This property was very comfortable and filled with extras such as a coffee machine, pods, tea bags, milk and shower products. There was a tv and comfortable lounge area. You could use the washing machine and laundry detergent for free. There was plenty of space and somewhere to park your car. It has been the best place we have stayed traveling by far especially considering the price point. The host was so helpful and kind with recommendations. It was a true holiday destination. Picnic bay is a quiet area however it has a local brewery and Italian restaurant within walking distance. We hired a car across the road to explore the island but it is not necessary as the bus stop is nearby.

This property is in a great location for exploring the island. You can see rock wallabies in the rocks at the end of the beach and koalas on the Forts walk just up the road. The rooms are great, really clean and comfortable. The Bikini bar next door does great food, the smashed avo toast is a breakfast fave.

It was exceptional! Thank you so much for the staff that helped me figure out where the keys were! 😃 The Glamping tent and the space around is just so great, it has everything you need as if you were camping in nature! The bed was super comfortable with a lot of pillows, there is a small kitchen where you can prepare your meals, bathroom with hair drier, towels for the swimming pool, a balcony with chairs and a table. There is a swimming pool and a barbacue and the place is just very well located, 5min to the ferry and 5min to IGA supermarket by walk. Everything was so clean and tidy! Thank you!

Great location - kids playground right outside which was ideal for allowing parents to relax/get organised at the house whilst kids were playing. Bus stop right outside very handy too. Easy walk along the beach to Nomads for sundowner drinks! Layout of the house was also great for 2 families with all bedrooms upstairs - very easy having 4 kids sleep in the queen double bunk room too. Being right next to one of the main island wallaby hang outs was also a highlight for the kids and enabled easy morning and evening feeding sessions!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Magnetic Glamping and we would definitely stay here again. Checking in was a breeze, the rooms were very comfortable and tidy, and its location was nice and convenient, just a short walk from the ferry terminal and other shops.

    Right on the beach at Nelly bay, the facilities are awesome with the pool, bar and restaurant central to everything. The bus stop is just across the road, which gets you to all the best spots on the island.
