Absolutely enjoyed our 2 night stay at Licuala Lodge. Stayed in the Superior King Room which was private, clean and modern with lots of special little touches. It also had a patio area with its own entrance to the guest common area and kitchen. Continental breakfast was included in our rate and we also purchased a cooked breakfast option for one morning. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and presentation of the food offered to us. Set amongst nature with beautiful gardens and a fantastic pool and only minutes to the beach, shops and town. A perfect spot to relax or explore the beauty of the area. Thoroughly recommend Licuala Lodge for the way the owners take pride in how they present what their property has to offer and also their approachable, friendly personality.

Bird Paradise
We found this place online for being the good place to spot cassowary. And it didn't disappoint us. Within 30 mins of arrival (close to sunset), a cassowary wandered through the garden and gave us a huge surprise while we were watching other birds and butterflies. We saw it again next morning walking out of the forest next to the swimming pool. Besides cassowary, we also saw many stunning butterflies and birds, including catbird, figbird, olive-backed sunbird, bar-shouldered dove, yellow-spotted honey eater...just name a few. If you are a birder, then this place is perfect for you. We stayed at the king room, and it has its own private patio and grill. Couple things to mention: updated bathroom, spotless bedroom, delicious home made breakfast, best of all, super nice hosts. We highly recommend this place for anyone visiting mission beach!

A beautiful location with wonderful hosts
Our 5 night stay at Licuala Lodge was just wonderful. Our hosts Blair and Dawn were very attentative, friendly and full of information about the local area. The bonus of seeing a male Cassowary and his two chicks strolling through the property on 3 of our 5 days was a real highlight. The included breakfast was fresh and filling and set us up for the days activities. The view from the breakfast deck over the mature gardens is a relaxing way to start the day. The rooms were comfortable and include everything you need for an overnight or extended stay. Provision of a shared lounge with kitchen facilities was important to us and we enjoyed preparing a meal here on a number of nights. There is even a fridge with beer/wine/soft drink and ice-creams available for purchase in the lounge area. We would most definitely return and stay with Blair and Dawn again. You really can't go wrong with booking to stay at this wonderful BnB.

A hidden gem
Lovely and charming little place tucked away from tourists with wonderful gardens. 2 cassowaries with chicks spotted in 2 days. Breakfast is lovely. Only 20 minutes walk to the beach and a couple of places to eat. Very sweet and helpful owners. Will come again!

This property would not suit everyone. It is not on the beach, it does not have TV in your room and the pool is not great. It has a shared verandah where you can sit and share travellers tales and magnificent gardens. Walls between rooms are thin. Works if you are with like-minded people. Owners super friendly and couldn't do enough for you - breakfast enormous. Lodge located in rainforest - on both mornings of our stay a casawary strolled across gardens to everyones delight. Wallabies sighted too. A relaxed stay away from the main strip and truly memorable.
