purchased a take home heat and eat meal and had a lovely night catching up. With a bedroom each it was really comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to “stay in”.Birds chirping in the morning and pretty flowers to look at through the kitchen window. Much better than a high rise. Would definitely recommend, wish I could have stayed longer! Thanks for having us especially as it was only one night.

This property is immaculately presented in a quiet but centrally located street close to the Brisbane river in New Farm. Spotleslessly clean and renovated to the highest spec. Great communication, very comfortable. The only critisism I have, is that the owners and their family live either side of this property (great if you need anything), but there were several occassions whilst we were there when they came onto the property - blowing leaves under our rental car out front - or on one occassion when our young kids decided to play outside, they came into the backyard and mowed the lawns and blowed leaves, etc. This could have waited until we were out - or done either side of our short stay. Otherwise, a great property.

This property is excellent. It is located in a great inner city neighbourhood and provided everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay in Brisbane. Wonderful to be able to stay in a flat with outdoor spaces which was just like a home away from home. We will be back.

We're just back from an overseas cruise. Before we departed we had an overnight pre-cruise stay at Aotea and it was absolutely perfect. We'd had a long drive into Brisbane and Aotea allowed us to really relax and enjoy our pre-cruise stay. We bbq'd (and also used the very well equipped kitchen) and relaxed in the beautiful outdoor area surrounded by lovely tropical plants then enjoyed a wonderful night's rest on extremely comfortable A1 beds with high quality linens. The next morning we took an easy walk down to the river and enjoyed a stroll on the Riverwalk before having breakfast at a nearby cafe very close to Aotea. It was great having the off-street carspace at the front of the building - we just drove up and could immediately relax in this awesome accommodation. Everything about Aotea is perfect - including the host. Sue communicated quickly and clearly with booking details but also is a delight to meet and have a chat with. We thank you so much Sue. We'll be back for sure - looking forward to our return visit.

Very clean and neat. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very close to great walks, parks and ferry terminal. We would like to come back sometime.

The title says it all. From the moment we opened the front door we felt like we had come home. The property is even more beautiful than the photos depict. Sue and Peter are the perfect hosts - they have thought of everything. The location could not be better. Just a short walk to the insanely gorgeous New Farm River Walk which is a fantastic way to stroll (or jog) into the CBD. Great restaurants and more importantly, coffee shops, right down the street! We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return some day!

Just a quick overnight stay sad to say as the accommodation was superb. Clean and very homely. Comfy beds, close to shops. We left for our early flights feeling refreshed and ready to go. Hassle free which is all you want.

Aotea | Classic Art Deco charm in a vibrant inner city suburb of Brisbane
Aotea is a wonderful place to stay in Brisbane. It is located in a inner city suburb with easy access to restaurants, cafes & high end shopping, a visit to James St is a must! The Brisbane river is a short walk away where you can enjoy long leisurely walks along the river or take a quick boat ride on the City Cat to the CBD. Loved our stay, thanks Sue!

A gorgeous cosy Art Deco flat in a fantastic location
We rented Aotea for two months while we were in Australia for the birth of our child. It was just what we needed - clean, comfortable (the beds and bed linen were wonderful!) and well-located for trips to New Farm park, the River Walk etc. Sue was an exceptional host - responding quickly and helpfully to our queries! We recommend Aotea to anyone looking for an extremely well-appointed home away from home (in the short or long term)!
