Picture Perfect!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Sept 2016
We stayed at the Rose Cottage and have nothing to fault. The amenities were perfectly kept and had a great ambience . The gardens were tranquil and yet, we were only minutes away from the urban hub with a variety of gorgeous cafes and bistros to tickle our tastebuds. The hosts were more than accommodating and highly exceeded our expectations. What a wonderful place! We have no hesitation in recommending this place to all our friends. We will definitely be back. 5 stars to this wonderful B&B, could not have asked for a better experience!
Date of stay: September 2016
Room Tip: Rose Cottage was our favourite, but other cottage is also beautiful.

I've been staying at Lucerne for a few years now - so sorry about the slow review. I just love staying here. I am comfortable, close to the City and great restaurants everywhere, have great hosts and breakfasts direct from the free-ranging chooks in the spacious backyard.

The bird calls are incredible from pre-dawn.....yet I am soo close to the City and in such an historic residence.

My uncle - in his late 80s says - there are 2 types of people in this world - the givers and the takers - well Brian and Helen are the givers of this world.

Room tip: I stayed Rose Cottage - which is well chair accessible - the other is not as it is 2 storey.

Rose cottage is tucked away in the gardens of the old house called 'Lucerne'. The oldest continually inhabited house in Brisbane. It has character, a brilliant location, exemplary hosts and a warmth that made it a wonderful place to be in. Could not recommend highly enough.

We stayed a week at Lucerne on Fernberg in Rose Cottage and were very happy with our stay! The BnB has everything you can wish for - it's very cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and a good breakfast is provided - including lovely eggs from the family's hens. Brian is also very helpful in providing local advice about Brisbane and even showed us around the local festival and picked us up and dropped us off at the bus-station. Service that is very much appreciated! The family also has a nice cat and a lovely dog that like to come by for a chat. The BnB is in a great neighbourhood with lots of restaurants, bars, nice cafés and vintage shops - at a convenient distance to the city centre. If we come back to Brisbane we'd definitely come and stay at Lucerne on Fernberg again!

Very friendly, very helpful. Brian went out of his way to make sure our stay was exceptional. The cottage is well maintained while respecting the history of the property. I would definitely stay here again.

This B and B is a fabulous find for anyone seeking a little peace and quiet from the City hubbub. Brian and Helen make you feel extremely welcome from the first contact and are wonderfully helpful and friendly to help ensure your stay is smooth and easy. The cottages are lovely. The kitchen facilities for your breakfast hamper makes breakfast simple and the home grown eggs are the added bonus. Thank you all for a great stay and your hospitality. We will be back and can certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone.
