Eton

This heritage-listed cottage, not far from the Brisbane Transit Centre, has five rooms and an attic suite that sleeps three, all with en-suite bathrooms. The attic suite is a self-contained apartment with its own entrance and kitchen. Room no. 1, at the front of the house, is my pick -- it has a claw-foot tub and king-size bed. Out the back is a garden courtyard, where you can have breakfast among the palms, ferns, and frangipani trees. There's no smoking indoors and children under 4 are not allowed.

Facilities:
Access to guest laundry and kitchen; Wi-Fi and Internet-enabled PC available (A$5/US$4.50/£2.25 per day)
