Magnetic Island Adventure Holidays

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.

Pros: Beautiful spot to stay and so accessible from the ferry over to magnetic island. Handy if you don’t want to rent a car on the island as the ferry is 2 min walk as is the bus stop which takes you to the main spots on the island. Also IGA and bottle shop a stones throw away. Apartment is spacious but isn’t quite like the photos, definitely more dated than the pics! In need of some TLC Pools are a lovely perk to staying here! Especially having 4 pools so I’d imagine they don’t get too busy. Rock wallabies easily sighted within the complex too 😻 Air con big bonus Cons: Apartment was okay equipped but a few things missing that would be ideal for a short term stay, and it wasn’t actually that clean. The showers were really grubby and hadn’t been properly cleaned. When we called to reception they had already closed, so we left a voicemail but didn’t hear back from them the following day.. Wine glasses had lipstick marks on them. Few things in the kitchen that were missing, eg olive oil etc, people coming for a weekend/short stay wouldn’t bring these with them nor would buy them from the shop.. No duvets for the bed even though there’s air con? There was a queen single duvet in the wardrobe but no sheet/cover provided for it? When we asked for these, they gave us just a spare sheet (not one you can put a duvet IN) Leather sofa in Australia I’ll never understand. Simple solution, provide a throw

We were given a room with a view of the car park. It was particularly ugly and not shown in the photos before booking. When we complained we were upgraded and it was perfect. No fuss at all.

Love the view from the huts in the morning
