Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location opposite a bus stop so you can get around easily, lovely bar and pool area and we would recommend the animal tour to meet all of the cute animals at the hostel! The rooms are small but have all we needed including a fridge, and a good sized kitchen and eating area.

    Lovely location - close to Horseshoe Bay. This is definitely the best hostel option on the island. The private cabins are small but nicely furnished with a double bed, side tables and mini fridge.

    For a hostel, this is incredible! Absolutely loved our stay, the staff, facilities, cleanliness and vibes were spot on. It was in a great location, with a bus stop right out the front but also the beach in a walkable distance. The pool area was perfect to lounge at with a drink in hand.

    In my opinion Horseshoe Bay is the nicest part of the island and Selina is so close by. Lovely beach, good bus service and a couple of really nice cafes and restaurants on the sea front. Selina Magnetic Island itself is the best hostel I've stayed at anywhere in the world. Great facilities and rooms, brilliant setting, good food, great staff and activities on offer. Really enjoyed my time there and would return and recommend to anyone.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! The common area is amazing and there are some theme evenings like 70s or Salsa dance lessons. There was also a sunrise hike in the morning. It also feels more like a camping resort because of the tiny houses which are really nice and comfortable. Can definitely recommend it!
