    Located in the picturesque and quiet haven of Picnic Bay, this classic older style Queenslander is ideal for an affordable and relaxing Maggie Island holiday.

    If you love a round or 2 of golf, the Magnetic Island Golf course is also a minute's walk from your holiday home.

    The perfect destination for families on a budget and looking for a traditional island holiday.

    * Living and Entertainment Space *
    This endearing holiday home has 2 bedrooms and a sleep out, with open plan lounge, kitchen and dining areas.

    There is air-conditioning in the bedrooms and living area plus ceiling fans throughout, and the traditional louvred windows provide beautiful flow-through breeze. Note, there are no insect screens at this property or bedroom doors. Privacy screens/curtains are available to close off rooms.

    A large, fully enclosed verandah incorporates a laundry area, BBQ, informal dining and undercover play area for the kids.

    * Location *
    A few minute's walk will take you to the beautiful Picnic Bay beach, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or exploring. Take a leisurely stroll along the jetty or throw in a line as the jetty is highly regarded as a top fishing location. There are two barbeque areas along the beachfront, a fully fenced adventure playground and a patrolled beach area on weekends and public holidays. Enjoy a wonderful meal at the Picnic Bay Hotel whilst taking in the views across the bay to Townsville. There is also a regular bus service which stops right outside the hotel.

    If you love a round or two of golf, the Magnetic Island Golf course is also a minute's walk from your holiday home.
