This is our go to place at Maggie. Located right next to the marina and supermarket. Views of the bay is absolutely stunning and the apartment is spacious with all the amenities of being home.
We really enjoyed our stay in a ocean view room at the Mecure - such a beautiful view of the water and rock wallabies
Stunning view of the ocean from the gym (very basic but adequate), pool & spa areas
Excellent location close to IGA

Positives -great location. Nice hot shower. Had a nice balcony. Washer and dryer is always helpful when away from home
Negatives -Room was very outdated and not overly clean. Tiles in the shower were mouldy and fridge and dishwasher had rust on the doors.
The bathroom is open so absolutely no privacy when showering.
We were 1 level above the carpark and it was quite loud

Conveniently located next to the Nelly Bay terminal, within walking distance to the bus, IGA, and a range of local eateries. Our apartment had a balcony with a lovely, sheltered view of Nelly Bay — perfect for relaxing or watching the rock wallabies being fed. While the apartment was comfortable, the room we stayed in was a little tired and outdated and would benefit from a refresh. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable base for exploring Magnetic Island.

We loved our stay here and the fact that we could choose between 4 swimming pools on location and rock wallabys are always around to watch, we really enjoyed our time. The unit was a great base for our family.

The room was clean with a lovely view however the oven did not work. It would be useful to request a second key as you need it to get in and out of the apartment complex. The furniture could use an update as the couch was torn.

Our room was 1304. Was expecting a small hotel style room but was fully equipped with kitchen, laundry washing machine and big bath tub. Beautiful views from veranda and 4 pools to choose from. Our other friends room next door was the same. Fantastic!. Only downside was our room was very musty and mouldy smelling and our friends washing machine filters were full of yuk. Great time there and will be back just not in room 1304.
