The serene gardens were a delightful backdrop to our stay, complemented by charming hosts who were eager to help. Breakfast was a highlight, and we enjoyed seeing cassowaries wander by. the room felt quite humid at night without air conditioning, affecting our comfort.

During our two-night stay, we were truly captivated by the beautiful gardens surrounding our room. Spotting wild cassowaries wandering through the yard was a major highlight, making our mornings feel magical. The homemade breakfast each day, featuring fresh fruits and baked treats, was something we looked forward to and added a personal touch to our experience. We couldn't get enough of the vibrant wildlife and stunning pool area, which provided a perfect escape after a day out exploring nearby attractions like the Mission Beach Markets and Djiru National Park.

A rollercoaster of pros and cons

Stunning hosts who went above and beyond to enhance my stay, paired with a delightful breakfast showcase featuring homemade delights. Unexpected wildlife visits added an enchanting touch!

The absence of air conditioning left me quite uncomfortable during the humid night , making sleep a bit tricky.

The breakfast at Licuala Lodge was absolutely amazing, featuring delightful local ingredients and a stunning outdoor setting. It's a treat not to be missed!

One downside was the lack of air conditioning in the Queen Room, which was unexpected given the warm climate in the area. It would be beneficial if this was clearly indicated in the room descriptions.

Beautiful gardens
Friendly hosts
Amazing breakfast

No air conditioning
Humid nights
Loud fan

beautiful gardens, stunning wildlife sightings, lovely pool

The lack of air conditioning made for a sweaty, uncomfortable night!!! A quieter fan option would be appreciated, as the current one disrupts sleep. The rooms could benefit from some updated décor as well!!!

wildlife encounters and delightful breakfasts

fresh fruit selection, attentive hosts

shared kitchen area

this lodge looked nice, but the lack of air conditioning was a major letdown and definitely not expected for summer. also, having a fan that sounded like a jet engine made sleep impossible. lastly, i woudl ve been thrilled with a little welcome gift or special treatment for enduring the discomfort. guess that's too much to ask.

Delicious homemade breakfast

A Nature Lover's Paradise!

Our stay exceeded expectations! The incredible wildlife sightings each morning, including cassowaries close to our balcony, added a unique thrill. Breakfast on the verandah felt like a private dining experience with delicious homemade treats. Don't miss exploring the stunning gardens and keep your camera ready for the local fauna!

This was just a decent option for a whistle-stop in Mission Beach with good value for cost. The breakfasts were a standout. I loved how fresh the ingredients were and the outdoor setting made it even better. Make sure to take a stroll through the beautiful gardens during your stay.

licuala lodge is a beautifull place in a lush garden. we loved each morning seeing the resident cassowary named charlie wandering around. breakfast was delish, with homemade treats and fresh fruits that felt personal. the room was spacious and very clean, perfect for ur stuff. the hosts, dawn and blair, were super friendly and made us feel like family!

the lack of air conditioning made the room humid at night which was uncomfortable. also, the fan was really loud and disrupted our sleep.
