BENEFITS FOR FAMILIES
The island offers many wholesome family activities without spending lots of money:
1. Fishing from Picnic Bay Jetty. Picnic Bay jetty is the retired ferry terminal for the island. Abounding with coral and deep enough for pelagic fish to visit, the Picnic Bay jetty is a wonderful place to take the kids fishing.
2. Playground, Stinger Net and Family Restaurants. Picnic Bay has it all, the infrastructure that came with once being the ferry terminal! A mall and children’s playground are within a safe beach side mall environment. Adjacent to the Jetty is the Picnic Bay surf life saving club and during summer, a safe swimming area is provided with a stinger net.
3. Walking Tracks and Nature are very prolific in Picnic Bay. Picnic Bay has an amazing abundance of bird life from Ospreys and Hawks to the friendly and very approachable Lorikeets and the shy and statuesque Curlews. Koalas are in their element on Maggie Island and there are over 28km of well kept walking tracks throughout the 80% of the island which remains national park.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "I went holidaying with my my brother and his wife that came to from Ukraine for a holiday. They were in ore. They absolutely loved the accommodation and the island and so did I. It was so cosy and unique and comfortable that I would come back any day. I have recommended your place to a lot of my friends. We very much enjoyed our holiday and would come back without a doubt. Thank you very much for everything "

  • "Ascot Cottage exceeded all our expectations. We have stayed at a number of holiday homes but this was truly the best. We loved the house, the garden was spectacular, the birds incredible, the aspect of the dappled morning sunlight through the tropical garden into the bedroom was just gorgeous. The amenities were great and the location of the cottage just a short pleasant stroll from Picnic Bay beach and the bus etc terrific. We have been to Maggie twice now and will hopefully get back again next year. We just hope Ascot Cottage is still available. The weather in June was 27 everyday and beautiful sunshine. So coming from cold and wet Adelaide to this tropical island in winter was perfect. We swam and snorkelled most days and really soaked up the island life. West Point at sunset is well worth the long trip on a pot holed road for the light at the end! A stunning and relaxed holiday. (We hope we havent let the cat out of the bag!) 5/5 Martina and Steve of Adelaide "

  • "Had a fantastic time. The cottage is gorgeous. Had frequent visits fron the resident possum. Saw Koalas in the wild on the way up to 'Forts"rock, Wallabys and lots of beautiful birds. Best place to stay on the island is here."

  • "Lovely spacious cottage with welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by tranquil garden makes you feel you are in an oasis. Very comfortable sleeping arrangements, well equiped cottage with every thing we needed. Maybe an extension cord for workaholocs to plug in their laptop would be the only addition! We stayed 3 days but could have done with 10 to really chill out & enjoy. Highly recommended."

  • "We had a wonderful relaxing stay in your beautiful cottage. I love the gardens and the veranda, a great place to sit and read. Everything was there for our stay. Last night we saw a possum with a baby on it's back while having a BBQ. Thanks for everything."

  • "A beautifully situated cottage with glorious gardens and wonderful local wildlife. We were visited by possums, many types of birds and lovely frogs. Our family from New Zealand loved the tropical, relaxed environment and close proximity to the beach. We will be back !!"

  • "We had a wonderful time in the Ascot lodge and would recommend it to all. From the time we arrived till when we left it was like some one had turned a switch and we were completely relaxed and comfortable. The wonderful cottage with its early history and amazing tropical gardens made for an ideal location to just catch your breath and read a book or plan day outing to different locations on Magnetic island. The high light was the sun sets on West point. Time went too quickly but we will be back soon. "
