Our stay at the Bungalow Bay Koala Village was excellent. We arrived in the evening to be created by live music at the outdoor bar/cafe/pool/gathering area. The staff was super friendly. Our bungalow was very comfortable for our family of four and it was really fun to walk around the other bungalows and campground, which includes shady mature eucalyptus trees. The location is just two blocks from an ocean swimming area and a great breakfast place. We were just looking for a place to sleep on Magnetic Island, but the lodging ended up being one of the highlights.

It was an amazing stay in Nomads during the past 2 days. The staff is very kind and the venue is spectacular, in front of the sea with many facilities to relax and share the time with other people. I really recommend anyone this place for a vacation of magnetic Island.

All hostels in Horseshoe Bay

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location opposite a bus stop so you can get around easily, lovely bar and pool area and we would recommend the animal tour to meet all of the cute animals at the hostel! The rooms are small but have all we needed including a fridge, and a good sized kitchen and eating area.

    Lovely location - close to Horseshoe Bay. This is definitely the best hostel option on the island. The private cabins are small but nicely furnished with a double bed, side tables and mini fridge.

    For a hostel, this is incredible! Absolutely loved our stay, the staff, facilities, cleanliness and vibes were spot on. It was in a great location, with a bus stop right out the front but also the beach in a walkable distance. The pool area was perfect to lounge at with a drink in hand.

    In my opinion Horseshoe Bay is the nicest part of the island and Selina is so close by. Lovely beach, good bus service and a couple of really nice cafes and restaurants on the sea front. Selina Magnetic Island itself is the best hostel I've stayed at anywhere in the world. Great facilities and rooms, brilliant setting, good food, great staff and activities on offer. Really enjoyed my time there and would return and recommend to anyone.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! The common area is amazing and there are some theme evenings like 70s or Salsa dance lessons. There was also a sunrise hike in the morning. It also feels more like a camping resort because of the tiny houses which are really nice and comfortable. Can definitely recommend it!
