The Space:
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.

Wonderful

It was a very good location for us because we like swimming
The unit was a good size and well presented but needed some drawers or shelves. We enjoyed many good walks. Cleaning staff were very pleasant and the office staff very helpful.
Perhaps some screening vegetation (not too tall) out the front would provide a bit of privacy.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you.

Thank you for the excellent rating, Maree. It means a lot and is the best thing we can hope for. We value your feedback and we will make sure to share it with the appropriate team. Until next time!
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.
