I was lucky enough to have friends who had previously stayed at "Lilybank" so I expected a warm welcome, amazing breakfasts and cute dogs! I was not disappointed. I am unused to travelling alone but need not have worried as the Hosts, Pat and Michael could not have been friendlier or more helpful. I had some business to attend to... more

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

This trip i had a large ground floor room with AC, and bathroom which as always, was clean... 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. It is very hard to see from the road, so drive slowly and carefully. Redommend the visit to the butterfly sanctuary (see Frommers) and the Wait A While rainforest tour (ditto). Mike or Pat can... more

You don't need a vehicle while staying at Lilybank as the bus stop is convenient and most ,if not all excursions, pick up and return to B & B. Your hosts are accomodating and arrange bookings for you. The rooms are clean and comfortable and a large deck, yard, kitchen and sitting room are at your disposal. The breakfast options... more

We stayed 3 nights at this lovely tropical retreat and thoroughly enjoyed this plantation style house. Breakfast in the patio was fresh tropical fruits with a selection of delicious cooked dishes; all were splendid. Our room was comfortable and air conditioned; there is a common kitchen and beautiful verandas to enjoy the out of doors. This is outside of Cairns,... more
