It is possible that this is the best short-stay pool in Brisbane! Not only is it unusually large for a residential pool; not only do you have 100% exclusive usage of it, unlike shared pools in apartment buildings or hotels; but this pool has zero chlorine in it - not a single drop - no chemical nasties whatsoever!

We have undertaken extensive effort to convert our pool to a 100% non-chlorinated system which uses alternative and fully non-toxic sanitisers, biocides and clarifiers. It's a unique blend of natural borate minerals, powerful enzymes, non-chemical aeration/oxygenation, UV-activated hydrogen peroxide, and ultrafine microfiltration.

The result? Beautifully soft, silky smooth, fresh-feeling, non-harsh, and non-odorous water, for luxurious daytime and nighttime swimming. In the midday sun, it can glow a tropical, aqua greeny blue, and truly feel like you're swimming in the Tahiti ocean. It's a magical place... ;) 🏝

But wait, there's more!

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆

For pool and sun worshippers, we are officially offering this entire place as clothing optional. If you are so inclined, you may skinny dip and sunbathe au naturale, to your heart's content. (One of us upstairs is a genuine naturist since ten+ years so we are fully body-positive people.)

As for us, you'll never see us by default. We'll be just like a neighbour and never cross into your zone downstairs.

(You'll note in the photos that there are neighbours on the side. Everyone just keeps to themselves. It's rare to even see neighbours, and we enjoy our backyard au naturale when we use the space.)

So there you have it! A truly special and unique offering. For private pool luxury, how can this be beat? It's everything you deserve in the humid Brisbane heat.

Whether it's 4K movie streaming, huge amounts of downloading or uploading, or media-heavy, reliable work-from-home (WFH) needs, our place has you covered. We have a blazing fast, 1000 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up HFC NBN unlimited Internet connection, provided by Aussie Broadband (who are the best).

We offer a fast Wi-Fi 7 connection, tested up to ~400 Mbps on most wireless devices - but as a rare perk, we provide a direct gigabit ethernet connection, to both the bedroom and the living room - tested up to 989 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up!

You might just want to keep coming back to this place for the amazing Internet. WFH paradise? Answer that email, dive in the pool, wash, rinse, repeat - literally. 👌

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲

With a large Officeworks just 4 mins walk down the hill for any printing or electronics needs, this place is attractive for the digital nomad professional.

We don't yet have a full-on dedicated working space - but the dining table in the bright living room can serve as a desk, and perhaps you are comfortable with other corners and configurations possible in the space.

And who said you can't work right by the pool? Check out our photo showing 300Mbps+ speed, directly under the poolside umbrella. 🏖️

𝗕𝗲𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺

Get a good night's sleep in the king-size bed - so big that even 3 people could sleep in it! Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. The full set of king-size bedding includes a breathable bamboo summer duvet, and a breathable woven cotton blanket, providing different warmth options and layers.

Air conditioning in the bedroom allows you to reliably control temperature and humidity all night long, in concert with the bedding options.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿

This place has grounded luxury - luxury where it counts! This downstairs bathroom is blessed with the strongest water pressure that we have ever seen. We have broken hoses trying to contain it in the garden. It's become a feature!

We've installed a non-restricted shower head, which allows the full force to gush through like a waterfall - at least if you turn it all the way up - providing a luxurious - or if you're in a rush, a more efficient - experience.

Have a quick blast to clear your head, before you dash out. Or how about a long, hot shower waterfall? We're just fine with that. There's continual gas heating. Welcome to luxury. You deserve it.

𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝘆

Convenient, fully featured laundry, stocked with natural-style, organic washing liquids, powers and staples (like vinegar, bicarb, washing soda). Deep laundry basin for cold or hot hand washing. Portable drying rack. Washing machine includes 90° hot wash. Dryer for your convenience, no matter the weather. Iron + ironing board. Everything needed for travelling professionals to do their clothes reliably, and fast.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴

Easy free parking right out front off the street. Save time - no faffing around in a hotel or apartment building with entry cards and codes, or finicky tight space restrictions. Just park right off the street, in our provided car port.

If you want to park on the street or have a visitor over, between 4pm Fri and 9am Mon, parking in the area is unlimited and free. Otherwise, it's free for 2P duration. To get around that restriction, let us know in advance and we can assign up to two visitor cars with temporary digital parking permits.

𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

You will love how close you are to all the action in the city - or close-by at Suncorp - yet our locale and our street is so quiet! You'll wonder why you bother with those giant apartment blocks on those roaring, noisy city streets, ever again.
Being in the centre of Milton, there are so many excellent places to eat out, whether they're a walk or short drive / taxi away, and Uber Eats is an additional option for many of them.

A few highlights of the local area, but there are many more:

• Coffee joint just 30 seconds walk away from our house, open 7am, Mon-Sat.

• Wonderful cinemas, bars and Coles just 15 mins walk down the hill.

• Flannerys local organic fresh food store - great for emergency groceries nearby, generous 7-day opening hours (for a store of that type).

• Milton Markets - Sunday mornings from 6am-midday - local, artisanal food like organic bread, teems with people and fresh hot food, great vibe to soak in the local area.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

If you thought our street was calm, wait until you venture down into the poolside sanctuary. Cocooned and protected by the upstairs floor which takes in the cars going past on the street, down here, you're a world away from everything. Our pool's waterfall provides healing sounds, and you'll have a peaceful and healthful stay in our quiet, safe neighbourhood. 🧘 (Only occasionally, one neighbour has a party for a few hours on the weekend.)

Helpful tip to help decide if this place is right for you if you are especially wanting a quiet stay: Suncorp Stadium occasionally has an event. Check their "What's On" calendar page. Their events can involve occasional distant crowd cheering noises, or booming music from a big artist. (On the plus side you can sometimes get free fireworks from the bedroom/backyard, and the festive atmosphere can be quite fun and interesting.)
