Pros:

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!

A great place to stay!
Pros:

We loved the architecture of Buree number 2. Clean,modern,with a dishwasher (always a bonus!). Loved our little patio,where we ate breakfast every morning. Beautifully landscaped. Rachel and Jenny were absolutely lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Eat at Saltwater next door to Foodworks. Delish!

Pros:

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.

Peaceful stay
Pros:

We had a warm welcome when we arrived and thr lady on reception gave us some great info about the island. We stayed in the superior Queen buree, it was decorated nicely and was spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. The grounds of the hotel are lovely and the pool was nice. We loved our outdoor seating area where we spent most mornings and evenings relaxing enjoying our meals where the resident curlew greeted every evening, what a lovely bird! It was nice and peaceful. The hotel is in a great location for exploring Maggie island and we absolutely loved our stay here on the island, I would recommend, thank you.
