Location. Friendly Staff. Ammenties were clean and had all of ther requirements for our stay. Liked the bar fridge in the room. Enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. The bus stop is very close to get to other parts of the island.

Great location, really clean and updated room :-) Great camp kitchen facilities as well to be able to cook meals. The staff were all really lovely and personable! Would definitely go back and stay again!!

Sarah Australia

I enjoyed everything about it from our arrival to our departure. We arrived extra early and our room was ready so staff let us into our room. The staff are super great ! Friendly and helpful. Loved the facilities of the camp kitchen, awesome showers and toilets are always clean. Just super awesome ! We plan on coming back next year to camp as we stayed in the bungalow this time around as my darling and I had a little getaway without the kids.

Antonio Spain

Cool little hostel in Maggie Island. Nice venue with lots of backpackers, had a good pool and nice bar/restaurant.

Seth Canada

The “penthouse suite” only 2 of these rooms on the property, please do yourselves a favour and treat yourself to this room, just a perfect little hideaway. Best value for money too. We will definitely be coming back

Ryan Australia

Great location easy access to everything would highly recommend. Abundant wildlife and family friendly. Bus to get around the island right at the front door. Very short walk to the beach at Horseshoe bay and local restaurants.

Belinda Australia

The cabins were great, good bar area and well kept setting

Anonymous Australia

Lovely staff and facilities! Perfect location, easy to reach with bus and just a short walk to Horseshoe Bay. Cute bungalows for sleeping in, and the coffee in the morning was delicious!

Emma Sweden

Our stay at the Bungalow Bay Koala Village was excellent. We arrived in the evening to be created by live music at the outdoor bar/cafe/pool/gathering area. The staff was super friendly. Our bungalow was very comfortable for our family of four and it was really fun to walk around the other bungalows and campground, which includes shady mature eucalyptus trees. The location is just two blocks from an ocean swimming area and a great breakfast place. We were just looking for a place to sleep on Magnetic Island, but the lodging ended up being one of the highlights.
