Police attended the property to perform a welfare check when they found the woman and child.<\/p>\n
Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n
The ABC understands the woman was a medical specialist.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Metro South Health said the organisation extended its “deepest sympathies to those affected by this tragic incident”.<\/p>\n
The house was listed on short-term accommodation platform Airbnb for over $1,000 a night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The listing, which has since been removed, described the property as a “relaxing, beautifully quiet” luxury home on 2.5 acres of land backing onto Mount Coot-tha Forest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neighbour Andrew Offen described the neighbourhood as “communal” and “friendly”.<\/p>\n
“Everyone on this leg of the street has lived here 10 years plus \u2026 except for [the crime scene property],” he said.<\/p>\n
“It’s a perfect place to live, really.”<\/p>\n

Dirk Vandenbroucke, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 27 years, said he did not realise there were temporary tenants at the property.<\/p>\n
“[We didn’t hear] much until there was a lot of [police] activity in the street,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Then we were told something serious happened.”<\/p>\n
