Miss Midgley's

A 160-year-old stone building — Brisbane tuff, colonial-era bones, originally Cairncross House — now holds five self-contained apartments on James Street, New Farm. Mother-and-daughter architects Lisa and Isabella White (both UQ Masters graduates) did the conversion: full kitchens, private outdoor spaces, heated pool, bike storage. Four apartments sleep two bedrooms; ground-floor units take dogs. The whole property books as one for events.
