Kooyong Apartment 8

EmmaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay. The airbnb was spacious, clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The BBQ area was perfect for us and kept very clean. We were within a five minute walk to local amenities such as shops and pub. Alma Bay was just a couple of minutes walk from the airbnb where you could watch the sun rise every morning. Highly recommend staying here!

Magnetic Reef Apartment 4

Accomodation was clean, private, quiet, well-placed and a relatively short walk from Arcadia Beach, Arcadia Village Hotel, Bikini Tree Cafe, Stage Door Theatre Restaurant and the bus stop. Having a newer smart tv and wi-fi was a nice addition compared to most other accomodations on the island in our experience. Kylie was a friendly and responsive host.

Arcadia Beachfront Cottage

LeeWoodRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This Home is truely a home away from home. From the outside the home really gives you a beach hoilday. The house is old at heart with a modern touch. This is how i would explain this home . Then you enter the home with such a open, yet cosy feeling. Bed rooms are perfect size and space for the amount of bed provided. My kids were very empressed with the automatic blinds. Access to kayaks was amazing and being 3 houses down from the snokel hire was even more convenient. Further down the street is the local pub and swimming nets, convenient store. Honestly the location is perfect. Close to everthing. The beach is right across the road which is amazing watching the sunrise from front porch. Overall worth the stay.

The serene magnesium pool water is observed in shades of turquoise, reflecting sunlight. The surface appears calm and clear, highlighting the natural elements beneath. The surroundings suggest a peaceful outdoor environment, inviting relaxation and enjoyment.
