Arcadia Village Motel, hotel in Arcadia

Located on Magnetic Island, overlooking Alma Bay and Geoffrey Bay, Arcadia Village Motel offers 3 bars, a café and 2 swimming pools. All rooms feature a flat-screen TV.

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.

Dandaloo Gardens, hotel in Arcadia

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.

    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.

    Bus services are recommended, no need to hire a car. All beaches are beautiful, Alma, Horseshoe Bay, Balding, Picnic Bay, etc, you can't go wrong. Water is perfect temperature allowing swimming throughout the entire day with a morning dip highly recommended.

    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 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 accommodation was fabulous. Very clean, fresh and tidy with plenty of room. Garden, pool and BBQ areas were very well kept and clean. I would highly recommend this place and will be returning myself again. At first glance when arriving, I was thinking it wasn't what I was expecting but I was very happy once inside. Very close to the beach, Arcadia pub, Stagedoor restaurant (also highly recommended), news agency and bus services.

    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.

    We had a no fuss arrival at our accommodation which was very clean and comfy. We were pleasantly surprised that our 2 bedroom apartment was a whole house! Our house was located in a very relaxed part of the island close to some great cafes and the Arcadia Beach Hotel which has great meals and fun entertainment - trivia night on Thursday. Our hostess Roxanne was wonderful and really looked out for our arrival.

    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.

    Water pressure from the shower was fantastic after a day in the island sun and ocean was like a massage. The darkness at night was like being in a cave. Close to Alma bay and Arcadia village for all our leisure and dining requirements

    We stayed in Room 19. This was our 4th stay at Arcadia and we noticed the little improvements since the new owners took over like bed side tables, microwave and toaster. We love staying here as it is central.
