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.

The property is older with beautiful gardens. 15-20 minutes walk into town and regular buses that go all over the island. The fact the units have a kitchenette is great with an IGA close by.

The resort was hard to find as there were no signs to indicate that you were in the right place. reception was non-existent as it is now done remotely It was fortunate that I found a number to ring in my emails. The car park is a long way from the rooms. There were no clothes hanging rods in the cupbourd so had to hang on the curtain rod. The fridge was not working so our food went off. The vanity sink was blocked. We added a night and had to move to a studio which was much better.

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.

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

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.

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.
