Friendly, caring and fun family

My home is a large high rise brick home with 5 bedrooms, two kitchens, two living areas and a large-one room granny flat with separate kitchenette ideal for a couple who would like a little privacy on their vacation. I live with my 31 year old son as well as two beautiful cats, Milo and Harley. Our home has an IG pool and large back yard. The home is in a leafy safe neighbourhood of Ormiston in Qld with a short walk to shops, bus stop, cafes, parks and Ormiston College. We are also close to Cleveland where the ferries depart for North Stradbroke Island. The island is known for whale watching and other tourist attractions/fun things to do. We are also close to Victoria Point, Wellington point, Cleveland point and Raby Bay Harbour where there are beaches and beautiful seaside views, breathtaking sunsets, BBQ facilities, and many great restaurants/cafes. Redlands Indigiscapes Centre offers bush walks, Native botanic gardens and family fun activities. My home is an hour train ride to Brisbane or 45 minutes drive. A bus stop to Brisbane is a minute walk from home and 10-15 minutes walk to the train station. I have taught English as a second language in China, Vietnam and Spain as well as in Aust. I am offering 2 hours formal IELTS or general English lessons free to my homestay students. I will also familiarize homestay guest with the area/ activities to do in the surrounding areas by giving them a tour on their first day or when they wish. I am very happy to welcome International students for the duration of their study in Qld. I am also happy to welcome guests on short vacations. I enjoy being a homestay Host and making the homestay experience for guests a fun and enjoyable stay. Room(s): 1.
