Great location! Just around the corner from the beach and bus stop. Restaurants and the island brewery are down the street. Beautiful setting and very nice, clean room with all the amenities. Wonderful check-in! Both welcoming and lots of information about the island and things to do and see. A quiet little gem of a place!

We had such an amazing stay on Magnetic Island, and couldn’t have asked for a better place. The property is absolutely beautiful and the pool is stunning. Catherine and David were the best hosts, so friendly and welcoming. Catherine gave us some incredible recommendations for things to do and made sure we had the best time while we were there, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back!

It is in a central location near an excellent pub. With a couple of beaches east of Horeshoe Beach shut, the next best beach on the island, pretty Alka Bay, was a five-minute stroll away.

We really enjoyed our two night stay at Kismet Cottage. It had everything we needed for an easy, comfortable stay. Bed was very comfortable. An easy 5 min walk to the shops, bars and cafes on the beach front. Loved seeing the wallabies in the back yard!

The house was just stunning, really loved the decor, very nicely designed interior. Nice and quiet street, very clean, had everything we needed and lots of space for a family of 4. Walking distance to the best beach on the island. Friendly host. One of the best holiday rentals we have ever stayed in. Will visit again.

Right on the beach at Nelly bay, the facilities are awesome with the pool, bar and restaurant central to everything. The bus stop is just across the road, which gets you to all the best spots on the island.
