A Heritage Home Transformed Into Brisbane's Chicest Boutique Apartments

Gone are the days when opting for classic heritage stays was a no-go! The Brisbane boutique scene has undergone a total redux, shining a new spotlight on the timeless appeal of modern heritage living.

Standing proudly among the leafy oasis of Brisbane's New Farm, Miss Midgley’s marks the spectacular renaissance of one of Brisbane's most historic residences.

Built upon 160 years of stone-clad history, this architectural treasure transforms into five stellar apartments boasting the perfect blend of yesteryear's elegance and today's luxe comforts. Formerly known as Miss Midgley’s Educational Establishment, it has stood proud under the leadership of the exceptionally gifted artist and educator, Annie Midgley, since 1905. The building's illustrious past has fueled much of the creative spirit that guided its chic makeover, breathing new life into every private nook.

Come with Locay as we explore the transformation that has turned this once-antiquated structure into a must-stay destination for boutique hotel aficionados.
