Great location walking distance to lots of cafes NOA being the standout. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and more. We started and ended each day with a swim in pool, truly magical. Beds were very comfortable and house was cool with ceiling fans and air conditioning in every room. Big and airy lounge room. Plenty of parking on a quiet street. We had a great time, can highly recommend.
Spacious and lots of amenities. There are bugs in this part of the world but the place was clean and comfortable overall. The private lagoon pool was great to have and the restaurants in the neighbourhood (Ozmosis and NOA, 3-5 min walk) were so good.

Beautiful spacious house equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. Loved the quiet location, which is a hop, skip and jump to Botanical Gardens, a variety of good eating options and close to the airport. Our host was friendly and very responsive to any queries. Thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife :)

A Lovely Old Queenslander.
Staying at Malawi House suited our family beautifully. The home was spacious and very comfortable, the kitchen and barbeque facilities were lovely to prepare meals from, and the beds offered a peaceful nights' sleep in comfort. We loved the generous verandahs and classic queenslander features. And the pool and gardens were a bonus!
