Bed & Breakfasts provide a great alternative to the mainstream hotels and resorts. There are many styles of bed and breakfast accommodation ranging from the traditional homestyle to farmstays, ruralstays, homestays, retreats, self contained cottages, spas and outback stations.

Lodging or staying with the hosts can be a very memorable experience. Beautiful properties are often situated in pockets of rainforest where the neighbours are your regular tree Kanagroos, wallabies or resident cassowary if you're lucky.

There are some great hidden gems out there where you can enjoy delicious home cooked meals, personalised service, local advice and some good old-fashioned hospitality to ensure your days will be enjoyable.

Hospitality and courtesy are the hallmarks of bed and breakfast venues and the network of B&B's around the region will provide the perfect hosts and home for your stay. Many B&B's offer leisure activities such as swimming, fishing and 4WD touring. Your hosts are very knowledgeable about their region, and are happy to advise you on how to best plan your itinerary.
