This was a lovely little studio with fully equipped kitchenette. The patio had table/chairs and was a good place to watch the local birds. While the double bed was a little small for us, the couch was effectively a single bed and very comfortable. The location was close to both walking tracks and great restaurants. We had a very comfortable stay!

We had such a wonderful stay here. The space is spacious, cozy, and beautifully designed, with great amenities. We also loved the balcony, the pool, and the lovely garden area. Although the bathroom is located outside, it was exclusively for our use, very clean, and still felt completely private and comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful — just stepping outside, we could see wild wallabies, which was such a special experience. It’s also within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and the bus stop, making everything very convenient. Anita and Simon are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. They gave us great recommendations and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We feel so lucky and grateful to have found such an amazing place to stay. This is definitely somewhere we would love to come back to again and again

Used the Bus Service to get around.

Used the Bus Service to get around. Favorite places were Golf Club in Picnic Bay for a round of Golf. Bounce in Horseshoe Bay. Acadia for Toad Racing. Eat at Magnetic Island Brewery, Boardwalk (Peppers). Early Bird Cafe in Nelly Bay for breakfast and Great Coffee! Go Sailing on the Pilgrim Sunset Cruise. Worth every cent. A huge shout out to Lizzie our host for all of her local knowledge (100). A wonderful experience.

Its a great location for families with young children and couples that are middle aged or older and don't have overly high standards! The ground staff, cleaners, restaurant staff were all fabulous. The reception staff (what we saw of them) and one or two of the bar staff seemed to be a bit moody.

Horeshoe bay is a pretty, safe beach.

Horeshoe bay is a pretty, safe beach. There are some great walks to other bays that are close by. The shops cafes, pub, restaurants and a general store, give the place a lovely village feeling, Also lots of tours can be booked here. Bus runs right to the bay. Love this place.

The location of Rod's unit is great for the Picnic Beach area. The beach, restaurants, and pub are a short walk away. The golf course in town is very nice too. We had a fun game with Rod one afternoon.

There are spots on the island you can only access via 4WD so I would recommend hiring a car. I hired a scooter which was great and so good on fuel, however they are very slow going up hills and cant get you everywhere.

Arcadia is a great place to visit and to stay on Magnetic Island. The main beach, which is part of the Nature reserve, is lovely to walk around and also to see Rock Wallabies in the early evening. Alma Bay is particularly good for young children, with plenty of shade and grassy areas in addition to a small It's only a short walk in the the main centre at Nelly Beach, the Ferry Terminal and a well stocked supermarket and bottle shop.
