Best place to stay on Magnetic Island!

Had a private ”cabin” and it was absolutely amazing, loved staying there. Really cozy environment, great location close to the beach and the bus stop, and you get to see so much wildlife. Bathrooms/showers and the kitchen could use a renovation but works fine. Most of the staff were friendly as well.

Had a fantastic stay in a glamping tent. Could have had more bedding as it was a little cool at night. Facilities were great. Hired a car but there is a bus stop out the front. Great social area with pool table. Lots of wildlife around. Would stay there again.

Beautiful grounds, and we loved our cabin. It felt roomy and cozy at the same time. It was great having our own tea kettle, coffee and refrigerator. The staff were always available and we loved the option of coming down to the main area for coffee and/or breakfast, lunch, drinks, dinner etc. We loved the variety of travelers playing pool, cards, ping pong and chatting. Beautifully decrated with custom mural and tapestries.
