The halt is situated behind the Ronaldsway Industrial Estate beside the Silverburn River at the midway point between the stations at Ballasalla and Castletown.

On the west side of the halt is a large field known as the Great Meadow which was once a horse racing track and later played host to the island's annual southern agricultural show; there were special trains for both these events.

Because of the short walk from the airport, air passengers leave and board trains here; it is also a popular drop-off spot for walkers, being close to the Millennium Way footpath established in 1979.

When bilingual Manx/English nameboards were introduced on the line beginning in 2008, a replacement running-in board was added showing the Manx Gaelic name of Staad Roonysvie and is still in place today with some variation in styling appearing from 2022.

Although closed during the pandemic with there being no commercial flights for a period, the signs remained in place with closure notices added.
