Our Neighbourhood
We wouldn't live anywhere else in Brisbane other than New Farm and we are excited to share why we love this suburb so much.
Voted Brisbane's most liveable suburb many times, New Farm is on a historic inner city peninsular only 1.8 kms from the CBD.

The adjacent suburbs of Teneriffe , Newstead, and Fortitude Valley are also vibrant and full of clubs, rooftop bars, high end fashion boutiques, homeware stores and restaurants.

Grab this accomodation if it is available. It is amazing. Sue is a wonderful host. The accomodation is in a good area, bus stop is just outside and the ferry service is a 5 minute walk. Absolutely immaculate, some truly good provisions made by the host. It was a privilege staying in this house. Would 100% recommend. Sue also allowed us to check in early which was we were truly grateful for. Prompt communication, courteous host. Thank you Sue

From the very beginning, Sue made our booking at Aotea very easy. The property is gorgeous, clean and in a fantastic location for walking into the city. We had everything we needed for our short overnight stay, including tea bags (many different types to choose from), coffee bags and coffee pods for the machine, as well as milk and butter. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable and parking was easy too (we only had one car). If ever we stay in the city again, we will return to this beautiful property. Thank you Sue!
Great place to stay, quiet, well appointed and perfect location, would highly recommend.

This is the second time we have stayed at Aotea. Sue is a wonderful host and her accommodation is excellent. The unit is right near the waterfront bridge walk and all the shopping you will require. Walking distance to everything. A bus stop out the front too. New Farm is a lovely suburb. Can not fault this property. Really comfortable beds. Patio is lovely. All items you will need are in the house. Do not hestitate to book if you are visiting Brisbane.

Wonderful stay at Aotea
We had a lovely time at your place. Everything that we needed was there! It is very close to the Brisbane river, good access to public transport, walking distance to the New Farm shopping complex (we had a wonderful meal at the amazing New Farm Seafood), and very close to, and just opened, Thistle cafe with delicious pastries and coffees (ideal for breakfasts).On a minor note, we did not have access to iView nor SBS on demand (we normally use these streaming channels to watch the ABC and SBS at our own convenience).Just before leaving, we had a conversation with Peter during which we learned about the fascinating history of New Farm, perhaps something worth highlighting in your welcoming notes about the area..Thank you so much,Philippe and Julienne

Sue's beautifully-styled Art-Deco unit had everything we needed for our three-day stay. Off-street parking and attractive garden entrance added to the calm, homely feeling. The beds were comfy and the heated towel rail was a thoughtful touch. We also appreciated that there were brollies for us to use. While we didn't have time (or weather) to use the BBQ, I'm sure Sue would have those needs covered too. Our stay was too short to truly appreciate the practical and beautiful location of Sue's unit. We would happily stay there again.

5 nights city visit
The New Farm area is an ideal base for central Brisbane, being on 2 bus routes, the 196 right outside the door, and the citicat about a 10 minute walk away. It is also close to the Brisbane River Walk which takes you into the city.The apartment is delightful. Very well appointed with 2 good sized rooms, a living room, dining room and a study off the main bedroom. The shower was excellent and all the cooking facilities more than adequate. Also a good washing machine and tumble drier under the house.I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a short or long stay in the city of Brisbane.
Unique property well deserving of the high rating.
