Very peaceful location, easy drive to lakes and beaches. Lovely room with huge ensuite bathroom, comfortable bed, and great breakfast in the morning.

Garry Australia

We had great time and experience. The room was very clean and comfortable with cute and sweet decoration. The view outside the house was very beautiful. Cathy made us feel very welcomed and prepared very nice breakfast. Nice driving from the accomodation to the beaches nearby. We would like to go back next time when we plan a trip there.

Crystal Australia

Billabong is Exceptional b & b fairly close to the highway but very quiet and peaceful.

Andrew Australia

Beautiful gardens, cosy, friendly, country-get-away feel to the place. Loved watching the neighbours sheep wandering past in the early evening. Was peaceful and beautiful with plenty of areas to wander in nature.

Deborah Australia

Cath went over and above to insure we had everything we needed. She was so knowledgeable of the places we planned to travel She cooked us a fabulous dinner and we dined with other guests. That was great! The house is beautiful...so quaint and nicely decorated. Slept with doors and windows open. So peaceful. Wildlife great! If we ever travel this way again would absolutely stay here.

Scott United States of America

The engagement of the proprietor and her sister and friend, the architecture, modern and fully supplied bath, excellent vegetarian meal, with veggies from their organic garden, the kookaburra walking us up with his laugh in the morning... really.

Dale United States of America

The cabin was a good size. Very clean and well presented. Everything comfortable. Well set up. Well situated in village and quiet.

Pat Australia

Cath is wonderfully accommodative. She went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. It is a lovely property and I have never slept better

Shivani Australia

Such a great little find on our way to Northern NSW for Christmas. Cath is such a good host. We will be back.

Maria Australia

Kath (the host) offers delicious vegetarian/pescatarian home cooked dinners on request. It was the perfect home away from home.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.8

Billabong Cottage is a lovely character filled 100 year old house with new additions. It has been beautifully renovated and decorated with recycled and upcycled furniture. The cottage is cute and comfortable - made for relaxation. Beds are new and pillow topped, linen is 1000 thread count, showers are hot, towels are Turkish. Heaters and air conditioners too. We have loads of porches to laze on, acres of meadows to meander, a creek, a dam, a billabong, The cottage has 3 bedrooms with ensuites- 4 bathrooms in total - 1 with wheelchair facilities, dining room, lounge room with wood heater. Please note that we are a meat free property except for pet food - please do not bring meat with you. No meal prep (except included breakfast) or fridge storage space available. A yummy plant based dinner and desert can be booked in advance. Great local wine and beer available onsite - No BYO. Billabong Cottage is made to share and I look forward to sharing it with you. Cath x

Hi I am Cath and I moved (March 2017) to Boolambayte from Inner city Sydney for a tree change. I fell in love with this beautiful home and land and feel very lucky to have have found it. I shared my home in Sydney for many years through a popular online site and really loved to host the wonderful people that I met - They came as strangers and left as friends so thought that I would do more of it. I hope that is how you feel too after your visit. Billabong Cottage is a dream come true for me and I am so happy to be able to share it with new friends.

We are close to a range of lakes with many activities available. You will see lots of lakes as you drive around The Lakes Way. The beaches around here are nothing short of stunning and numerous!!! White sands, clean clear water and some are patrolled for your safety. We have beach umbrella, chairs, rugs, towels, marquees for you to use for a day of comfort, Cute country towns like Nabiac, Stroud and Dungog are close by as is touristy beachy towns like Forster and Tuncurry that have everything you need. We are next door to National Parks with the tallest tree in NSW down the road but are off the beaten track on a country lane - take a break. There are lots of local markets every weekend to buy local produce and handicrafts.
