Excellent location – rated 9.4/10! (score from 223 reviews)
Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
this lovely little B&B sits in its own garden on the edge of a cassowary conservation area, from which it is not fenced. Hence the Lodge is often visited by passing wildlife, including several cassowaries whose territory this is. The other main attractions here are the splendid breakfast provided by Dawn, and the personalised tour guiding trips offered by her and husband Blair. While the rooms are small, they they are beautifully appointed, with considered attention to detail that make for a pleasant and comfortable stay.

AustraliaThe property is set in beautiful gardens. We were lucky to see a cassowary wander through the garden after breakfast and stop to eat an orange whilst we watched. There is also a nice pool area although we didn’t have time to use it. Dawn, our host, was lovely to chat with and super helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. she also spoilt us with a lovely breakfast.

AustraliaWe loved our stay at Licuala Lodge. Dawn and Blair were excellent hosts. The room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We loved the location which backs onto the forest. We even saw two cassowaries that regularly stroll into the property. Breakfast was a bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

The Lodge is situated next to World Heritage rainforest, 5 minutes from the beach and a short journey by boat to the Great Barrier Reef. Cassowaries wander through the property on a daily basis, both adults and their young - a wonderful opportunity to see this endangered bird. The Lodge overlooks a magnificent garden full of native plants - a haven for butterflies, birds and bumble bees.
Hello, we are the owners of Licuala Lodge - Dawn, Blair and Rowan and we would like to welcome you to our property where the rain forest almost meets the reef! Enjoy our amazing garden, filled with birds and butterflies, with visits by our Cassowary family.....our wonderful swimming pool and our friendly hospitality. In the mornings share your breakfast time with other like-minded guests and share your experiences. We can book your Mission Beach tours and give advice on things to do in the area.
We are a family of Diving Instructors, can teach you to dive on site and organise your trips to the Reef!
We look forward to meeting you.
Mission Beach is a small town, where crime is almost unheard of. Our population is around 1500. Lots of rainforest walks are to be found along with 14 kms of unspoilt beach. Plenty of restaurants in the area, including two excellent Thai restaurants. A large supermarket is close by, a new local heated swimming pool, and loads of activities for the adventurous amongst you - scuba diving, sky diving, white water rafting, horse riding!! it is a fabulous place for photography due to its amazing flora and fauna - the magnificent Cassowary is a frequent sighting at Mission Beach - we see them at the Lodge most days....Or if you simply want to relax - kick back and read a book - easy to find a spot in the neighbourhood!
