We found this beautiful gem while organizing our Australia trip. We are very glad that we booked this beautiful B & B.
When we drove up to the driveway of Licuala Lodge, both my wife and I looked at each other and smiled and said, "Is this it? It's beautiful!!" Mick and Sue keep their property in pristine order. During the day, you will see Mick working away in his gardens making the property an oasis to stay at.
The property has a kitchen with microwave, toaster, cooktop for pots and pans and a BBQ which we used for our 2 nights and 3 days that we stayed there. We made ourselves some delicious dinners after going to the grocery store which is only a 5 minute drive away.
The room was very clean and was very comfortable. It included a small refrigerator to keep our groceries and chill our wine. The rooms are all elevated off the ground with the vehicles parked under them.
Mick and Sue have thought of every little detail from a candle and lighter on the table outside each room to enjoy at night, having ice cream available for a small cost (honour system) and having complimentary beer in the main fridge in the house. The breakfasts were delicious and filling, with fruit salad, cereal, toast, muffins and a small menu of hot food.
My wife and I spent nearly the entire time at the lodge laying by the pool and enjoying the beautiful property. We are glad we did, as we saw many sightings of the Cassowary. If you really want to see this very unique bird, we encourage you to lounge by the pool. You will see our encounters in the pictures we uploaded.
Thank you to Mick and Sue for your hospitality and making our stay with you memorable. We recommend this B & B to anyone wishing to stay in the beautiful town of Mission Beach.
