Just a 5-minute drive from Brisbane CBD, Grove Manor is a plantation-style country home set adjacent to parkland. Guests enjoy free WiFi and rooms with a private balcony, lovely garden views and a bathroom.

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!!!

    Great old pub, friendly locals and staff. We arrived pretty late but called up to order dinner before kitchen closed. Nothing was a problem for them, and the meals were delicious. We had dinner and an early lunch the next day before heading off on our cruise. Wasn't that far from the Port and we even got a ride there from the fabulous publican.
