Hotel berhampiran Alma Bay di Magnetic Island

From the minute I arrived I was made to feel incredibly welcome! Adam the manager made me feel immediately at home! My room was everything I needed for my 2 week stay. Clean and comfortable with comfortable bed with all the nessacary amnenties. Conveniently situated by rhe pool with beautiful views across the road to Geoffrey Bay and a short walk to Alma Bay which in my opinion is the best swimming beach on the island! Situated next door to the pub with great seating and a pool with a very extensive menu it was everything I needed! The bus stop was also a short walk away which was a good way to explore the rest of the island. Arcadia Hotel is also a good starting point for walks into the National Park and over the hill to Nelly Bay with stunning views! A perfect way to end the day is to walk across the road in the evening to the old wharf and see the Rock Wallabies that come out looking for food! Within days my room.became home and Adam made me feel like family. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure my stay was the best it could be! I cannot recommend Arcadia highly enough for the perfect place to stay and base yourself to explore the Island and come back to at end of day to relax on private balcony area looking out to sea! I've travelled extensively all over the world and stayed in many different places and Arcadia is up there for ticking every box you need for the perfect place to be! It was very hard to leave so I will definitely be back.! It really was my home away from home. Thank you Adam for your amazing hospitality. Magnetic Island is such a magical place ...and Arcadia Motel is the perfect place to stay and experience it!

I loved this place despite some downsides. It’s in the best area of the island, at walking distance from a stunning beach (Horseshoe bay). I booked it because I’m a digital nomad and Selinas are normally great because they offer a coworking space. The only issue is that I work European hours and I often finish at 9:00pm (as most of digital nomads I guess) but the kitchen closes at 09:00 and all the restaurants in the island close at 09:00pm too. The result is that during the week you cannot eat 😅 that’s not optimal. On top of that Wi-Fi stopped working for one whole evening and the following morning and I was stressing out because I had to send some urgent emails that could not be sent. For the record - there is not even phone signal so you cannot use data as a backup, you really need to rely on the Wi-Fi. Another flaw is that it’s too far away from everything, the only supermarket is 1hr walk (the bus runs only a few times a day) and they don’t even offer a scooter hire service (I had to get the bus and go to the other l’art of the island - it would be great if they organised something for guests). Nevertheless if you’re staying for the weekend it’s totally worth it. The staff is really nice, the restaurant offers good food and the place is just like paradise, it’s in the middle of the koala park. You are immersed by nature and it’s stunning. The dorms have very comfy beds and some have their own bathroom which is great. I am writing what to improve just because this place could be even better and has some room for improvement. But I highly recommend anyone to go (and I am already doing so)

Kakitangan semasa daftar masuk sangat baik. Malangnya, katil kami rosak dan merupakan perkara yang paling tidak selesa yang pernah saya alami. Kami menasihati penerimaan tetapi tiada apa yang dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan masalah itu

We spent two nights at the Palmer Collective as we drove to Townsville for the Cowboys v West Tigers game. The room was excellent and had everything required for a comfortable stay. The shower was great and air con worked as it should. The Palmer also has a laundry with washing and drying facilities, both machines take $1 and $2 coins. There are heaps of things to do in the South Townsville area with bars and restaurants and a short walk has you in the CBD. There is limited parking on site for such a large motel, however there is parking across the road. We would fully recommend this motel.

Really loved staying here. Room was very comfortable, cleanand spacious. We had a ground floor unit with a peak of the sea. It was very central to shops and restaurants and the waterfront and amazingly quiet. No oven but the cooking facilities were great. The staff could not have been more helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at many BnBs- this one is excellent. Deb was terrific giving advice even before we arrived, including not to waste money on car hire (the bus is excellent, $4.80 for unlimited trips in day, same price as return and they even dropped us off in front of accommodation). Bus stop is 1 min walk. Beach is 5 mins. Only 10 min on bus to nicer beach at Alma Bay. The rooms are very nice- very comfortable bed, good and quiet air conditioning, seperate toilet, ceiling fan, plenty of hot water, nice polished floor boards and a lovely private balcony. They are a good size, plus you have access to a large lounge room and kitchen, front deck and back deck (not shared with owners). There is a lovely pool area with deck chairs, palm fringed. You have a choice of 5 or 6 cooked breakfast each morning delivered to your door between 7-9am. Includes lovely cut fruit and yoghurt. We usually had the fruit for lunch. So it is a huge saving on food costs. We brought our own snorkel gear and enjoyed the surprisingly good coral close to beach at Arthur’s Bay (you can hire nearby). We enjoyed cocktails at Bungalow Bay next door. Food at Barefoot was excellent. Forts walk is a must do (5 min on bus). That is also the stop to walk 15-20 mins to Arthurs Bay. We stayed early November and no sign of stingers. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality Deb.

We had four bookings on the Friday evening, we arrived at 1:15pm, one rooms wasn’t clean which was okay as Check-In was 2pm. When I arrived back to the hotel a little after 3pm with my keys to the room, I went up and the room had not been cleaned. I went down to reception they did apologise and gave me another room key. A few staff members had called in sick, which is understandable at the post-Covid times. When we got to the the room it was run down and didn’t look like the photos at all. On our check out morning, the adjacent room, had obviously checked out early with housekeeping being in the room around 8am, making all sorts of noise and speaking really loudly, too bad if you wanted a sleep in. Our other friends had some issues too. They also had a weird cemetery photograph on the wall which seemed out of place. I was really hoping this would be a new place to stay as we are frequently in Townsville, next time let’s hope Rydges isn’t fully booked so we can stay there again.

On the spur of the moment we decided to stay overnight in Townsville. We looked at many places but really wanted something on The Strand with some views. We decided to check out Waters Edge on the Strand. Went in to see what was available and the lovely Michelle was happy to let me check the 1 bedroom unit out before we committed. It was pretty good but no balcony. Michelle had a studio up on the next level with a balcony but it overlooked the pool so we opted for the first choice. Honestly, the major appeal in choosing to stay was how fabulous, friendly and helpful Michelle was! The unit was nice, although a tad dated. It was obvious there had been some upgrades. The bed was comfortable and having a kitchen, washing machine and dryer was a plus. We enjoyed our stay so much we extended a 2nd night. Only minuses was no balcony, no washing powder and it was very bright at night with light coming through the curtains and the bedroom binds. Pluses - spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped, central, secure parking and great views. Photos online were accurate so you know what to expect. Would definitely stay again although a higher floor with balcony would be better and also block some of the street light brightness.
