Although very close to Cairns Billabong B&B is a wonderful place, in the midst of a Billabong, surrounded by lush vegetation and with a lot of birds. The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful, the rooms are lovingly decorated. Above all, Billabong has the best breakfast in all of Australia! more

Vicky and Ted run an amazing B&B on the billabong. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they were incredibly warm and accommodating. This was the first B&B that my husband and I had stayed at, and it was a wonderful way to start! The grounds are kept in beautiful shape, and the room is cleaned every... more

From the moment the gates opened and Roxy's excitement carried us down the drive to our hosts Ted and Vicky, we knew we couldn't come close to describing this amazing haven to anyone back home. We have all seen websites dressed up to make a place look better than it is. The Billabong is all you see and so much... more

The property is incredibly beautiful, the breakfasts were delicious, the hosts were warm, friendly and knowledgeable & the two family dogs, Chili and Roxy were great fun . Enjoyed our stay greatly and would love to return just for the breakfast alone!!! more

imagine: a huge pond, tropical flora & fauna all around, the amazing sounds of the rainforest, birds, flowers, waterlilies, palmtrees... the sun is shining, wind is ruffling silently ...and within: you, sitting on a woooden veranda, overlooking this beautiful scenery, coffee, tropical fruits and juices, yoghurts, self-made mueslis & porridges, bread and cheese and eggs in all varieties in front... more

What a great little hideaway this place is. Who would have thought that this oasis was tucked away in the middle of suburbia. It is out of Cairns, about 10 minutes by car but this suited us fine. Holloways Beach has its own small collection of restaurants and cafes so we did not even have to venture into Cairns for... more

The overwhelming impression we had after staying with Vicky and Ted was that they did everything they could to optimize our experience and make us as comfortable and relaxed as possible. They absolutely succeeded!! We stayed at the B&B over Christmas, and they worked very hard to coordinate our activities on Christmas day and Boxing day; no small feat since... more
