Lovely, people but the rooms were a little run down and not amazingly clean. Not a huge bother as they got us in on an early check in and we also were offered a late check out which suited us as we all had kids playing in the pool. The location is amazing and to be honest the rooms were exactly as we expected. We spent most the time outside enjoying the island which is exactly what maggie island is for. We would stay again.
Located in Arcadia in the Magnetic Island region, with Geoffrey Bay Beach and Alma Bay Beach nearby, Dandaloo Gardens provides accommodations with free private parking.

The property is one big beautifully maintained garden. There’s a great sense of privacy and seclusion since you really can’t see much of the property from the road. Our unit was spacious and comfortable, well laid out.

Had a lovely stay at True North! Breakfast was delicious and room really nice. Deb was lovely!
Just as a side note- wifi only works intermittently and reception at the island is not great.

Beautiful property, light and bright inside, and great location! Also an exceptionally comfortable bed to really make it feel like you’re in a home away from away.

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.
