It was a very quiet and safe location, the apartment was spacious. There was potable water in jugs in the fridge which was a very nice touch as the tap water on magnetic Island has a strong taste when not very cold. The location of the room was OK if you don't mind walking a bit or have a car. It's about a 30 min walk from the ferry and 15 min walk from nearest restaurants. The bus stop was right out front which was very convenient.

This was a lovely apartment. The surroundings were so pretty and full of birds. Communication was great from start to finish and we were greeted and helped to find our place. The cute sign personally welcoming us was such a nice touch! The kitchen area and bathroom had everything we could need and were very clean. WiFi worked well. The hosts were gracious to allow us to leave our things on the porch after checkout. Great location on beautiful Maggie’s island. We’d highly recommend this apartment.

We had a very memorable stay at this place, which we could truly call our home. The facilities, amenities, location and design of the house is beyond exceptional and a delight to enjoy.
This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Thoughtful supply of so many inclusions to make the stay comfortable. Colour coded towels, ample kitchen and laundry supplies, shopping bag etc. made our stay a luxury. Simone's responsiveness to the issues/concerns/our needs was very much appreciated.

Loved the location. Close to local shops. Our favourite eating place was Scallywags- excellent food and friendly, efficient staff and less than 10 minutes walk away. Close to the beach. Close to the ferry terminus. If you haven't got a car, the bus service is very convenient

Lots of wonderful places to eat and drink, a few boutique stores and Vinnies, for those forgotten items!! The beach was fantastic, with a snorkel trail to do and a walk to a beach bar serving fantastic food.

Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island.
Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island. Two big developments and several small apartment cluster. An excellent if expensive IGA and lots of restaurants etc. The amazing bus service joining all the main villages starts and stops at Ferry Terminal at Nelly Bay. Would have loved to have explored much more.

Nelly Bay was good as a base; walking distance to the ferry and serviced by 2 supermarkets. A good bus service on the island but overtaxed by the number of people.
other "villiages" did not have the supermarkets so you were purchasing takeaway or resturant food which was more expensive.
Yes; we could have gone on more walks, or snorkled or maybe taken a cruise; but overall it was a limited holiday.
It was a very quiet and safe location, the apartment was spacious. There was potable water in jugs in the fridge which was a very nice touch as the tap water on magnetic Island has a strong taste when not very cold. The location of the room was OK if you don't mind walking a bit or have a car. It's about a 30 min walk from the ferry and 15 min walk from nearest restaurants. The bus stop was right out front which was very convenient.
We really liked the situation, with each unit being fairly private, and the facilities on-site were great. It was quiet, and very convenient for catching the bus, also walkable from the ferry terminal at Nelly Bay. The staff were very helpful with lots of suggestions for things to do while we were there. We would definitely consider staying there again if we were to visit Magnetic Island again.
Very practical cottages to spend few days on the island. It was clean and comfortable with A/C and all other fit outs. Good location opposite a bus stop and walking distance from the ferry. Close to a supermarket, a bottle shop, few coffee shops.. Quiet and peaceful.
Good communication with the owners, left alone to enjoy the holiday. Reasonable pricing.
Balcony was a good view but felt like part of the room. Was woken at 5.30 am by alarms and an evacuation message for over 10 minutes. Then dismissed as a false alarm. Then the fire brigade attended. Fully dressed and unable to sleep after that before a 5 1/2 hour drive so not good. Magnetic Island however is beautiful. Horshoe Bay is beautiful too.
Magnetic Island itself was amazing! And the room was OK (just OK though) nothing spectacular. View was nice and the room has a blender which meant we could make cocktails in the room for sunset.
I would suggest using the local buses to get around as they are cheap, clean, reliable and run until late at night. Get an all day ticket and go exploring!
The rooms were very spacious, and had all we needed. The gardens and pool area were gorgeous. It was very quiet and close to the beach. Staff was fantastic and we enjoyed our relaxing Island stay a lot. We came in July and mainly explored the island on foot. A bus stop is conveniently close to the hotel.
The accommodation for perfect for our needs as a young family. It was very clean and had all the facilities we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable beach holiday stay. The host was available to answer our questions promptly. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage to others.
Great location on Magnetic Island. Very close to ferry terminal & bus stop. Lovely 2 bedroom apartment, good to have 2 bathrooms & beautiful open living/kitchen area which opens up onto the balcony. Great communication with our hosts & the staff at the resort were lovely.
Great location, really lovely hosts - offered to drive us from the ferry to the house for free. Beautiful villas, gorgeous surroundings, comfy beds. Was lovely to have our own BBQ. Pool area is very pretty, and access to Nelly Bay beach is perfect. Very quiet and peaceful.
Very nice having a 'home' feeling while holidaying on Magnet Island. Explored all day and came back to chilling on the couch in comfort. Even the ability to was our clothes was a very unique advantage.
Kate, the hostess, was very friendly and made our stay comfortable.
Next to a beautiful beach, looks like a resort.
The stuff were very nice and helpful. The prices at the bar are good and the food is good.
They have parties and game nights.
Highly recommended place to stay in magnetic island
Was a home away from home for a short stay.. but on an island on holiday! Had everything needed and more. Appreciated the thought put in to this by the owners. Very comfortable and clean.
Pool at this resort wonderful.
Great location, close to shops, cafes & ferry terminal. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. private patio surrounded by nice gardens. Bus stop directly out front to travel around the rest of Magnetic Island.
The waterfront location is spectacular! Close to the beach, shops (walking distance) and a few nice local restaurants. The place would happily suit a family for a very affordable holiday.
I liked the style and furnishing and all of the touches. There was everything that you could need and more! Nice and airy throughout and well located in nelly bay.
