Inner City Sanctuary

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT ACCOMMODATION: Tibbets on Tillot is a historical Queensland Cottage believed to have been built circa 1883. It was first owned by Edward Deighton (a clark in the Colonial Architect's office) and was part of Deighton Estate which was basically the triangle of land that sits between Old Ipswich Road (now Gladstone Road), Boggo Road (now Annerley road) and Gloucester Street. Tillot Street where your accommodation is located was named after Edward's mother (Tillot is her maiden name). Tibbets on Tillot is also named after Sarah Tibbets (a resident from 1925-1933) who demonstrated a sassiness and naughtiness often frowned upon for a woman of that time.
ACCOMMODATION FEATURES: Tibbets on Tillot is a bike friendly, dog-friendly self contained space with a large main bedroom, separate living/dining, bathroom, laundry facilities, full kitchen and patio opening to a lush tree-filled back yard. The yard is fully fenced and secure with a separate entry to the main house.
LOCAL AMENITIES: Within walking distance of Tibbets on Tillot you will find the Mater Hospital, PA Hospital, Southbank, the Gabba, Boggo Road CSIRO Precinct, Brisbane CBD, Brisbane Botanical Gardens, UQ St Lucia Campus, QUT Garden's Point Campus, Brisbane River Walks, parks and bikeways - basically we are very central.
TRANSPORT: We are also close to the bus (we have a stop at the end of the street) and train (almost at the end of our street). We are also within the zone for electric scooters and bikes.
DINING: Local dining precincts include Stanley Street, C'est Bon, Logan Road Antiques Precinct, the Gabba, Southbank, Little Stanley Street, West End, Fish Lane and more.
BREWS: No's Cafe is 100m from our house, Two Dad's is up Annerley Road about 200m, and Shawty's Espresso is a 500m walk (and beside Park Rd Train/Bus Station). All will service you with some of the best brews and breaky food in Brisbane. Dovetail Social is 800m walk through the back streets of Dutton Park and does fantastic Asian influenced breaky and lunch. At the end of Annerley Road you will find brews of a different kind in the form of the Brisbane Brewhouse where you can taste local craft beer and food for a very fair price and the Red Brick Hotel which has some of the best pub food this side of the river.
PARKING: We have free street parking (with a supplied digital permit). Should you be driving just forward your car registration number and state/territory of registration.

Your hosts live upstairs and have two little dogs (Jupiter and Lila) who will likely say hello. Please enquire with us if you have a dog you are travelling with, as we are a pet-friendly accommodation.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and an electric kettle.

Absolutely phenomenal stay. As a young, solo, female traveller I have never felt safer in an accomodation. Spacious facilities and a beautiful outdoor patio. Did have a run in with one of the dogs, albeit it was late at night and the lights were off so it probably thought I was an intruder, but host was super responsive given it was around 9:30pm and was very apologetic. Other than that the dogs were lovely for the rest of my stay. Cannot recommend enough. 10/10

Clean, bright, one bedroom home with washing machine, and full kitchen. Please note, there is no dryer, you need to hang your clothes to dry. There is a rack in the yard, just an FYI to give yourself time. A couple times during the day, you can hear people in the upstairs unit but its not constant, and never any bother. Suggestion to bring an eye mask if you are bothered by an early sunrise, there are window hangings, but in the spring/summer sunrise was in the 5 am hour! Location was an wasy 7 min walk to the Boggo train station. Very safe area.

Letitia was a great host. I had no concerns with the property! It was clean and beautiful! Checking in was easy. Any time I had a question Letitia answered quickly and was very helpful. She was available but not over bearing at all. Perfect place to stay. My only thing was it was a little further than I hoped from the CBE but that is just the reason I was there which made it further. Again beautiful place and a great great host!! I would come back again and stay with Letitia!!

Cute and comfortable stay

We enjoyed this cute and comfortable place. It had everything we needed for a 1-week stay. The space is private, with a lovely outdoor area and outlook on to a calming garden and lawn. Letitia was great with communication, and check-in was easy with the lockbox. We’d recommend this stay, and have already booked our next stay here.
