We enjoyed our stay at the property, it was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The property ground were beautiful and well-maintained. The pool was lovely too. Be aware that there is no wifi in the guest rooms and you can only use Wifi in the common room. The common room is comfortable with couches but it gets very hot as there is no aircon. Staff were receptive and accommodating to our late check in.

Island Leisure Resort is a great place to stay when visiting Maggie! No fuss, clean and tidy apartments with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The pool is wonderful, my son loved the games room and the staff are so friendly and helped out with all my questions. There are places to eat nearby, however I would recommend booking in advance to ensure a spot. The Foodworks is overpriced and not great quality, grab your supplies at the Ferry Terminal's IGA if you can. Overall, a lovely place to stay at Island Leisure Resort!

En perle på magnetic island

Meget venlig og hjælpsom personale. Et lille paradis med gå afstand til indkøb, strand og havn. Roligt resorts med masser af grønt og en lækker pool. Kan varmt anbefale det og kommer gerne tilbage.
