The BilliResort

Set among tropical gardens off Oryx Road at Cable Beach, this sustainability-minded property links its accommodation with raised timber walkways through the greenery. The range runs from one- and two-bedroom villas with full kitchens, outdoor decks and rain showers, to studio rooms and air-conditioned eco-tents with kitchenettes, ensuites and freestanding baths. The name comes from Bilingurr, the Indigenous term for this stretch of coast. Self-catering throughout, and carrying a bronze sustainable-tourism certification, it suits couples and families after a quiet base near the beach.
