Queensland Bed and Breakfast - Licuala Lodge

Queensland Bed and Breakfast - Licuala Lodge

So what do you get for your breakfast here at Licuala Lodge. Well let me tell you, it is none of this "there's some milk in the fridge, cereal in the cupboard, and a few slices of bread embedded in some plastic wrap". And believe it or not, there are one or two Queensland bed and breakfast places where the above is true.

Here at Licuala Lodge,a great Queensland bed and breakfast, your brekky is served on the upper verandah of the main house. All you have to do is get out of your nice Sealy queen size bed and walk a few metres from the guest accommodation.

Included in the price is a great Tropical Breakfast. This consists of cereal, fresh fruit salad (and I mean really fresh !!), toast, jams, honey, cheese, salami, ham, yogurt, muffins, tea, coffee and real 100% juice (normally orange, and if you are lucky enough pineapple and apple will also be on offer).
Sue prepares the fruit salad in the morning so it really is fresh. What does Sue put in her fruit salads ? Mango, melon, pawpaw, seedless grapes, strawberries, banana, kiwi fruit, plum, apple, pear, pomelo, grapefruit, lychee, rambutan. I'll bet some of you have never even tasted some of these exotic tropical fruits, or even never heard of them !! All the fruit is grown locally, and as such is seasonal (for instance mango season is November through to about May), so you won't always get all of the above, but pretty much most of it. I won't pretend that all the fruit is organic, but I can assure you that we do try to get organic stuff whenever we can. And one of our suppliers grows a fruit called a Lemonade - yes a Lemonade. Now I'll bet you thought a lemonade was a soft drink !!
Cereal is a choice of muesli, crunchy nut corn flakes and some other in vogue cereal. And of course for the kids we have Coco Pops (and Nutella!!).
The yogurt is home-made. The vanilla yogurt is particularly worth getting out of bed for. Also we have both vegemite and marmite, and Nutella!! (Many thanks to all of you who brought us a jar of marmite in response to the request for marmite that we posted on the website - we were flabbergasted. We are now OK for marmite for the next few years!!)

Most days you will get a couple of pancakes with maple syrup - you lucky people !! Hot cheese bread (sometimes with bacon) is on offer pretty much all of the time.
So all of this adds up to the yummiest breakfast in Queensland - and you can have as much as you want.

The water we use is filtered through the Nikken Pimag Water System. The water that comes out is absolutely beautiful - I kid you not. So your coffee tastes like coffee, and your tea tastes like tea. I can't recommend the Nikken system highly enough. If you want to see it in action just have a peek in our kitchen. Small wonder this is a truly great Queensland bed and breakfast.

 ... or try a COOKED BREAKFAST - aka The Full Monty

If you fancy spoiling yourself whilst on holiday in Queensland, then go for the Full Monty - which is two eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans or sweetcorn and (optionally) black pudding - All this for only $10 per head - wow !! - another bargain.
Of course you get all the Tropical breakfast as well, so if you can manage all that then surely you won't want any lunch ?!
And if you order the Full Monty you get to have your name immortalised on our Full Monty page. See our Tropical North Queensland bed breakfast page for our Hall of Fame/Hall of Shame. The Hall of Fame is for those people who manage to eat all of the cooked breakfast, and the Hall of Shame is for those whose eyes are bigger than their bellies, and cannot finish the breakfast. And no giving any of the breakfast to your partner - I'll be watching you !!

The real good news about having a full cooked breakfast is that we have a special machine that removes all the calories - how good is that. So no need to worry about piling on all that weight. What more could you possibly ask for ?? A machine that takes away the cholesterol ?? OK- we're working on that one !!

Our breakfast times are 7:30 till 9:00. If you have to get out of bed early during your stay in North Queensland, then just let us know the night before, and you can have an early breakfast with pleasure.
Oh, and make sure that you order your cooked breakfasts the day before, otherwise head chef Sue is likely to throw one of her famous tantrums (not that the guests ever get to see one of her tantrums).

So have I whet your appetite for the yummiest breakfast in all Queensland ?? Or have I droned on too much as usual ?? I know I have droned on a bit, but it is all part of a cunning plan.
