No meet n greet that we know of, we booked temporary accom to start with then took out a 6 month rental got a referance from temp accom owner.
You will find it hard to book long term rental from the UK as it is all quite fast moving there was less than a week from been accepted for house to moving in.

You need 100 points to rent (although a large bond goes a long way)

Hi, just to let you know that a company called Brisbane Bound do a meet n greet service in Brisbane. They have a few houses that they rent out, do pick ups from the airport and provide you with some local info. They have a good website explaining everything they provide, prices etc at brisbanebound.com. We are hoping to use them in April when we go over to have a look around. Hope this helps,

Thanks. This is really useful information. Any other information is very gratefully received as we have never been.
