Guest Comments

GUEST COMMENTS:

The following report was on 'Trip Advisor' on May 4th 2012.

'We stayed at the 'Billabong Cabin" for three nights mid-week , two couples and absolutely fell in love with the cabin and our hosts (Kangaroos and Kookaburras). We can highly recommend this cabin as the best view and attention to everything! The setting that is at the edge of the mountain is breathtaking and to sit and eat your meal there is awesome!'

August 2, 2012

We so enjoyed being one with Nature 'Heaven right here on earth.' Stayed for 3 days and we left feeling recharged and peaecful-it feels like we have been here 3 months! We will miss our friends the kangaroos and parrots, but we will be back.

Sept. 23, 2012

What a beautiful haven to come and spend some wonderful quality time with some special friends. We laughed , we drank, we ate and we relaxed. Recharging the batteries, tranquillity is magnificent. Indeed this is a very special place.

November 2012

Staying at Billabong has been a wonderful experience for all of us but particularly for my 2 nieces on vacation form the U.K. It is a memory we will treasure and keep forever. We have thoroughly enjoyed the lodge and have eaten, drunk, and slept very well while keeping an eye on the wildlife day and night. We love the design and floor plan of the house and the panoramic views of the valley. We found it extremely comfortable and well equipped. We loved the kangaroo D.V.D.

December 2012

The world was supposed to end on Dec. 21, 2012 during our stay at Billabong however we awoke to a incredible cloud cover where nothing was in view and we weren't sure if we were in heaven or not. As it turned out, we were all safe but our view of life had changed forever for we had experienced a little taste of heaven right here on earth at this heavenly lodge which we will always treasure.

Jan. 2014

This is one of the most beautiful places that any one of us have ever seen. Really close to a paradise! The lodge was just perfect-very well equipped and with a comfortable homey feel. The kangaroos kept us will entertained all day. We will miss their company and will cherish memories form here forever. Thank you so much.

Beautiful cottage weekend away
This was our second time spending a weekend at billabong and it’s still magical. Nothing beats the view from the hot tub, and the up close and personal experience of the wallabies for our 3 year old is so special. The cottage has everything you need and is so lovely and comfortable, we look forward to our next stay.

A breathtaking getaway
Our stay at Billabong was peaceful and surrounded by the beauty of nature. The place was set up well for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We enjoyed seeing and interacting with the wallabies and kangaroos on our doorstep and relaxing on the deck. The weather was cold and windy but the air con and fireplace made sure we were warm and snug. There were plenty of nature walks nearby and we utilised the common recreation area for table tennis and billiards. Overall Billabong suited our needs for a restful getaway with a beautiful view of the Paterson Valley. Would definitely love to return.

Enjoyable, peaceful stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Billabong. Great facilitates, and such a well fitted out cabin. Couldn’t ask for more! Loved seeing the wildlife up close and personal every morning, and the view is amazing! Hope to come back one day, maybe in winter to enjoy the cosy fire!
