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!

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!

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!
