Guesthouse Guide by Carmen

Have a bit of a plan about the type of things you’d like to do by researching the area. Make a list and feel free to chat to me about it when you arrive so that you’ll make the most of your time here.

Always being warm clothes even in Summer as it can be cold here despite the time of year. Bring walking shoes as there are magnificent parks to explore within walking distance and nearby. Also the CBD is within walking distance to get to the shopping and dining precincts. Don’t forget slippers to keep your little feet warm or socks for inside as this is a shoes off guesthouse due to the red Toowoomba dirt. Thanks ladies.

You’ll have your own lovely private room however the communal spaces are shared so you’re going to want to say hi to others, have a chat if you like and make everyone feel like you are happy to be there. The most important thing is to be kind and courteous towards other guests and be mindful of noise. It’s amazing how everyone just seems to be so kind and thoughtful because of the women who are attracted to Campbell and Waratah. When everyone respects the house and others it’s just such a special space to be in.

Please park in Waratah street where there is plenty of free parking. Enter through the front gate in Campbell St. Please note their are about 10 front stairs to the front door. Ring the doorbell to the left of the door when you arrive if Carmen has arranged to greet you. If it is a self-checkin you will be sent instructions via the AirBNB app prior to your arrival.

Each morning if your stay there will be a breakfast station set up in the kitchen. Expect a self-serve style with items such as muesli, fruit, yoghurt, toast and local condiments. Tea and instant coffee. Enjoy on the Dusk Deck, Travellers Dining Room or Front verandah.

You are welcome to use the kitchen for basic meal prep only. Space can be made in the kitchen fridge or outdoor fridge for food items and drinks. Please ask Carmen before booking if you have any questions.

Playing cards, board games and puzzles are here for your use during your stay. You’re welcome to bring your own also. 🎲
