Breakfast was exceptional. They pandered to the groups various dietary needs and the view at the breakfast table was beautiful.
AustraliaBreakfast was excellent ...strong coffee, home made bread plus great fruits and a cooked stuff.
AustraliaThe breakfast was amazing! Great location beautiful rooms and could not have asked for more . The place was super clean and cosy- right in the rainforest only 5 min drive to beach.
AustraliaAbsolutley beautiful accomidation, the owners are beautiful and so accomidating, and the breakfast amazing. Not to forget the resident cassowary that is foraging for berries in the forest.
AustraliaWe totally enjoyed our stay at this lodge. The surroundings are beautiful, quiet and serene. It was a hot steamy weekend, with lots of rain, but sitting out on the balcony watching the rain pelt down, was the best part. There's something special about being in a rain forest while its raining! We unfortunately didn't see any cassowaries, but was told we missed them by minutes, when we ducked out to do some exploring of the surrounding area. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, lots of special touches added to make it cosy. thank you, Dawn & Blair were the best hosts , friendly and welcoming. They also make a mean breakfast, cooked to perfection. I would recommend Licuala Lodge as a getaway, because its different, its beautiful, friendly hosts, amazing breakfast, clean cosy rooms.
AustraliaThis was a lovely stay. Dawn and Blair are excellent hosts, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was awesome. Room lovely, with a great veranda and lovely garden view. Would highly recommend staying here. Charlie the Cassowary and his chicks was an added bonus.
AustraliaA beautiful location surrounded by wildlife, comfortable and clean rooms and the owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Plenty of restaurants in the area, including two excellent Thai restaurants.
