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!

There are spots on the island you can only access via 4WD so I would recommend hiring a car. I hired a scooter which was great and so good on fuel, however they are very slow going up hills and cant get you everywhere.

Easy access to bus transport to other parts of the island.

Easy access to bus transport to other parts of the island. Walks in the National Parks were interesting and ranged from easy to slightly challenging. These walks can take you to some beautiful beaches.

The town has all sorts of amenities that you would need.

The town has all sorts of amenities that you would need. It is central to the island, so getting to the other towns and areas from there is very easy. There is a huge range of types of accommodations you can get for your stay; from high end water front resort to container homes to hostels. Being where the ferry drops you off at, it is also nice to not have to carry your bags around too far!

Magnetic Island is a fantastic location.

Magnetic Island is a fantastic location. Off the mainland and the busy city of Townsville. Great swimming and snorkeling. Various restaurants, pubs and eateries are all casual. Plenty of cars to rent. Lots of adventures, walks and beaches. Go out of stingers season - November to April.

Friendly people, particularly shop assistants, restaurant staff, cab drivers and bus drivers. Saltwater restaurant was excellent, with tables under the stars and efficient staff. The Boardwalk at Peppers was also excellent, the barramundi was delicious. I would recommend a visit to the Museum, which has historical information about the island, also handmade jewellery created by volunteers. The volunteers are also very knowledgeable about the Island's history.

Nelly Bay was beautiful but Magnetic Island was stunning and relaxing. We hiked to watch sunset, saw so much wildlife (a koala, echidna, wallaby, stingray, turtle) and the views and different beaches were all magnificent (Arcadia, Geoffrey Bay, Fort Walk, Nelly Bay). We took a car and it was the best decision as the bus service seemed to have quite a wait. Overall we loved Maggie Island, the getaway was just what I needed and I will definitely go back.

Location was great. Views magnificent. Very spacious. Had three different rooms. Kitchen is fully equipped. Next to the ferry station. Close to IGA. And my god, the biggest pool I've seen in my life. My toddler absolutely loved the holiday and the accommodation facilities and space helped make a great stay. Fantastic to walk around. Would love to visit again and stay here!

Kate was the best host you could hope for on Magnetic Island! We felt so welcome and Kate was able to offer loads of brilliant tips for enjoying our short time there. The accommodation was so beautiful and perfect for chilling out in after a busy day. Cannot recommend this spot enough!
