Had a lovely stay at True North! Breakfast was delicious and room really nice. Deb was lovely!
Just as a side note- wifi only works intermittently and reception at the island is not great.

Very chill and good vibes, Louie was a perfect cutie and funny host! We loved them! ❤️ Room was clean and very comfortable with free towels, fridge and air conditioning.
Serenity enjoys a location in Picnic Bay, a 15-minute walk from Rocky Bay Beach and 0.9 miles from Nelly Bay Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.
A stunning bay/beach with netted swimming area. Some great cafes/bars, a beautiful art /craft gallery and the lady has lots of local knowledge about the local artists. There is a very relaxed vibe in Horseshoe Bay, not over commercialised like other areas of Magnetic Island. A little Gem.

Horseshoe bay is stunning great location, it has it all tranquility, stunning scenery. Local restaurant and bars serving quality food. Water sports available right on the beach. Lots of walks, a koala sanctuary it’s just great.

Horseshoe Bay was perfect for us.
Horseshoe Bay was perfect for us. If had a terrific mix of an unspoiled natural safe swimming beach with a great range of eateries, coffee shops and retail. There was also the wildlife park and plenty of awesome walks (butterfly walk and through national park). Everything felt in walking distance as well. We especially loved hanging out at sunset or talking some long walks. It wasn't too crowded and we really hope that vibe stays.

We loved it.
We loved it.
We stayed at Nelly Bay last year but Horseshoe Bay is so much better. Sails on Horseshoe Bay is ideally located and the managers were so friendly and informative.
The beach is just magic! We had read about stingers and we were a little wary but others were swimming (outside of the net) so we did too. No stingers.
There is a range of eateries down the street and its only about a 3 minutes walk.
Simply a perfect, restful location.
A special thanks to the new managers and we wish them well in this, their new endeavour.

Due to Co-vid Horseshoe bay lacked restaurant choice unless it was the weekend, which I totally understand.
The walk and trails are awesome. The south east trade winds are strong which makes Horseshoe bay a favourite anchorage for the sailing community... Because of this, the beach is a lot calmer than the southern end of the island..
The forts are a must to visit... Bring plenty of water and look out for the koala... plenty of them.

We enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay. Ate at Sandy's resteraunt and went on a 2 hour tour with Magnetic Jet Ski (leaves from the red shed) and it was fun and a bit rough. The whole family enjoyed this. Went looking for the butterflies. They were amazing but you have to shake the trees to get them flying. Only 10 minutes from our accommodation.Ask a local!
The owner Aly was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She picked us up from the bus stop and let us put our bags somewhere hours before check in so we were able to explore the island. She also gave us access to two bikes with a bike lock so we were able to cycle to horseshoe bay.
The accomodation is a short walk from the bus stop where you can access anywhere on the island for a cheap price.
I highly recommend the accomodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We absolutely loved having so many options for
breakfast. Jess being vego was very happy with the variety of choices. It was so nice to go and stay at an actual Bed and Breakfast, Airbnb has taken some of the charm away from many stays with self-serve breakfasts and often no interaction with the host. True North was a rare example of a true BnB, which was refreshing. The location was perfect, next to the Koala sanctuary and pub, and only a 5 minute walk from Horseshoe Bay. Would stay again.
Loved Selina, loved the cafe / bar common area, loved the dorm lodges which had a toilet and shower. Comfiest and nicest hostel I've stayed at for a while! A nice treat, great location too with beautiful sunsets and food/ drink/ hike options from Horseshoe Bay, plus regular bus available from right outside the Hostel. Also did candlelight yoga and a morning yoga session which I loved - other activities available too like pool tournaments, games etc. Would recommend staying here!
The private cabins were very comfortable and clean! Water and glases were provided in the fridge, decoration was nice, aircon worked perfectly for the first day, bathroom quite clean, big kitchen, big property so felt like a resort, good bar area and in the night we could see wallabies, bus to the ferry terminal directly in front off the hotel:)
Excellent location. 5min walk to Horseshoe Bay and bus stop in front of property.
Lots of wildlife. Wallabies hop around freely and you can usually see them easily at dusk/dawn.
Nice pool but not big enough or enough loungers for amount of guests.
I liked the cabin style dorm room, it was just too small for 8 people.
Beautiful house with lovely airy kitchen/living and undercover verandah for eating/relaxing. Lovely pool. Comfortable beds. Good location with nearby bus stop and short walk to Horseshoe Bay.
The kitchen had all the necessary equipment and the whole house was family friendly
We regularly visit Horseshoe Bay, and Sails has been our favourite place to stay for a long time. Great location opposite the beach, well maintained and well managed complex, the units are spacious and well appointed. Couldn't ask for better.
Very comfortable base for visiting the island with a great breakfast. Easy 10 minute walk to the Horseshoe Bay restaurants and great bus service for the rest of the island. We would definitely stay here again.
Located approx 400m to Horseshoe Bay. A frame hut clean & more than suitable. A definite back-backer vibe but even us 60 year olds enjoyed ourselves. Great pool & bar area where most people came for the wifi
Really liked this hostel, the facilities were good added bar & restaurant which I didn’t realise were there before my stay so that was really nice. Good location for horseshoe bay & bus stop right outside.
