And when you leave just give us the nod if you fancy having your photo on the web. Have a look at our numerous Guest Pages - maybe you'll recognise someone !!

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.

Just 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). Dare you walk down Snake and Spider Alley ?? Will you be able to cross the bridge unaided ?? Walk with dinosaurs !! How long will it take you to spot all the creatures ??

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. To get to Licuala Lodge, your Tropical North Queensland accommodation see the Location page.
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 the finest accommodation Great Barrier Reef can 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)!!

And our rusty monitor is now making daily appearances - see the wildlife page (aka the cassowary Mission Beach page) for more pictures. The various native trees and plants are attracting more and more species of birds to the Lodge. Why stay anywhere else ??
