About this property
Alma Bay Holiday Unit 2
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.
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.

Nice
At the time of booking want much left on the island. Older style interior, a little pricey for age. Fridge old and working to capacity with some broken shelves. Unit has plenty of cooking/kitchen accessories. Bed nice and comfy. Very clean place. Overall enjoyed the time here.
