The two double bedrooms feature satin bedcovers with views to the tropical, private garden. French doors lead onto the cool and welcoming veranda.

Cottage windows throughout capture the breeze and create a delightful place to enjoy.
Outdoors the large pergola area is quiet, peaceful and fully covered with outdoor setting, fan and BBQ. Enjoy the antics of our resident possum while testing your culinary skills. You may even spot a Koala during your stay!

"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."
Debbie

"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

"We all thoroughly fell in love with your beautiful Ascot Cottage, everything was just so comfortable and my hubby especially loved the stainless steel bench. We felt like it was our very own home and took the same pride in the cottage as we do in our own home. James my youngest absolutely loved all the resident animal life, especially the possums. Look forward to staying in the sweetest cottage on Magnetic Island again soon".
Ann, Jimmy, Jayden and James, September 2009

Locality

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.
