Really wish we stayed more than one night. She picked us up and dropped us off from the ferry terminal which was so kind and showed us around town. Pool was amazing and house was so cozy. Such a welcoming host!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a pool with a view, pool view and a patio, Windspray is set in Horseshoe Bay. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Horseshoe Bay Beach is less than 1 km away and Magnetic Island National Park is 7.9 km from the homestay. It was a very nice stay with super friendly hosts. The location was very quiet & peaceful. Yet close to beach & restaurants (approx 10 min walk). The outside, but covered, seating area & swimmingpool were wonderful. Seeing & hearing kookaburras, wallabies and koalas from the backyard. Catherine & David are very welcoming hosts who share their house, garden & pool with their guests. Accomodation was spacious with separate bathroom & toilet, very nice room with a good bed & outside seating & fully equipped kitchen. Great tips from the hosts for Magnetic Island! We absolutely enjoyed our stay and if we ever visit Magnetic Island again, we'll definitely stay here!

Set in Nelly Bay, Vintage Coral Pink provides accommodation with a saltwater pool. The air-conditioned accommodation is 600 metres from Nelly Bay Beach, and guests can benefit from on-site private parking and complimentary WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 7.2 km from Magnetic Island National Park. Magnetic Island is absolutely wonderful, its a tropical paradise. The Van at Vintage Coral Pink is by far the best way to enjoy it! Imagine going to sleep to the sounds crickets or waking up and going for a swim at Nelly Bay just a few minutes walk away. Its simply magical! The van itself is fully equipped with everything you need; stove top, A/C and even an air fryer. There's even hammocks outside and nice little couch to enjoy the stars at night! Kate is a wonderful person and host. She's extremely helpful and kind! I would defintely recommend Vintage Coral Pink and I look forward to visiting again!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, Salt Ayres is situated in Horseshoe Bay. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 1.3 km from Horseshoe Bay Beach. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. The home was nothing short of perfect. Designed beautifully with the most amazing outdoor entertainment and pool area. Multiple outdoor seating areas, bar fridge, outdoor TV, heaps of pool toys, mini golf putting, playground area for kids, and outdoor shower - perfect!! Inside, there wasn't a single thing we needed that the house didn't have. An abundance of plates/cups/cutlery/glasses/stubby holders/tea towels/garbage bags...you name it, it was there. The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had air conditioning. The upstairs area was kitted out to sleep up to 6 kids with the coolest kids zone, equipped with PS4, games, books and toys. The house was spotlessly clean and presented like a show home. It's set slightly of the beaten track meaning no noisy backpackers or traffic noise. You could technically walk to Horseshoe Bay as it's about 30 min walk, but easier by car. To top the experience off, there was a sleepy, dozy Koala living in the tree across from the house - how good!! Can't fault anything about this property and can't wait to come back.

Situated within 800 metres of Geoffrey Bay Beach and 8.4 km of Magnetic Island National Park in Nelly Bay, Magnetic Glamping provides accommodation with seating area. With pool views, this accommodation offers a patio and a swimming pool. The luxury tent also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. It was so easy to get to - a short walk from the ferry, and so easy access to the island bus service and walking tracks around Nelly Bay. The "tents" were extremely well appointed and comfortable!

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.4 km from Magnetic Island Marina. Thank you, Rod, for a great stay! The house was spotless, and your thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. There is so much made available to guests, such as snorkelling and picnic gear and a range of board games. We appreciate your quick responses and helpful recommendations of what's to do on Magnetic Island. The accommodation is only a very short walk from the Maggie Island Brewery, which was an awesome place to visit, with great food and beverage options right at your doorstep. We felt very comfortable during our stay and the layout is very private, Rod has done a great job 👏 We look forward to staying again one day soon.

Situated in Nelly Bay, Queen Safari Tent 10 offers beachfront accommodation 800 metres from Geoffrey Bay Beach and features various facilities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Rooms come with a balcony with pool views and free WiFi. Accommodation was good, well equipped and comfy. Unfortunately for us it was raining without pause for 2 days while we were there, so we didn't enjoy the island as planned. A good thing for the tent is that it can endure really big amounts of water. Water was everywhere except in the tent. It has even created a small lake around the tent base, but tents are on an elevated wooden base, so everything was ok.
