Breakfast

Mungumby Lodge homestead

Mungumby Lodge has been a successful Bed & Breakfast for the past 33 years. Operating in the region well before electricity and sealed road arrived in these parts. We believe that breakfast is one of the most important start to a day. We, therefore, offer an inexpensive buffet continental breakfast that suits most, as you will never please everybody. It is additional to your room price and can be pre-ordered with internet and travel agent bookings. Also available on the day subject to availability of seating at the required time.
