It’s simple: "La-Lo-Li", rhyming with "me". It stems from Laugh, Love, Live, and also means "to drop anchor" in the Trobriand Islands.

We are nestled in the Little Mulgrave Valley at the junction of the Mulgrave and Little Mulgrave rivers, just 25 kilometres (a scenic 30-minute drive) south-west of Cairns.

Our local council zoning approval allows a maximum of 1,500 150 guests for events at Laloli. (Note: 150 is the correct capacity per venue guidelines).

Yes! Couples supply their own beverages. To ensure smooth hospitality, we require you to engage a professional, RSA-qualified bar service. We enforce a strict glass-free policy for safety (cans, polycarbonate, and plastic glassware are welcome, while glass wine bottles and beer stubbies are permitted).

Unlike venues that charge thousands extra for a marquee standby, Laloli includes the beautiful, rustic Sugar Shed as your built-in, weather-proof ceremony and reception space.

To respect our local council permits and neighbours, all receptions must conclude and guests depart by 10:30 PM. Total event hire is capped at eight hours. We highly recommend booking a guest charter bus for a 10:15 PM departure.

Yes, dogs are welcome to join your ceremony and photos by strict prior arrangement, provided they head home afterward!
