Friendly heart warming greetings Uniquely beautiful property decorations made by Patrick Feel like home Highly cleanliness Locally authentic experiences Good wildlife sanctuary and well organized

Megan Australia

Absolutely gorgeous property right in the middle of the Kuranda rainforest. You walk out into paradise the moment you leave your cottage and the sound of the wild birds are so soothing. The cottage had everything we needed, the AC cooled down the whole cottage in no time. The pool area is surrounded by lush rainforest, just has such a magical feel. Sue & Patrick were so kind to prepare a lovely breakfast for us as well! And bonus, we had such a great time interacting with their many birds. If you do not like birds much, no big deal as they are kept in their enclosures when guests are present (except for their cockatoo, Fritz, who is such a joy and very entertaining, and trained very well)

Conny United States of America

Sue and Patrick were the most gracious hosts during our stay. Our daughters were enthralled with their bird sanctuary, and the walk through the rainforest that is their backyard. The breakfast was filled with delicious fresh fruit and eggs fixed to our liking. I can't say enough about the hospitality and the accommodations!

Jennifer United States of America

  • Hi we are looking at booking for the 14th May for a wedding at the Billabong. How far away is this from you location and is there a taxi service that could pick us up and drop to wedding and then return after wedding.
    The Billabong is 7km (or 9 minutes) from our property. We can provide a taxi service $15 each way as long as it is before 11:00pm. After 11:00pm you should hopefully be able to ring "Ride and Share". At the moment the 14 May is free.
