Arcadia Village Motel

Arcadia|2.01km from Aquasearch Aquarium
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!

Nomads Magnetic Island
3.8/546 Reviews
There is a feeling of cleanliness in the room. The staff had a very nice smile and was impressive. The location was excellent for sightseeing.
Island Leisure Resort
4.6/563 Reviews
What a great resort to stay, just been here for 2 weeks, and can’t speak highly enough of this place. Firstly the staff, attentive, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The superior villa, was very clean, comfortable and a home away from home. Pool area is spacious with a generous amount of recliners, chairs, BBQ area and plenty of shade. Recreation room had books, games, beach towels, pool table, ping pong table just to name a few. Adjoining laundry was very clean, with plenty of irons, boards, Airer’s and basket’s available. Machines and Dryers take $1 coins. The grounds are well presented and is a tropical oasis. The tennis court, which we did not use, is behind pool area. Our interactions with the staff was above and beyond our expectations. When my husband unfortunately turned ill and we needed to extend a few days, this was made possible for us. Paula very kindly made chicken soup, Rachel went to the chemist and even dropped of some lemonade. We found Island Leisure Resort ticked all our boxes, affordable, clean, close to beach, wallabies, eating out, bus stops and a 15 minute walk to the ferry terminal and Iga. We have even booked to come back next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday girls.

The hotel is located 20 meters from where the ferry leaves you from Townsville, so it is not necessary to have the car on the island, although if you bring it to the door of the hotel there is free parking for up to 3 days. The hotel is composed of several blocks, some with simple rooms, others with more or less large apartments. It has a giant pool. The access to the room is by stairs, there is the option of using an elevator, but it can catch you away and not avoid all the stairs, as in our case. Reception staff and lovely bar / restaurant employees.
