Notes from the host
Chill Camp Hill
THE LOCATION:
Typically many of our guests are extended families visiting local families or renovators who need to spend a little time away from the dust and dirt. We also host families in between properties, professionals relocating or working/training in and around Brisbane.
Camp Hill is a very central, safe and family orientated location. If you are interested in historical Queensland style houses, there is no shortage. It's fantastic to take an evening walk to check out the surroundings. You are only 1 kilomtere walk or a 2 min drive to Martha Street (cafes, restaurants & gift stores) and the brand new Coorparoo Square (movies, restaurants, supermarkets, Aldi, cafes and bar).
Chill is located on the main thoroughfare heading directly towards "The Gabba Cricket Ground", Mater Hospital, Lady Cilento Children's Hospital, South Bank and downtown Brisbane City, with public transport right outside your door. In the opposite direction it is easy access to the Gateway M1 Motorway, Brisbane Airport or heading to either the Gold Coast and theme parks to the South or Sunshine Coast and Australia Zoo to the north.
It's a super easy, door to door, single bus journey (Route 204) into Brisbane City, Sourthbank and Fortitude Valley Precinct. Or in the opposite direction is the HUGE Westfield Carindale Shopping Mecca.
It's the perfect location if your a family/group in Brisbane, who don't have a vehicle or are needing to share one vehicle.

NOTE 1: We (the owners) DO NOT live at the property, however we do have quite a bit of storage underneath the property and very occasionally myself or my husband might pop in to the downstairs during business hours, to pick up various work items. (He is in IT and I manage Airbnbs).
NOTE 2: As mentioned above this house is on a main thoroughfare into the city and light sleepers many not cope with traffic noise.....having said that many guest still give us 5 stars as they know what they are getting into and really enjoy the size, price and amenities this property provides. Access/driveway to our property are from a quiet side street and the living areas, deck and kitchen all face this more pleasant aspect.
