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

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

Mary Eakin Brisbane Australia. I made a trip to Carins in October and decide to stay at Lily Bank B&B yet again. I did my first trip to Cairns in May 08 and stayed with Pat and Mike in their lovely homely B&B in Stratford Carins. As I was travelling on my own I decided that B&B was the way... more

This was our third trip to Cairns, and I wanted to stay in a wonderful old Queenslander, away from the "resort" concept, and that is just what Lilybank provides. It is like staying in a real home; tropical garden, the sound of birds and frogs, peace and space. The enchanting surroundings and facilities have been well described, ditto the fulsome... more
