Just 15 minutes walk from the ferry. Close proximity to the gym, car rental place and 10 mins from Nomads hostel (if you want to drink at night)
We’ve been travelling 4 months and this was the most, if not one of the most comfortable stays we have had. It was very homely, and plenty of space.
We met the owner briefly one day and he was very friendly too.
Highly recommend. More so for couples
Thanks for having us!

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.
Liz has done a great job creating a very personal space to relax and enjoy the island. Plenty of effort has gone into making the space welcoming for guests. Many thoughtful small touches, generous breakfast options and tasteful furnishings help to make you feel instantly at home. Liz was easy to contact and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend this as an option when visiting Magnetic Island.
The location was ideal, quiet, easy access to all required services,
Liked grassed area outside patio, gate to pool,
Decor was nice, main bed very comfortable,
We appreciated dishwasher and washing machine detergent, as well as bin liners.
Aircon was effective, kitchen set up with all necessary equipment for holiday needs, full size fridge was important.
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.
Ian was very friendly and full of knowledge although a very busy man with it being school holidays. Seems he needed more help. The front deck area was a nice spot to sit for breakfast. Location was fantastic, walk to Alma bay, bus stop close by to get around the island. Nice beach across the road to walk and enjoy. Lovely walk into nelly bay also.
The location and views were absolutely perfect and amazing. Restaurants and shops were a short walk away and having a pool downstairs was great. The apartment was airy and spacious with comfortable furniture throughout. It was a very relaxing place to stay with plenty of space for family games and meals. We had a great holiday together!
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, 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.
Good location and nice bar area, affordable accommodation for Magnetic Island. Big kitchen, good showers. Good WiFi. Bus stops in front of hostel. Baggage storage facilities for early arrival, late departure. Did not eat in the bar, but food looked good.
I loved that the host took the time to create a welcome home sign. It was a personal touch that I will never forget. They were so incredibly friendly and I would highly recommend staying there. I would 100% stay there on my next trip to Magnetic Island.
this is THE place to stay on Magnetic Island, amazing front desk staff and reservations team, fantastic views of the marina, great pool, absolutely divine. it was my 30th birthday and they went above and beyond to make sure I had the best time
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
