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!

The room itself was clean, comfortable and well-equipped for our stay. The pool was inviting and much enjoyed. The view was spectacular, but why simply look at the ocean when you can cross the street and walk beside it on a clean, beautiful, uncrowded beach where we encountered only sea birds and a few friendly fellow beach walkers? Wow what a great place to stay!

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 of Rod's unit is great for the Picnic Beach area. The beach, restaurants, and pub are a short walk away. The golf course in town is very nice too. We had a fun game with Rod one afternoon.

Picnic Bay is in my opinion, the prettiest Bay on Magnetic Island. With buses running so regularly (50c fares; $1 for the day) you could hop on and travel to many other parts of the Island without any difficulty. The swimming enclosure at Picnic Bay is a popular spot for people to swim and the jetty, a very popular spot for visitors and locals to fish off. There are a number of restaurants as well and a Brewery that is a hit with locals of visitors. The Picnic Bay Hotel is large and has TAB facilities as well. We found the prices at the hotel were quite expensive for drinks and food. We bought a take away meal on leaving and it was large and very yummy.

Beautiful location, amazing swimming area sectioned off for safe beach swimming. Great restaurants, cafe and brewery. The pub is great for family lunch and dinners. The Italian Restaurant provides authentic Italian food which you can have bought into the brewery while tasting some of the local beers. The cafe does amazing coffee, breakfast and lunch with great service.

Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Quiet location Comfortable room King Louie (friendly dog) made sure we were always back safe and was just so cute. It’s really good to stay in Picnic Bay as it’s the start of the bus line so you can always get a seat on the bus. Make sure to bring food to the island as you’re a long way from the IGA (but there are some supplies for sale at the accommodation).
