"What a hidden treasure. After surfing the net one is always dubious about places no one knows anything about. But alas we will be sharing this secret cottage with all our friends and family. Thank you for the wonderful rest and rejuvenation."

"Seldom does reality outshine photos but on entering Ascot Cottage this was the case. Loved the kitchen. Finally got to work on a stainless steel bench top and loved it. BBQ area was delightful and we spent most of our time there. Enjoyed your little piece of peace."
Adrian & Beth 200m from beautiful Picnic Bay

Catch the Maggie Cat (fast Cat) in 25 minutes from Townsville's Sunferry Terminal or you can take your car over on the Fantasea Barge which will take approximately 45 minutes. The island has a great bus and taxi service. You can also hire a car, moke, jeep, moped or even a push bike all on the beautiful Maggie Island.

The island offers many wholesome family activities without spending lots of money and all within 200 metres of Ascot Cottage.

1. Fishing from Picnic Bay Jetty. Picnic Bay jetty is the retired ferry terminal for the island. Abounding with coral and deep enough for pelagic fish to visit, the Picnic Bay jetty is a wonderful place to take the kids fishing.
2. Playground, stinger net and family restaurants. Picnic Bay has it all, the infrastructure that came with once being the ferry terminal! A mall and children's playground are within a safe beach-side mall environment. Adjacent to the Jetty is the Picnic Bay surf life saving club and during summer, a safe swimming area is provided with a stinger net.
3. Walking Tracks are numerous in Picnic Bay. Picnic Bay has an amazing abundance of bird life from ospreys and hawks to the friendly and very approachable lorikeets and the shy and statuesque curlews. Koalas are in their element on Maggie Island and there are over 28km of well-kept walking tracks throughout the 80% of the island that remains national park.

On Maggie you can sail, sea kayak, snorkel over coral reefs, enjoy fishing charters, jetski hire and skydiving; learn to scuba dive, dive Yongala Wreck, golfing, wildlife park, horse ride along the beach, hire a boat and watch the sunset from beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Dine at some of the many restaurants, hire a moke, topless car, scooter or bike, vist the hilarious comedy cabaret dinner shows at The Stage Door or just lay back and relax at one of the many beaches that Maggie has to offer. Allow Ascot Cottage to lend a hand and help you slow down and let the stresses of life lighten.

Family-Friendly - Games, dvd's, friendly wildlife and tropical gardens for the children to explore. Enjoy a safe swim at the beach or take the kids fishing from the jetty.

Romantic Getaway - Take a romantic stroll, hand in hand, along our fabulous old wooden jetty and look back at the dazzling lights of Townsville or relax in your private pergola area.

Budget Conscious - Go golfing at Picnic Bay Golf Club. Enjoy fine food at local restaurants or cook up your own culinary delights while unwinding in your own private tropical gardens. Complete privacy without resort prices.

Gay and Lesbian - Be yourself, let everything go while feeling at ease and enjoying your own little piece of peace.

If you are looking for budget conscious accommodation for a romantic escape for two or a fun occasion away with family or friends, you will unearth the beauty and magic of Magnetic Island while enjoying the serenity of Ascot Cottage.

  Just loved Ascot Cottage, good location to the shops and pub and bus stop. Cottage itself was so cute and tastefully decorated and the little touches were gratefully accepted.

  We are so pleased that we picked ascot Cottage after looking at lots of accommodation on Magnetic Island. This place was perfect for the 3 of us! Loved the private feel about the place and the fact you can walk to the beach and a few shops, etc. Our 9 year old son loved the local wildlife. The very well equipped kitchen was fantastic. If we ever get chance to travel this way again we would return to Ascot. Many thanks!
