Do you like views of trash, dirty laundry, and animal poop from your window? Do you like enormous cockroaches climbing down the wall when you are sleeping at night? How about spiders on the breakfast table, dirty doilies covering food you are expected to eat, and hairs in your huevos rancheros? Do you like sleeping under cobwebs and light fixtures... more

Location is fantastic. 1 mile down the road from the Kuranda train station, less than 20 minutes from the airport. Less than 25 minutes from the wharf for trips out to the Great Barrier Reef, and walking distance of several very nice restaurants. Another very helpful feature is that most tours will pick up and drop off right at the... more

Pat and Mike are great hosts, and i am pleased to say, the breakfasts are even better!!, with a larger selection, to suit every taste. This trip i had a large ground floor room with AC, and bathroom which as always, was clean... more

Mike or Pat can... more

Cairns was our first destination on our 2 week Australian holiday. We selected Lilybank B&B after finding it on the web. It looked & sounded great and it did not disappoint. We had a lovely, generous sized room with a large bathroom with bath and shower. The queen sized bed was extremely comfortable. Adjacent to our room was a community... more

I enjoyed staying in the cottage this last trip to Lilybank as it gave me a lot of peace and quiet and also privacy and I did not feel bad when I was up during the night watching DVDs as well as no one else would have heard me. Breakfasts were a great affair with a wonderful selection of hot... more
