Well stocked kitchen. Had all the amenities we needed to cook all of our meals at home.
Despite the cabins being next to one another, it felt very private. It was also very quiet. Lots of parking available.
Within walking distance to Geoffrey Bay and Alma Bay. Ten minute drive to ferry terminal and Woolworths.

The staff was so nice and friendly. It's really pretty, full of nature. The bus stops just in front of it. The beach is less than 10min far from. My bed was comfy. The pool is really nice. Few activities are offered

Great little hidden treasure, everything you would need, really powerful outside shower! Handy location right by the bus stop or a short walk down to Nelly bay for care rentals etc, around a 5/10 min walk to the closest supermarket. Hosts gave really detailed instructions to access and kindly dropped us off at the ferry terminal after our stay which was greatly appreciated

Breakfast was fantastic, room was spacious and the balcony off it was a very pleasant surprise.
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.
The cabin was a lot more clean and modern than I was expecting, and the main bed was great and comfy. It was just down the road from Geoffrey Bay, which is a beautiful beach with snorkelling near the boat ramp. We met Roxanne at reception, and she was really nice and welcoming and kindly let us store our luggage after checkout as well - thanks again! There's a stove, fridge and microwave if you want to make any food, but also just 2 mins walk from Arcadia Village Hotel which was open for brekky, lunch and dinner.
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.
Check-in and transportation to the site was really easy as the office is straight opposite the ferry terminal on arrival. Staff there were really helpful. The location of the apartment in Arcadia is perfect. Totally quiet (well except for curlews!), easy for walking to the shop, beach, and bus stop, and 100 yards from the start of the trails for seeing wildlife (especially the koalas). We found no need to rent a car - the bus service is outstanding
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.
We loved our stay at Castaway Cottage. The amenities and location were perfect for our needs and comfort. Close to Alma Bay for swimming, close to bus stop, hotel, bottle shop, walking tracks and a ten minute walk to Nelly Bay ferry terminal. House was airy and light with the sound of the ocean drifting in. Beautiful view of Geoffrey Bay.
What a wonderful place to stay for a Maggie Island escape! House is well laid out and comfortable even with 6 adults and a baby in residence. Kitchen was great with ample crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Fantastic location with direct beach access and a short walk to the pub and other restaurants and cafes. Absolutely loved it!
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.
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.
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.
