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!

We stayed here for four nights and we were absolutely delighted with everything about this property. The self contained units are clean and very comfortable. The resort has excellent facilities (swimming pool, games room, laundry, library, BBQ). The location is convenient to the ferry terminal, a grocery shop, a restaurant and a bottle shop. The staff are very friendly & helpful and I would highly recommend this property to you.
