The room was perfect for a quick quiet escape but was amazed that kitchen utensils and stove was in the room. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool looked amazing but i didnt have time to use it. Staff were beyond friendly and easy going. They knew the island well and were eager to give reccomendations and support where they could!

Good value Self- contained units Magnetic Island
Rob and Jen, are the owners/managers and they live on the premises so immediately available. There are 12 units, all fully self-contained but if you need something extra they are pleased to get it. There’s a pool but the beach is a short walk away. A bus stop is nearby. It’s a the quieter side of the island but a couple of restaurants and a pub are nearby.
