Perfectly located within walking distance of the ferry, bank and post office. 200m from supermarket, chemist, bottle shop, cafe and medical center. 300m from Mitre 10 and bus passes the premises which is excellent value and affordable rates. The island and resort is one we will certainly return to with the beach only 50m away and all of the attractions so close and easy to get to with buses only $1 all day.

Amazing stay. Rooms are amazing, the host/manager is lovely - so welcoming, helpful and informative. Location is great as you have a supermarket just round the corner, bus stop 200yds up the road connecting you to the key spots and you’re walking distance from Nelly Beach + ferry terminal. Pool, tennis courts, games room, board games - could go on. Great stay and deserved 5 stars.

First, it was my first time to Magnetic Island and I was unsure of where to stay on the island. I defaulted to this hotel as it had high customer ratings. Location: I ended up extending my stay so was able to stay on other parts of the island but my favorite was this one. Although in Nelly Bay, it is on such a quiet street across the bridge from the main town. It was literally a 3 min walk to a beautiful miles Long Beach. Also within a 7 min walk was a great coffee shop, restaurant and grocery store. Resort: I wouldn’t describe it as a luxury resort but that is why I LOVED it. It felt like family. It was very personalized, VERY CLEAN, and it had all the things you would need. I would rate it 10/10. It was nice to have a washing machine/dryer too. They had a pool table which was great.
