Hello John and Jennifer, thank you for your fantastic review and for being such wonderful guests. The weather has improved here now so we are hoping you have seen a bit more sun up in Cairns. We do hope you enjoyed your stay up on The Tablelands and that you were able to visit the places we recommended. Kind regards Robert & Adrienne Hibiscus Lodge Mission Beach

We had planned to stay in Mission Beach in the hope of seeing Cassowaries. In the end we were unlucky on that score. However, we were very pleased that we had chosen to stay with Robert and Adrienne in the wonderful house. The location is fantastic. It was a treat to watch wallabies in the garden over breakfast.

Thank you Liz and James for such a fantastic review. Pleased you enjoyed your breakfast with the Cassowary . Still visits every morning. Did you know that Hibiscus Lodge is the only B&B in the world where you can actually have breakfast with the Cassowary. We would love to see you both again sometime.

Mission Beach delight
Welcoming friendly hosts. Property in park like grounds with some wallabies arriving for breakfast each morning. Substantial continental breakfast included which was highlighted by the delicious homemade muffins. Located centrally in the Mission Bay Area and close to major retail services. However vehicle transport is a must to explore the area.

Thankyou so much Christine for your most comprehensive review. It is very informative and accurate so we do appreciate your thoughts. Pleased you had a great stay with us. The Cassowary have arrived back now which is a great delight to all our guests. Kind regards Robert & Adrienne

Wallabies
Robert and Adrienne made us very welcome and we felt immediately comfortable. Very clean and well appointed. The complimentary drink with the hosts was enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent with homemade jams and the icing on the cake were the wallabies who all but joined us at the table! It was good to see the obvious pleasure our hosts gained from nurturing these animals without taming them.

Hibiscus Lodge Retreat
This was a lovely place to stay. We were met by a group of Agile wallabies in the grounds to this B&B and they also appeared each morning at breakfast. A young cassowary also made an appearance one afternoon. Robert and Adrienne were thoughtful and helpful hosts and the 6.00 pm happy hours each evening was a great way to get to know each other and discuss the day and share experiences.

Best of Australia
A gem of a property run by convivial hosts who know & love the area. Adrienne calls the wallaby and they appear 2 feet off the brekki veranda. Manicured gardens & vast lawn give best chance to catch a look at the legendary Cassowary once thought extinct
Hi Maureen, A bit late in the day but thankyou so much for your great review from last March. The Cassowary have once again returned to their daily visit routine. Kind regards Robert & Adrienne Hibiscus Lodge Bed and Breakfast Mission Beach

The highlight of our holiday!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hibiscus Lodge! The personal service was first class and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing free breakfast with freshly made Blueberry muffins and Fresh fruit. Such a delight to have Wallabies eating their breakfast nearby as Adrienne the owner feeds them every morning!! We also had a pre-dinner drink on the deck with the owners and other guests and this was beyond our expectation! We would definitely stay here again should we ever be at Mission Beach in the future Would thoroughly recommend Hibiscus Lodge for those guests that want a peaceful and tranquil location that is surrounded by nature! Excellent value for money.

Relaxing B&B short distance to beach
This was my first experience at a B&B and the owners were very friendly polite people. A very short drive to the beach and a very peaceful area. The wildlife came up to the back deck whilst enjoying breakfast. I will definitely recommend the Hibiscus Lodge Bed & Breakfast to my friends and family!
