Room very clean with comfy bed and great shower so many positives, but my room was nothing like on the website. Very old. The QR scan on the mirror with motel details and breakfast orders didn’t work as I was wanting breakfast which had been advertised as available but unfortunately wasn’t. Very limited parking available. Overall for my brief stay it was good value for money very clean good shower an an aircon that works

The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.

Due to the aircon not working properly we did not have a comfortable stay. Due to the time of year it was so hot we had to open windows and have the ceiling fan on high so we could sleep. Additionally one of the power points in the bathroom was not working. Both issues were reported to management.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Magnetic Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With strict COVID-19 precautions in effect, travel looks a little different nowadays. These are some handy things to know before you head off to Magnetic Island:
  • Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
