“Amazing B&B and owners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

Oh my! This B&B was amazing, as were Stephen and Maureen the hosts. The 2 guest rooms are on the ground floor of the house with direct access to the pool. The owners have great attention to detail and there was a welcome folder in the room with just about everything you could want to know about, magazine’s left out for you to read, hammocks, beach towels, books, candles and beautiful flowers. The room had a fridge with milk and water provided, a kettle and tea and coffee, and a daily delivery of lovely homemade biscuits. Free internet access for the laptop was available. The pool is available for the guest’s to use and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming in it.

The breakfast table was set out with beautiful tropical flowers, fruit salad, cereal, toast and home baked goodies and we enjoyed our chats over breakfast with the hosts. Another bonus at breakfast was watching the butterflies in the garden. Mossman has some lovely places to eat out and it’s a great location to visit the Daintree, Cape Trib and Port Douglas.

Stay here you will love it!

“Beautiful surroundings”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

We stayed for 3 nights in July 2010, having seen the reviews. There was quite a bit of rain which restricted our movements, but Papillon is the perfect place to while away a rainy afternoon. Stephen & Maureen were lovely hosts, the breakfast was delicious, and the balcony view of the beautiful garden with its flowers and birds was perfect.
We are keen birdwatchers & Stephen & Maureen suggested good places to go, but for none birdwatchers they also know the area very well & can suggest possibilities.
Would definitely stay here again if we return to Queensland.

“Sleeping in the jungle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2010

Early in December 2009 we have stayed for three nights at the Papillion B&B. It is a very nice B&B, the room was fairly small, but adequate, very clean and well maintained. The house is located in a charming garden, so that you can have the feeling of being right in the jungle.
The breakfast was absolutely brilliant, there were plenty of fresh fruits and warm bread and selfmade muffins. All was done very carefully. Stephen and Maureen were very friendly and helpful and gave us many valuable tips for our trips.
The Pappillion BB was one of the best accomodation we have had on our 7 week trip to Australia. We would like to come back any time. Many thanks to Stephen and Maureen.

“Paradise in North Queensland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2010

If you are looking for a great place to stay near the Daintree Rain Forest and Cape Tribulation, you could not ask for a better spot. My husband and I just returned from a world wind trip to Australia and we are so glad we found this little piece of paradise located in Mossman. Our hosts, Stephen and Maureen, provided us with insightful and useful information about the area from the minute I sent my first email. Even though we had many options of places to stay in the area, I chose Papillon because I could tell from our correspondence how friendly and helpful the owners would be. Their beautiful Bali-style house (lots of open air and porches) is set amongst a huge garden with lots of flowering plants and birds. Our bedroom, located on the bottom floor, looked out to the gardens and pool. Because we were the only ones staying there at the time, we had the entire downstairs area to ourselves. We left the doors open and just used the screens so we could here the rain and the wildlife. It was like sleeping outside, but protected from the elements. Just what a stay in the rainforest should be! Because our spot was so nice, we would order take away food every night and eat on our deck with a bottle of wine and candlelight and listen to nature. The breakfasts were fabulous with lots of fresh fruits, toasts, muffins, jams and cereals. They are happy to arrange any tours you may want as well. Stay here. You won't be sorry!

“Simply, the BEST!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2010

We traveled all over Australia and New Zealand and we found Papillion to be the best bed and breakfast we stayed at. The hosts Maureen and Stephen were intelligent, helpful and anticipated our needs and offered their guidance willingly. The breakfast was tasty and delightfully presented. The swimming pool was an added plus and wildlife was all around us. We were very grateful to have found Papillion and its hosts. We highly recommend this tropical delight.
