We had a very memorable stay at this place, which we could truly call our home. The facilities, amenities, location and design of the house is beyond exceptional and a delight to enjoy. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Thoughtful supply of so many inclusions to make the stay comfortable. Colour coded towels, ample kitchen and laundry supplies, shopping bag etc. made our stay a luxury. Simone's responsiveness to the issues/concerns/our needs was very much appreciated.

Loved the location. Close to local shops. Our favourite eating place was Scallywags- excellent food and friendly, efficient staff and less than 10 minutes walk away. Close to the beach. Close to the ferry terminus. If you haven't got a car, the bus service is very convenient

Lots of wonderful places to eat and drink, a few boutique stores and Vinnies, for those forgotten items!! The beach was fantastic, with a snorkel trail to do and a walk to a beach bar serving fantastic food.

Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island.
Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island. Two big developments and several small apartment cluster. An excellent if expensive IGA and lots of restaurants etc. The amazing bus service joining all the main villages starts and stops at Ferry Terminal at Nelly Bay. Would have loved to have explored much more.

Nelly Bay was good as a base; walking distance to the ferry and serviced by 2 supermarkets. A good bus service on the island but overtaxed by the number of people. other "villiages" did not have the supermarkets so you were purchasing takeaway or resturant food which was more expensive. Yes; we could have gone on more walks, or snorkled or maybe taken a cruise; but overall it was a limited holiday.

- From $46.49 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 589 reviewsGreat room (Lovers Bay), with a private balcony, very spacious with space for storage, a kitchen (with complimentary breakfast things in the room). We only stayed a weekend, but to be honest it would be easy to stay here a week. Central location on the island, directly across from the beach, walking distance to cafe, pub, rock wallabies, bus etc. The whole island is pretty accessible with bus that runs back and forward, so its hard to go wrong on Magnetic Island really!WendyAustralia
- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 59 reviewsIt was a very quiet and safe location, the apartment was spacious. There was potable water in jugs in the fridge which was a very nice touch as the tap water on magnetic Island has a strong taste when not very cold. The location of the room was OK if you don't mind walking a bit or have a car. It's about a 30 min walk from the ferry and 15 min walk from nearest restaurants. The bus stop was right out front which was very convenient.Seitz-ChernerUnited States of America

- 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 85 reviewsVery practical cottages to spend few days on the island. It was clean and comfortable with A/C and all other fit outs. Good location opposite a bus stop and walking distance from the ferry. Close to a supermarket, a bottle shop, few coffee shops.. Quiet and peaceful. Good communication with the owners, left alone to enjoy the holiday. Reasonable pricing.
MariuszAustralia - 7.2Scored 7.2GoodRated good· 6 reviewsMagnetic Island itself was amazing! And the room was OK (just OK though) nothing spectacular. View was nice and the room has a blender which meant we could make cocktails in the room for sunset. I would suggest using the local buses to get around as they are cheap, clean, reliable and run until late at night. Get an all day ticket and go exploring!GrantAustralia
