リクアラ ロッジ(Licuala Lodge)

The room was very comfortable and clean, our hosts were extremely friendly and sharing the experiences and maps of the area. Breakfast was absolutely delicious with home made bread jams and the mixed fruits were just delicious. The gardens are so tropical and green, and a short stroll brings you to the pool and the cassowaries just wandering the topping on the cake. Our three day stay was divine Thank you so much

This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life - Licuala Lodge is a little slice of Heaven on Earth! Jon and Guillermo are fabulous hosts! Breakfast was amazing, and the highlight was the Cassowary. I will definitely return to Queensland someday just to come stay here. Cheers heaps!

Our favourite accommodation of whole trip, we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Amazing location. Very comfortable stylish rooms. Excellent breakfast. Very welcoming hosts, we wish them well in their new venture, they deserve to do well. Would highly recommend, wished we'd stayed longer.

This place is a gem and we would recommend it to anyone travelling to Mission Beach! The owners are the most lovely people. They prepared a handmade breakfast for us each morning. On arrival they kindly organised transport from the bus terminal and even brought us back upon departure. The rooms are amazing with a ceiling fan, large bathroom and a small fridge. There is no AC, but despite the heat in December it was enough. The whole lodge is decorated thoughtfully and kept in great shape. However, the absolute highlight is the wildlife. We saw a cassowary passing through during our breakfast, beautiful red dragonflies I'm the garden all day round, and a padmelon in the rainforest next to the garden. While a car is definitely preferable in the wide spread mission beach area, we were fine without. It possible to walk to the beach and restaurants in Wongaling within 20 minutes. Next to the large street is a broad footpath such that walking is safe as well. TL;DR Would recommend this lodge to anyone!

Jean and partner had only taken over Licuala lodge a month ago but I have no doubt will make a real go of it. They provided a great service, excellent breakfasts, clean en-suite room and good local knowledge. We really enjoyed our stay and mission beach was a good place to break the journey between Magnetic Island and The Daintree area. The gardens and pool were also really attractive and we spotted a couple of cassowaries. Good to stay somewhere independent with real charm.

We had the best time at Licuala Lodge. Dawn and Blair were fantastic hosts and really looked after us. The breakfast was delicious and generous and our room was really comfortable with a great view across the beautiful garden from the balcony. The highlight of course was seeing the visiting cassowaries - out of this world! Highly recommended! Mission Beach is a great place to hang out for a while.

Lovely place to stay for a few nights. Great hosts - more like staying with friends. Super breakfast - gluten free if you tell them in advance. Lots of advise on where to go in the area. Communal kitchen and dining space very useful - we got a takeaway one night, cooked in another. The cassowaries walking straight out of the rainforest into the grounds were amazing, very special.

Booked here for just one night to breakup the long drive down the East Coast. Set back from the beachfront you can walk, but we preferred to drive. We were made extremely welcome. Great hosts. The accomadation was just what we needed for the overnight stop. Able to park our car under our room. The rooms have several fans, not air con, but this wasn't an issue despite the heat outside. Queen double beds and a very good shower etc in the room. WiFi very good which was a bonus after the quality of WiFi weekend elsewhere. The pool is an interesting design and well worth a dip. Great continental breakfast and our hosts had loads of information about the area. Thanks.
