I camped here in my caravan. Expected to stay one night. It was so peaceful & I was so tired from traveling that I stayed three nights. Carmen was nice & no nonsense. She was super busy getting ready for a wedding there but still made me feel welcome. I stayed for Wednesday Pizza Night which was a lovely community gathering. Was pleasantly suppressed they had gluten free options & it was in a wood fired oven. Mia at the bar was nice too! Beautiful peaceful place with a small lake, hiking trails, use of kitchen with fridge & burners, hot showers & flushing toilets. I’m a gardener & the grounds were lovely & full of beautiful tropical plants.

We had our wedding here in July. Carmen is an incredible asset to this place. During the planning process she was quick to reply, friendly and knowledgeable. On the day she was like a wizard, she was somehow everywhere doing everything whilst looking calm, happy and having a blast. We couldn’t have asked for a better person, so thank you Carmen for everything, you are a true gem! The actual venue is gorgeous, the gardens are stunning and it is magical. The Billabong will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

We stayed here as it was the venue for our Son's Wedding. Everything was perfect! Carmen is AMAZING. Nothing is too much trouble. Rain meant major changes to plans, but these were undertaken with ease. Rooms were large with everything you need for an overnight stay.

We just had our wedding on the weekend and I do not have one single bad comment on this place. Absolutely beautiful!
Carmen was insanely easy to deal with and I can honestly say that if it was not for her this wedding would not have gone as smoothly! She went well above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! She is worth her weight in gold I tell ya!
All round this place was a perfect choice for us, not expensive and we loved every single part about this place ❤️

Carmen needs a raise immediately!
We had our beautiful wedding at The Billabong in late May and it rained on us. It was perfect! We booked this venue over a year ahead and from day one, Carmen's communication skills were impeccable! Anything and everything we needed, she made it happen. On the day, she went above and beyond with everything. She also dealt with problematic guest and vendors for us, putting them in their place when needed. We did not have to deal with any of the nonsense!
The place is so beautiful! I wanna get married again just to relieve the fun we had!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Magical Tropical Wedding Venue

The Billabong and Karanda is an absolutely stunning venue nestled in the tropics – a true hidden gem! I’ve had the pleasure of attending two weddings here now, and each time has been nothing short of magical. The setting is breathtaking, with lush surroundings and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease.

Carmen and her team run the venue with incredible professionalism and genuine warmth. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Even with the recent challenging rain, they managed to seamlessly adapt and create an unforgettable celebration. Their attention to detail and commitment to making everything perfect truly shines through.

This venue has a special kind of charm that blends natural beauty with heartfelt hospitality. I can’t recommend The Billabong and Karanda highly enough for anyone dreaming of a tropical wedding that’s as seamless as it is spectacular. Bravo to Carmen and the team.

My partner booked this for my birthday. We stayed in the treehouse and it was AMAZING.
I absolutely loved it, it was so peaceful and incredibly private.
I see a lot of reviews trying to scare people away with bugs and no AC but if you’re wanting to stay in the tropics without bugs just don’t come 🤣
As for the AC there’s a big fan above your head in the bedroom and the tablelands get super chilly at night even during summer.
The wifi was great there for us.
I definitely recommend the treehouse for a stay 🙂
It’s also only 10 mins from town

my partner and i stayed here for one night in the treehouse and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. i saw someone leave a review saying how there are no air-cons, but let me tell you- it gets quite chilly at night and a lovely temp in the morning. even the view we woke up to was incredible. the service here is amazing, i asked Carmen one too many favours and she was just so sweet with every response. we will definitely be staying here again some time soon, i cannot get over how cool the treehouse experience is. everyone who is reading this or is thinking about booking at this place, do it!! it is so worth it.
