1 Nelly Bay Road, Nelly Bay, 4819 Nelly Bay, Australia – Great location - show map
Location, right on the beach. There was a bar so probably the most lively place on the island. Very pretty area, cottages, pool.
Czech RepublicFacilities were great ... seeing the sunrise in the morning was amazing
AustraliaAmazing Location with breath taking view of the ocean.We saw a wallaby in front of our room which was amazing. They have daily events at night which is great as you get to meet new people. Staff was great.
IndiaI really liked the bungalows, a different experience for once. Also the staff was very friendly and was organising events during the day and night, so there was always something fun to do. I loved the hammocks underneath the palm trees and constantly a view of the sea.
Czech RepublicBeautiful view and short walk from ferry. Cheap coffee.
AustraliaIt’s a fun place. There is the pool in front of the beach, which is nice. We all had dinner there, with happy hour, games and music. The cabins look pretty.
ArgentinaPrivileged seaview, friendly staff, great food and beverage, the structure has been split into a party zone and a calmer one, consequently the parties don't bother people willing to rest
FranceAwesome location right at the beach, friendly staff, fun game nights, awesome vibe. Best Burgers I have ever had! Our stay here made us fall in love with magnetic island and were already planning our next trip back
AustraliaStaff is amazing, very friendly and helpful! Awesome location on the beach, bar and pool! Had a great time!
