This trip i had a large ground floor room with AC, and bathroom which as always, was clean... more

The Lilybank B&B is a delightful, old Queenslander House. Pat and Mike Woolford are perfect hosts, who serve an excellent breakfast. During our nine nights stay, we did lots of sightseeing. The spectacular Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful day-trip, which can include scuba-diving, snokelling and a semi-submersible coral reef viewing . Green Island is a coral cay, where we... more

Just as described in Frommers. House is over 100 yrs old; well preserved, excellent condition. Mike and Pat are gracious hosts, and cook excellent breakfasts.

Mike or Pat can... 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

She was such a joy... more

Wife and I love the ambience of tradtional Queenslander homes and Lilybank is no exception, with its high ceilings, wide verandahs and extensive use of silky oak timbers.
