This was a lovely little studio with fully equipped kitchenette. The patio had table/chairs and was a good place to watch the local birds. While the double bed was a little small for us, the couch was effectively a single bed and very comfortable. The location was close to both walking tracks and great restaurants. We had a very comfortable stay!

The location was perfect - a short walk from Horseshoe bay. All of the staff were so friendly and obliging. We rented a family room which had more than enough space for 3 of us. It was very clean. We got many recommendations on activities and places to eat from the staff and locals. Magnetic island is small, so 3 nights was perfect for us. We loved the morning yoga with Ruth! 10/10 breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hostel and would return :)
