I came to Magnetic Island for 4 nights 24 years ago. It's definitely magnetic and despite having to leave for work a couple of times in the early days, I found a way to live here forever. I live and work on Maggie and love the relaxed outdoor lifestyle. People sometimes ask if I get bored - never! There's so much more to do than in a city - even the same beautiful walking trail presents different views and experiences every time. There's still things I want to do that I haven't got round to, stand-up paddle boarding is next for me! I love meeting people who are taking their first trip to the island and experiencing just how much it offers, the secret is getting out as the island gets busier, yet you can still go to a stunning deserted beach and see nobody else there, no wonder it's magnetic! I am never far away and am available on my mobile to assist with any questions or queries that you have.

Please note that there are three units behind the house. We are careful to choose whom we accommodate to avoid disruption between the guests in the house and the residents in the units behind. The tenants in the units are quiet individuals who will cause you no bother. We would appreciate if children staying in the house are not allowed to roam around the units. The black washing machine near the external bathroom is for the use of house guests as is the washing line in the games room area. There is a clothes dryer in the old laundry off the 4th bedroom. House guests have exclusive use of the shower and toilet in the pool area and the undercover games area next to the pool.

Arcadia is a village-like leafy suburb with a few cafes, shops and pub, as well as the beautiful Alma Bay and also Geoffrey Bay. There is a dive shop where you can also hire snorkelling gear. There are residential homes in the street and as such this is a no-party property and we would expect guests to respect the neighbourhood and take their fun inside after 10pm. There is a bus stop nearby on Hayles Avenue and the buses travel regularly in both directions to the ferry terminal, Picnic, Nelly and Horseshoe Bay. It's a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to Nelly Bay on the walkway over the hill to the IGA supermarket. Hire cars are available at the ferry terminal on arrival, although it is best to book in advance to avoid disappointment, especially during school holidays. Taxi 131924 also pick up from the ferry terminal. Bring your own car on the Magnetic Island Ferries Car Barge or take the Sealink passenger ferry
