Like staying with family, Phil was very helpful in telling us about local spots to go.

Slorach Australia

Philip is an amazing host, who even shows you around and tells you about the best spots Breakfast is super healthy and delicious with all you can ask for - fresh fruit salad , cereals, cold cuts and even fresh eggs from the chucks running around

Nina Australia

Phil was great - super caring & really made an effort to make sure you had the best possible time. Real extra-mile type of a host! Beautiful spot with amazing wildlife on your doorstep & delicious breakfast at a time of your choosing each morning.

Anna Australia

Bed was very comfortable, the room and bathroom were very clean and the breakfast was substantial and delicious. Philip was an amazing host. Was picked up at the ferry and then taken to see the rock wallabies on the way back to the property, which was a really nice and welcoming touch. He is very knowledgeable about the island and gave really great suggestions of where to go, what to do and the best times of the day to do it.

Dolores Australia

We had a lovely stay at Magnetic Island B and B. Philip our host went to great lengths to do everything possible for us and make us feel at home. Lovely, quiet, relaxed bushland setting with lots of space and privacy. Amazing breakfasts and so many wonderful things to do around the island. I highly recommend Philip's place and would definitely like to visit again.

Simon Australia

Phillip was an excellent host who provided many options to do and see. His breakfast was to die for and the location was perfect. You cannot find a better host or location

Thomas Australia

Phil, the host has gone out of his way to consider our needs , lovely rooms clean premises, natural environs - which is what Magnetic Island is all about. Phil served up a fantastic breakfast and even made us cappuccinos to start the day. he was able to consider our personal situations and guide us to attractions that really suited our needs . Though not on the beach it’s not far down the road and well located to some of the islands main attractions .

If your after the fast life and have an unlimited budget then we're probably not for you. Magnetic Island Bed and Breakfast is located a short walk from Horseshoe Bay set among tropical gardens at the base of the mountain. An abundance of wildlife walks and flies though the gardens. Griffin the family dog roams freely as do the chickens which provide us daily with fresh eggs for your breakfast. If only had one word for the property I would use the word "Relaxing". It's not only the way we like it but our guests too. Whilst all the bays on the island are beautiful Horseshoe Bay offers the advantages of a hotel, restaurants, convenience store as well as the important water sports. Whether you like kayaking, paddle boards, swimming, fishing or even horse riding you can find it all at Horseshoe Bay. Many of the beautiful walking tracks also start and finish at the bay. On the last Sunday of each month you will find The Horseshoe Bay Market by the beach where you can grab something to eat and drink, a relaxing massage or that special souvenir. So if your interested in taking a holiday from your holiday, a place to unwind and relax then we're meant for you.
Horseshoe Bay has a swimming net for the stinger season which is from November through to end April. It also has fun water activities for the children such as paddle boats, tube rides, canoe hire and jet ski hire. There are plenty of pretty walks - some easy and others testing but all are interesting. There are free BBQ's on all the Bays which are cleaned every morning and it is a wonderful chance to cook lunch or dinner right on the beach under the palm trees.
