Guest Reviews

 
  • "Alix & Perce have made a comfortable, friendly B&B, that we would reccomend to all. We stayed for a week, and to wake up and have a tropical breakfast overlooking the wallabies and kingfishers amongst the melaleuca trees was a great start to the day. Perce has a great knowledge of the area, and can get you on your way to any spot you want to visit. Alix knows all the tours happening and the best time to take them, which made our stay with them great. The room was good with a comfortable bed and good amenities. Many thanks to Alix & Perce for a memorable stay in North Queensland."
