Martin & Damian welcomes you!
I Marti, and my partner Damo, host our B and B in a stunning beach suburb of Brisbane, in subtropical Queensland, Australia: close to the international airport, motorway (freeway) to the city centre, beaches, islands and forests. Our 'Bathing Bear Hosted Accommodation' is within the beautiful Kabi Kabi country. We are kiwis (Maori and Pakeha New Zealanders) who just love being with diverse people, enjoy learning how we live in our places and discussing what is going on in the world. In addition, he's a chef and I've worked in queer health promotion. I lived a decade in Europe loving culture, food, wines, visual or performance arts, architecture and especially gardens. He is a country boy loving classic cars, food, and breeding stud cows! When we travel we appreciate getting to know local folk who can tell us where to connect with the LGBTQ+ community as well as seeing the sights, and sourcing real food, so we offer those local connections to our guests. Come and be a part of our household for a bit; socialise or enjoy the private spaces our property offers.
We have a small friendly dog who lives outside (not a hardship as we do most of time too!) He doesn't wear clothes when sunbathing and nor do we usually. Please talk with us about what you are comfortable with as far as a clothed/clothes-optional/nudist vibe goes, as we are pretty relaxed. We are all about making your break work for you.
Nga mihi, Māti

Agency partner selected by misterb&b
Because we foster the largest community of global gay travelers, we want to ensure all are welcome anywhere we go. Full apartments are in high demand around the world. To help ensure you can travel and feel welcome anywhere, in addition to our gay and gay-friendly hosts, we’ve selected agencies to offer apartments in cities across the world.
Because gay is in our DNA we ask each agency to affirm their welcoming attitude and acceptance of our community by agreeing to the charter below:
- Checking this box certifies that the management and staff of your agency welcome all people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression
- Further you agree to challenge homophobic and transphobic behavior and ensure a positive and welcoming environment for our guests
- Through a courteous attitude, excluding judgment, your agency will work to ensure a peaceful stay for its LGBTQ+ clientele (information, safety, quality of service and discretion)
Stay like a gay local and feel welcome anywhere you go - misterb&b
