We enjoyed the Beach and the Breakfast, however when it comes to cleanliness of the room as well as the honesty with regards to additional Service Charges and Tax added to the room rate quoted first we were quiet disappointed. Overall a good stay but wouldn’t recommend. more

Upon arrival, my wife and I were welcomed by Rod, with drinks in hand, who insisted that we sit back and relax next to the pool at the Frog Bar. The first 30 minutes set the tone for the remainder of our stay. Everything about Zimzala was perfect. Our room was beautiful, but it was nothing compared to the view... more

Cannot fault the Zimzala - a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful house, close to the beach and local restaurants, and with a lovely pool/outside area for a lazy day! Rod and Julie are the perfect hosts - they helped us organise all our day trips and made sure we made the most of our week in Cairns. We would never... more

We recently stayed at Zimzala for just a couple of nights and it has left us wanting more! Rod and Julie have created a bed and breakfast which epitomises what I think B&B's are about. They are a friendly, professional pair who is committed to meeting all the expectations of their visitors. Contrary to previous post we thought the pets... more

We just returned from our trip and stayed at Zimzala and really loved itt. Rod and Julie were great hosts and were helpful, friendly and were able to give us some great recommendations. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they helped arrange everything we needed including a last minute day trip and managed to help when... more

After my husband and I decided that we wanted to stay at the beach just slightly north of Cairns, we found Zimzala at Holloways Beach and we could not have chosen better. Julie and Rod Mitchell made our 4 weeks stay at Zimzala a fantastic one. Always willing to go that extra mile to make your stay at Zimzala one... more

OK so I am a dog lover but I hate to see three dogs locked in a tiny backyard and never walked or allowed inside. They seemed to smell really bad and never had a bath the whole time I was there. The beach - Holloways - is nothing like I expected which I guess was a dream of a... more

If you are going to visit and stay in Cairns, you can not pass up the opportunity to stay with this lovely couple! The B&B is outstanding and the hospitality is wonderful! From the moment we arrived at the airport until the moment we left we felt welcomed and part of their family! We had delicious breakfasts- that are never-ending!!-... more

Lovely bed and breakfast I stayed at for seven nights in the northern beach of Cairns suburb of Holloways Beach, ideally located for excursions to all interesting nearby attractions (Kuranda, a walk through the beautiful Botanical gardens, the outings to the reef (you can be picked up at the front of the house),which Julie, the host, was very helpful in... more
