I wanted to be among the wildlife and sights and sounds of nature and that's exactly what I got. The cabins are set among lovely tropical gardens with big paper bark trees. Cabins well equipped and clean with a lovely balcony.
Lovely little pool perfect for cooling off after a morning walking.

The food at the restaurant was fabulous and I was thrilled that there were many gluten free options beyond the usual very basic choices. The service at dinner was terrific. Lovely gardens in the grounds and a nice swimming pool. Quiet location and an easy walk from the ferry, and then only a short walk to the beginning of a beautiful bush walking trail. Bus stops right out front for you. Friendly staff who kindly accommodated a late checkout for us.

This was the perfect place to stay on Magnetic Island! The room was so clean, light and spacious. Really comfy bed and well stocked kitchen and bathroom - the owner even gave us some chocolate, wine and wallaby food!! We were able to check in early which was so helpful. Wished we booked for longer, it was perfect.

Beautiful place, very clean and tidy, with beautiful pool. Not a long walk from Nelly bay. Host was happy to facilitate an earlier check in which was great so we could drop our bags early.
Magnetic Island is still an affordable place for a getaway.
Magnetic Island is still an affordable place for a getaway. Just need to be mindful of the stinger season and where you choose to swim. Horseshoe Bay and Picnic bay offer stinger nets. Alma Bay has great facilities and close to Arcadia pub.

Arcadia is a little quieter and less touristy than the popular Horseshoe Bay. Alma Bay is a beautiful place to swim, with natural protection from stingers. Alma Bay is easily within walking distance from Arcadia. There are a couple of great convenience stores. The ferry terminal is minutes away.

The folks running the motel were super friendly and helpful and tried to accommodate us as best as they could - letting us check in slightly early and check out slightly late, which was very much appreciated.
The aircon could've been a bit better, but was fine in the end.
All in all a very enjoyable stay, and a perfect location to explore from, would definitely stay there again.

Arcadia is the best bay on Magnetic island.
Arcadia is the best bay on Magnetic island. Walk along Geoffrey Bay, head out to the old jetty and feed the rock wallabies. Swim in Alma Bay, snorkle around the rocks or jump off Bums rock at high tide. Lounge on the terraced lawn sweeping down to the beach in the shade ( if swimming is not your thing), cook your own BBQ or head over to the Pub for lunch and a swim in their pool. head up to the Waterfall pools, or hike to Nelly. Walk or bus tothe other Bays. Look out for the Koalas and wandering Curlews and Echidnas that call Arcadia home.
Magnautical Cottage is comfy, cosy, quaint and close to Alma Bay beach - which is great. We loved the house as we don't like staying those modern concrete shoeboxes that seem to dominate the rental market these days. Nice gardens and sitting on the front porch in the wooden rocking chairs for Fives is a treat. Just across the road is the Arcadia corner store which has an amazing selection of high quality food stuffs and even pre-cooked meals for sale. Nice walking in the area. Bus stops right outside too.
The location was fabulous, very easy walking distance to Nelly Bay, Arcadia, Geoffrey Bay, Alma Bay and a convenience store and café right across the road. House was very comfortable and heaps of room for the dog in the fully enclosed yard. You even get a small glimpse of the water from the front deck. The spotlights on the national park hill at the back were beautiful. Wonderful array of books to read, movies to watch and games to play.
The units have everything that you need. The location is perfect with the best beach a short walk away and the bus at your doorstep. They run regularley which is all you need to get around the island. They run from Picnic Bay to Horseshore Bay and its cheap. You really don't need a car. We spoke with Roxanne about some of the improvements that they are making to the property and these will make it even better.
Great space, decor, amenities and location, close to Arcadia pub and Geoffrey Bay. Very handy 3 min bus ride from Nelly Bay ferry terminal and so convenient to have a bus stop directly out the front of the house. Loved our friendly visiting kookaburra - a real treat for the kids! BBQ on the verandah also a bonus.
Very well equipped house with all mod cons. Nicely decorated, also had Netflix. Being opposite Geoffreys Beach, although couldn’t really swim there. Close to restaurants and small shop and walking distance to the rock wallabies which are cute.
loved the balcony view of the beach and the ocean breeze, and the room was amazing...Only a sort walk to the hotel bar and eatery.
And the Stage Door theatre restaurant only 500m away, with a short walk for the bus.
Price. Comfortable. Large area for 2 people. All possible cooking utensils provided. Very comfortable bed. Easy to keep clean during stay. Walking distance to Stagedoor Theatre, beach and Arcadia Hotel.
The House at Dandaloo gardens is much bigger then expected, it was great for our family. Close to Elma Beach and Arcadia. Lots of wildlife - would definitely stay here again. Great value for money!
Breakfast not included. Spacious and well positioned close to beach, hotel and bus stops. Comfortable beds and clean apartment. Probably overcatered given there were only two of us staying.
Location perfect. Facilities very good. Arcadia is my favourite on the Island, only downfall no coffee shop, have to go walk to Drop Bear cafe. Otherwise great location.
great location with the beach right there across the road. super helpful owners who helped us so much. loved staying in Arcadia and loved how spacious the room was.
