Lovely room, small but has most things for comfort. Could have another cereal bowl, only one for two guests. Like the opening screening back sliding door for fresh air. Comfy bed, plenty of pillows. Good online communication, helpful and prompt.

The unit/room itself was very run down. Bathroom had mould in shower, on walls as well as bathroom tiles. Vanity damaged. Curtains were dirty and sticky. Shouldn’t be “sold” as accommodation. Management needs to check in on facility, it’s very run down. Pool was good and an escape from our room.

We were here for a festival onsite so was very convenient. The bus stop was just outside and easy to get around the island. The grounds were nice. Our room needed some maintenance though. No shower screen door, drawers in wardrobe didn’t close. Staff were helpful but all reception was off site.

Resort was designed fantastically with salt pool, function room, tennis courts, manucured gardens with water featers, gazebos, viewing areas, nice grassed spaces. Beautiful location on side of a hill with views and bus stop right out front, but beware it is a slight walk from the wharf. Slightly past it's prime but the bones are solid and rooms at amaroo newly refurbished which means you get all the benefit for great price. Small downside is as the resort rooms are privately owned there is no resort/Amaroo reception. Amaroo is one operator of rooms within the resort but you won't check in with a person or have anywhere to securely leave your bags on your first or last day if that's an issue. Otherwise fantastic experience and would return.

I liked the room it was nice and clean, the property is nicely looked after, nice bonuses like hot water and good water pressure also convince with the restaurant near by. Exactly what you'd be looking for if wanting to stay at Maggie for a few nights, the pricing for what you get is also quite good compared to other places

Travelled with my young children, they absolutely loved the resort pool and all the birds and animal life! The staff were very friendly and had lots of helpful advice about what was open as we traveled just after new years. Highly recommend, lovely quiet place to stay.

Great pool area. Restaurant was closed while we were there, but was right next to pool and looked nice. Futon in room was only place to sit to watch tv and was very uncomfortable, but we weren't at Magnetic Island to watch tv anyway. Kitchen had full size fridge, kettle, toaster and electric frying pan and all the crockery you might need.

Standard quality. Good bed and shower. Kitchenette was basic but quite functional. Good pool and on-site restaurant has well priced food and drinks. Tiered arrangement of room blocks is good for privacy but can be hard to get luggage up the back if you are not capable - trollies are available.

Dont stay here unless you like walking a hill climb with your luggage as you cant park even close to your room. As for the restaurant it was very clean and looked nice but approximately half the items listed on the menu were unavailable, this was on a Saturday night, very very disappointing. Paid for 2 nights and left after 1, that tells the story.

Unfortunately the room didn’t live up to our expectation. Beds were uncomfortable, singles were basically unsleepable with springs and daughter slept on the sofa bed. Couch wasn’t suffice for a family and has a broken foot. Kitchen was well equipped. Property was well maintained and staff were helpful. They even moved rooms when the aircon was unusable in first room. Bird feeding at 5.30 was great. Pool area lovely. Playground good for kids. Enjoyed wallabies at night. Curlews like everywhere in North Queensland were noisy, but not as noisy as the party in the restaurant last night. Overall I was hoping for more, but it was suffice and one of the cheapest places on the island.

The gardens and grounds are lovely. The rooms weren’t serviced in the 7 days we stayed. They probably said that at booking but I didn’t pay attention. We did get fresh towels half way through. However no fresh sheets and the sheet we had was queen size for a king size bed so kept slipping and bunching up. Then we were next to what seemed like semi permanent neighbours with a baby who also argued late at night. Probably should have asked to move rooms. Good value and convenient location near the bus stop hut average otherwise
