The place was so clean! It felt so fancy and absolutely loved the plunge pool which also had a TV and mini fridge down stairs with it. The staff were so welcoming but also just gave us our space. Location was perfect, easy walk to restaurants and clothes shops, bottle shops and the beach. Close to the ferry terminal and bus stops to be able to access the whole island. The beds were comfortable! There were really no negatives, I can't wait to stay again!

Clean and nice small apartment with a comfortable bed. Internet worked well. Checkin was smooth, the keys had been left outside in a small number locked safe. Very responsive host, who even tipped us off about a koala that had been seen nearby on the same street the day earlier. It was still there :) At night, wallabees would hang out just outside the room + weird looking birds with long legs

I don’t even know where to begin! This was a charming little box with a very comfortable bed not too far from the terminal. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the IGA, fairly peaceful and pretty. The accommodation itself had everything you needed, a cute outdoor kitchen and amazing shower (it was winter on Maggie, enjoyed some hot showers in 13 degree nights!) I truly needed a relaxing retreat after working fairly hard and got absolutely everything I wanted and more. Can’t recommend enough - not an ultra luxurious stay with a private butler and masseuse, but a fantastic representation of island life, reconnecting with nature and living simply. Short walk to a beautiful beach, quiet neighbourhood, bus stop 3 minutes away to get you to all the cool spots on the island. Can’t wait to stay here again! Didn’t get to meet Himali and Nate (sorry if I spelled that wrong) but I’m sure they’re awesome, though I do have to say that while hands off self check in process was much needed and appreciated, I always felt like I could contact the hosts if I needed anything at all. 10/10 would recommend to someone who wants a simple, fuss free and low key/affordable option to spend some days on Maggie.

We had such a nice stay! The apartment was absolutely adorable and we were so sad that we only booked it for a night. We would always come back. Nate was really helpful, always easy to contact and very forthcoming. They stored our food in their fridge so it would not go bad on the day of our departure and he even gave us a lift to the ferry terminal. We felt at home from the very first second.

    A great location for visiting Magnetic Island.

    A great location for visiting Magnetic Island. Bakery was a gem and the cafe opposite the accommodation. The island bus was excellent costing $1 for travelling on it more than once during the day. Lots of great scenic walks.

    Nelly Bay is a beautiful, low-key, welcoming and relaxing place. Walking along the path through the marina was a favourite. We loved running and walking along the Gabul pathway with the view of Geoffory Bay at the top. Cafe Del Sol has amazing coffee and great, relaxed atmosphere - a great way to start the day. Buses were the best way to get around the island.

    We love all of Magnetic Island.

    We love all of Magnetic Island. Go to the toad races, Alma is the best beach to swim in. Eat at Thai again. Do the jet skis. Do a snorkel boat tour. Eat the crepes. SOS is great. IGA has everything you'll need. Sadly the scooters have changed brands and are no longer reliable, hopefully that changes. Magnetic taxis are great and reliable and the buses are easy. Go to the helped, there's heaps of rock wallabies there, take them some carrots and they'll eat them from your hand. They will let you pat them while eating. The pool at peppers is the best! Horseshoe Bay paddle boards and kayaks are a wonderful hour on the water. The owner is a great guy. The Sunday market is tired though and needs more stalls. The golf is great at picnic bay and barefoot social bowls on Tuesday is fun for all the family. If you want a beautiful relaxing holiday Go Magnetic Island. Recommend May to September.

    The shuttle buses around the island were ideal to get to the 4 main towns. Nelly bay has 2 supermarkets which is super handy staying there instead of travelling with your shopping on the buses. Beautiful main beach and close to see the rock wallabies.

    Nelly Bay is a great base, but you need to stay somewhere with a pool unless you have a car. Good to rent a car even for 24 hours as the swimming beaches are at Picnic Bay, Alma Bay and Horseshoe Bay. You can catch a public bus, but they run approximately hourly. We rented 12pm to 12pm which worked really well. The Sunday market at Horseshoe Bay had a great Thai food stall. Recommend Nourish in Horseshoe Bay for lunch or juice and great Indian Sr Lankan curries and Thai salads, Adele's cafe in Horseshoe Bay for Gelato, and Elsie in Picnic Bay is a must for dinner. Note that hire cars cannot go on certain roads so you won't be able to drive to West Point.

    Excellent location. Beautiful large swimming pool. Granddaughters aged 5 and 8 loved it especially with the blue lights at night. Spacious 3 bedroom unit with well stocked kitchen utensils. Large bath tub in main bathroom great for bubble baths.

    We loved everything about the property, it was a great location, lovely space, had everything we need including air con, perfect perfect stay for a couple or two friends staying on magnetic island.
