Arcadia Beach Guest House and Car Hire is located directly across from the beautiful Geoffrey Bay Marine Park hosting many varieties of marine life. It has wonderful snorkelling opportunities with the self-guided snorkel trail and Molke shipwreck at your doorstep. Stroll to the end of the bay to see the rock wallabies or take a bush walk to amazing lookouts and see koalas in their natural habitat.

Loads of info from Ian on what to do around the island, you can rent cars and snorkel gear. We were very pleasantly surprised by the tent, the property was across the road from a beautiful beach. Only 15 min walk from ferry port and lots of places to sit & chill in the evening. We also spotted parrots & possums during our stay which was very fun. Bus stops are very closed too, $4.80 for an all day pass was great.

    Nice and quiet hostel with great location. Close to bus stop but also walking distance to the rock wallabies and Nelly Bay (about 20 min walk). Room was big and clean with working AC. Bathrooms were clean.

    Comfortable room, set in beautiful tropical gardens. Quiet, great location with large pool, bus at door and all we needed for a relaxing, enjoyable stay. Our host Liz was most hospitable and generous with offers of lifts to various locales on the island, and great tips for places to hike, eat and explore.

    Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Check in was easy and the apartment was clean, quiet, confortable and had everything we needed. Absolutely loved staying at Jodie's place. She was a great host who was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend and will definitely be staying here again.

    A quaint and quirky old style guest house/hostel opposite the beach with ready access to transport, food and drinks. There are two kitchens and multiple lounge/dining areas with free coffee and tea. The manager is very kind and helpful with great tips on seeing some hidden spots, and offered free pickup and drop off to meet the ferry. They also hire small 4WDs, but the bus stops just up the street. I had a private room with a very comfortable bed.
