Alma Bay Holiday Units could not be better named. They are so close to Magnetic Island's best beach that the kids will be happy to walk!
A comfortable 1 bedroom unit offering all you will need for a peaceful getaway on Magnetic Island.
This is a great group of units that could also enable an extended family to enjoy time together while still having their own space.
This location is a family favourite not only for the beach but also the easy stroll to feed the rock wallabies, snorkel the trail scattered with giant clams and the resting place on the "Molke" wreck on Geoffrey Bay. Of course we cannot forget the iconic weekly toad races at the Arcadia Hotel. All a stroll away from your door.
This unit will be made up to sleep 2 guests if you require additional bedding please let us know at the time of booking as additional charges will apply. The additional bed is in the living area.
Property specific note : Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian. Schoolies or School leavers will not be accepted.

The position at Arcadia right on Alma Bay. On three previous holidays at Magnetic Island we have stayed at Nelly Bay waterfront apartments. This time, being during school holidays, requiring us to walk back to Nelly Bay to catch the bus to Horeshoe Bay, the Forts, and Picnic Bay we found it more convenient to stay at Arcadia and enjoy a more traditional beach holiday. Sitting on the front porch enjoying drinks and nibbles, with visits from the Curlews, was particularly pleasant. The proximity to the Arcadia Village Hotel and the Bikini Tree bistro was a bonus. Would stay there again.

mixed review
the property was much older than expected - thought there were 2 bedrooms, but in fact a bed in living room was 2nd bedroom. Several cockroaches spotted. No air-conditioning in bedroom. No Wifi. Decor was very dated. Was close to beach so that was a plus. What we enjoyed most was the curlews coming to the glass door. That was very special.
