We have loads of games, DVDs including all the Fawlty Towers episodes, and books - you're welcome to swap paperback books here (see our Things To Do page - aka the accommodation Queensland page). If you really can't bear to be away from the computer, then access to the Internet is here at Licuala Lodge - the best Mission Beach accommodation (probably).

This wonderful Mission Beach accommodation is situated in beautiful tropical rainforest, just a kilometer or so from the beach. By car the beach is just a two minute drive, or if you fancy walking it is a pleasant twenty minute stroll. The nearest shops and restaurants are even closer - just a fifteen minute walk or a minute by car.
Detailed directions to the Lodge from Cairns, Townsville and the Atherton Tablelands can be found on our Location page.

Completed in June 2007 a fabulous Rainforest Walk at the back of the Guest units. See numerous species of wildlife (including squirrels, spiders, snakes and gnomes).

MISSION BEACH

A little bit about the area ...
Set in its own cluster of tropical rainforest is the sparkling jewel of the Cassowary Coast... Mission Beach, in the very heart of the Wet Tropics, over 14 km of magnificent golden sandy beaches. Offshore are the beautiful Family Group of islands including Dunk, Bedarra and Timana Islands, and just south is the largest island National Park in the world, Hinchinbrook Island. The Great Barrier Reef is only 38 kilometres away making Mission Beach the closest access to the Reef. It is home to the regal Southern Cassowary, a gracious but elusive flightless bird, which unfortunately is on the list of the World's Endangered Species. The area is also home to dozens of species of other birds and butterflys, the most famous being the blue Ulysses Butterfly. It's cousin, the Cairns Birdwing can also be found while enjoying the many rainforest walking tracks criss-crossing this ecotourism paradise. If it is R&R that you are after, then look no further - great walks, great views, great wildlife - all interrupted by wonderful blue sky and a welcoming sea breeze. The restuarants here are first rate - no junk food outlets here at all !! Can you beat that ?! Surrounded by National Parks and World Heritage listed reef and rainforest, Mission Beach is simply the most tranquil and magnificent place on earth.
But for all you adventure seekers, then fear not ! Scuba diving and snorkelling on the reef is just an hour away from our cute jetty. White water rafting addicts can have an adrenalin fix at nearby Tully, and for those with a head for heights Tandem Skydiving is another option. Or maybe a sedate day's fishing is more to your liking, or perhaps a round of golf. All these can be done at Licuala Lodge, the finest Mission Beach accommodation on offer. Go on - treat yourself - spend a few days here at Mission Beach doing nothing or doing something. Either way you'll have a whale of a time - I promise you. Trust me - I'm a B&B owner (of the best Mission Beach accommodation - probably)!!
