    Well equipped studio unit, very clean and nicely laid out to maximize the small space. Bed is large and comfortable, excellent shower pressure. Very private and quiet, just 50 steps to bus stop, 2 minute rice to the ferry terminal. Great...

    We loved the peace and privacy of the garden setting. The waterproof pergola beside the cabin offered a shady outdoor area to relax in. The location was perfect- close to shopping facilities, hire companies and public transport but in a quiet area.

    A wonderful space, extremely well appointed. The little things really made it. The space was so calm and relaxing, inside and out.

One well appointed self-serviced studio unit with double bed, ensuite bathroom, fully equipped kitchen/dining area, and sofa/TV section (TV is DVD player only, no antenna) Situated in a garden setting on tropical Magnetic Island, we are visited by a variety of local wild life such as Koala, tropical birds, butterflies, etc. We believe that the air conditioned studio has just about everything that you will need to enjoy your stay. The studio is close to all the transport hubs from Townsville and conveniently on the main Magnetic Island bus route. There is such a lot to enjoy on our home that is Magnetic Island from snorkeling and scuba, jet ski hire/tours, and pretty much everything in between! Horseshoe Bay is renowned as the "water sports hub" of The Rock (as many locals refer to the island).There are more than 20 beaches, a lot of which are only accessible by the sea, on which to relax and unwind. Fishing, boating, bush walks, the choices are yours to make, allow for 3 full days to explore it all! Car/scooter hire is readily available from several outlets. There is a variety of restaurants/cafes and venues for a more "party" atmosphere if that is what you are looking for. Please note, there is currently NO WiFi or connected TV available (it is a DVD player only)
We are often on hand to give advice when needed or to leave you to your own devices! As long term locals, with the knowledge that that entails, we hope to be able to point you in the right direction so that you can thoroughly enjoy your stay with us. We would recommend that you allow at least 3 full days on the Island to explore what it has to offer. We do prefer that guests can provide an Australian contactable phone number in order to be able to contact the guest when necessary, particularly prior to check in with any updates that might need to be sent.
Situated in Nelly Bay, central to the Island and on the local bus route, you will be able to easily access all that "The Rock" has to offer, from walking tracks, snorkeling and scuba, to water sports in Horseshoe Bay and the many diverse restaurants, cafes and bars that are available. Car/scooter/bike hire is readily available from several outlets. Snorkeling gear can be bought (e.g. Island Fever, Fish'nN'Fuel'n) or hired from several places.
