Unfortunately, my stay was short lived but I was thankful for the warm, friendly and helpful hosts- Penny and Kris. They were very welcoming and made you feel right at home. I stayed in the Florence Bay room, and the Guest House was kept so clean and was very well maintained. The Island was so pretty and the weather was... More

A friend and I stayed on the island for one night over an extended weekend up north and had a fabulous time. Kris is a great 'first impression' when she picks you up from the ferry wharf, then Kerry continues the warm welcome, showing you around the guesthouse and then to your room (which was completely spotless). The front deck... More

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights in one of the Queen Safari tents. We had such a good time. Maggie Island is beatiful and our stay was made more special by the very friendly and helpful management (Kris and Penny). The tent was good value, well kept and with a comfy bed. Nice atmosphere for having a couple... More

Stayed with 2 friends for a concert, and couldn't be happier. Beautiful rooms, relaxed and funny owners, clean, well maintained. Would definitely go back.

Thanks for the lovely comments Daniel. It's great to know you all had a great time. Although it was easy to tell by the singing coming from the Fishermans hut. The weather was perfect for the music festival over that long weekend. We look forward to seeing you all back in Paradise soon :) Penny and Kris More

My husband & I had a lovely stay at the Guest House! Kris & Penny were approachable and so friendly. 'Nelly Bay' room and shared bathroom spotlessly clean & always available. Renting the 4WD Sierra from here was convenient & easy. Than you Kris & Penny for a great easter & much needed break :) Loved our stay & we'll... More

I stayed in this place for 2 nights and wish I was staying longer. Very friendly crowd and amazing owners. If you need an island getaway, and a relaxing place to stay, Arcadia beach house is a great choice. Walking distance to Alma beach that is supposed to be free from stingers. Otherwise rent a scooter; i found it to... More

This is such a lovely place and the safari tents are such a gorgeous idea, pity that the people that run it are so horrible. We got woken up at 7am on the first morning of our stay by someone using a power drill right next to our tent. When we went to see what was happening and ask if... More

I liked this place so much I extended my stay. Well looked after by Chris and Penny, the guest house provides spotless accommodation across the road to a gorgeous beach. My double room "Joyce Bay" was clean, quiet and spacious, with shared access to a shiny clean bathroom. Everything is nearby, yet you feel away from it all. It's an... More

We stayed at Arcadia Beach with our two year old twins - our first holiday with them and certainly first time flying. Arcadia Beach is a delightful, laid-back place where the owners (who were in residence while undertaking an upgrade of the facilities) are genuine hosts. Craig cooked pizza and a barbie for us and we enjoyed a drink or... More

My fiancee and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing get-away and this place definitely fit the bill. We stayed in one of their safari tents, which was very reasonably priced. They even offer free pick-up and drop-off from the ferry terminal. Russell and Bernadette run the guest house and they were very personable and accommodating. They graciously set aside... More
