The apartment is very close to the ferry terminal on Magnetic Island making it a very easy walk with luggage. The apartment is beautifully furnished with lots of home accessories to make it look very inviting. The towels were gorgeous as was the very comfortable bed. A supermarket is right next door along with car hire etc making the trip very easy to manage. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.

Deb was very welcoming and helpful at any time of my stay. The house is very confortable, the room is large, the bed is good, the private terrace very nice. The swimming pool, in the shade, is very very nice to refresh after a walk. I really liked the breakfast too.

It was a very nice stay with super friendly hosts. The location was very quiet & peaceful. Yet close to beach & restaurants (approx 10 min walk). The outside, but covered, seating area & swimmingpool were wonderful. Seeing & hearing kookaburras, wallabies and koalas from the backyard. Catherine & David are very welcoming hosts who share their house, garden & pool with their guests. Accomodation was spacious with separate bathroom & toilet, very nice room with a good bed & outside seating & fully equipped kitchen. Great tips from the hosts for Magnetic Island! We absolutely enjoyed our stay and if we ever visit Magnetic Island again, we'll definitely stay here!

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!

Loved the area.

Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

The beach at Picnic Bay is beautiful and even has a stinger net, so you can swim safely even during jellyfish season. You can also watch the stunning sunset from the jetty, with a beautiful backdrop.

Great location, hotel across road, never heard any noise from it, mall short walk away with a brewery, divine casual dining, pizza n pasta, and a place to enjoy breakfast and lunch, nice to sit and watch the water or after take a stroll down to netted swimming area, or along the jetty to fish. The resort is not large (thankfully) but well presented with a pool area, BBQ area. Also hires out vehicles. We have already booked to go back! Loved it!
