AndrewW Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi all, my first post so hopefully it works! My wife and I are shortly to arrive in Brisbane on PR visa's. Determined to make a success of our new home we have arranged to live with some really good friends of ours who already live in Taringa, figuring this gives us the best shot at settling in initially. We are replacing their current flat mate who moves out towards the end of September. Unfortunately we arrive on the 19th of August, leaving a bit of gap. My post is really to ask, does anyone in Brisbane have any ideas on how we might do this? The idea of a holiday let seems to be a touch expensive. Perhaps some one has gone through this before or there might even be someone who is going back to the UK for the British Summer and needs someone to house sit? All suggestions welcome! cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Have you priced up a cabin at Brisbane Holiday Village? It may be an option for you. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yidmister18 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I can recommend this in the short term. We moved to Oz in July 2011 and we were in the same situation. We lived at the holiday cabin for near 2 months. It was perfect. Don't get me wrong, its not the Ritz Carlton, but covered our requirements perfectly and was the cheapest option. The cabin itself had 2 bedrooms, living room, and bathroom. Along with acess to pools and a restaurant. its about 10km from the CBD, but right next to the Westfield Garden City Shopping Centre. https://www.brisbaneholidayvillage.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Thanks for the replies, it was really helpful. In the end the "gap" isn't going to be as long as we first thought. We've decided to go air bnb as we haven't done that before and it might be an opportunity to meet people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
