This boutique block of 3 totally different apartments looks more like a large home from the outside. Tallywood 1 was the original Queenslander style home, featuring high ceilings, VJ walls, picture rails, large bedrooms. In the 1970s 2 more apartments were added to the side. Tallywood 2 has 2 bedrooms and open plan lounge, dining kitchen. Probably the hero of this space is the deck that is elevated with views of Auchenflower and captures breezes to cool the space.
Tallywood 3 is quite an unexpected treasure to find this unique apartment, given the more conservative outside. The towering ceilings, solid walls, terra cotta tiles and decor have you transported to a Spanish coastal home. Other quirky elements make this an unusual eclectic space. In keeping with the vibe, we installed a claw foot bath in the outdoor area enclosed by a semi private timber paling fence. There is also a small garden with outdoor dining and BBQ area with 5 steps down to the generous fenced pet yard. From this area you can access the plunge pool through a gate.
We stayed TALLYWOOD in Auchenflower for three months, after moving to Brisbane. And we absolutely loved it! Having moved around the globe and stayed in many different accommodations, this is the first that it felt like home – for me, two of my kids – Riccardo and Elena and our cat who also arrived from Singapore. The homely feeling, the amazing location – convenient both for the train and amazing runs along the river- the availability of everything one needs at home – made the temporary accommodation absolutely wonderful.

Apartment 3 - The Hacienda is a gem. The indoor lounge, dining and kitchen are one space but still feel separate. The queen master bedroom with air conditioning, is off the lounge and the stairs take you to a mezzanine level with a king single bedroom or office and the main bathroom.
The highlight of this apartment is undoubtedly the inviting shaded patio. The laundry is under the weber BBQ bench and the timber slatted alcove is home to the surprise outdoor claw foot bath. A great place for an evening relaxing soak, or for the kids to bath on a hot day, or perhaps to act as an esky for a few cold ones? 5 steps lead down from this patio to your private, fully fenced children's play area or dog yard.
Brm 1 - queen bed
Brm 2 - single bed
