Thanks for your review Yvette, we are glad that you enjoyed your visit.
We are waiting for advice from our cleaners regarding the extra bed linen requirements. Kind regards, Graeme & Maide
This was perfect for our family of 6. The location and setting are excellent. The house is warm and inviting, without being overly precious or sterile. The beds are comfy and the house is well stocked with everything you need and the things that you forgot you might want too. We had a great stay!
The house is in a great location within walking distance to beach. Kitchen is extremely well-appointed, with everything you need and more. Very clean and host was very accommodating.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. Graeme was extremely friendly and helpful, providing great tips for our visit. We especially loved the tropical forest surrounding the house, a true haven for diverse and fascinating birds and wildlife. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best place ever.!!!!!Superb location next to the park. Wallabies hopping by. A koala out for a stroll. Our own family of cockatoos on the porch. House superbly well equipped if we’re ever lucky enough to come back, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Thanks for your review Stephen, it sounds as though you got right into the spirit of Maggie Island and we are glad that you enjoyed yourselves at Avalon.
Loved our stay at Avalon at Arcadia. Fab home, magical setting with the creek beside the house flowing after recent rains. Perfect for a cool dip on a hot summer day.

Lovely quiet area in Acadia surrounded by bush. House was great. Host rang to let us know we could go in early on our first day and again on the last evening to let us know we could stay as long as we liked on the last day which was generous of him.

Well appointed holiday house. We come every year in the September holidays to Magnetic Island and have found this place as good as any other we have stayed at. Maggie is a favourite destination for our family and we love Alma Bay. Kids loved the birds.
