Billabong Cottage at Sweetacres offers so much peace, relaxation, and enjoyment for guests onsite as well as being ideally located to take advantage for many cellar doors, restaurants, attractions, and activities within moments of your cottage.
Billabong Cottage is perfect for up to four guests and is exclusively positioned on the edge of the Sweetacres’ stunning natural billabong. Surrounded by casuarina woodlands, your days will be spent enjoying this idyllic location watching the ever-changing view of the billabong as it reflects the sky. The cottage features two well-appointed ensuite rooms with fans, a fully self-contained kitchen, air-conditioned open-plan sitting room with a cosy combustion wood fire. The extensive entertainment sun deck reaches out into the billabong and makes you feel like your cottage is floating. Teaming with birds, natural wildlife, and fish, it the perfect spot for a BBQ lunch, or a lazy afternoon in the sun. Guests are welcome to throw in a line or go for a relaxing row in the billabong boat and float away.
Moments away from Billabong Cottage, sample the delights of Hermitage Road and dine at Botanica, and Piggs Peake. Sample excellent food and brew at The Farm where you can horse ride, take a Segway tour, or meet the animals!

For the active at heart, take a bush walk around Sweetacres’ walking tracks past the billabong and the casuarina woodlands or, wander across the lawn to enjoy The Deck leisure area or a dip in the refreshing shared Guest saltwater pool.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Fantastic location. The cottage opposite the pond is so peaceful.We loved having a little possum on site with lots of birds & ducks. Great hosts as well
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2022
Love it. Everything you need is there.
Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2021
Clean, pretty, lovely spot, basic kitchen and not ideal for a family with 2 older kids as there are only 2 queen beds. A king bed that can be split into 2 singles would have made the trip perfect.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
Overall it was nice but we were disappointed with a few aspects of our stay. When we contacted the property manager they were very prompt in addressing what they could which we appreciated. We weren’t comfortable with the lack of privacy in front of the house (no blinds/curtains covering the windows in the living area and kitchen) and some of the items in the kitchen were really grotty. We were there for two nights and there were only 2 coffee pods for our entire stay and minimal teabags. This isn’t a massive deal but we found details like that lacking which was disappointing for the price we were paying.
Overall it was comfortable and in a good location. The two bedrooms had their own bathrooms which I liked.
I wouldn’t not recommend this place, I just feel like you can get much nicer for the same price or less.
