The room was awesome, with a view on the pool and the ocean, it gave us the perfect relaxed holiday vibe. We even got a late check-out till 5 pm for free which resulted in a well needed hot shower after a sweaty walk to spot koala's nearby. Contact with Adam whent smoothless by sms and an envelop ready to pick up the key whenever we wanted.

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.

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 town has all sorts of amenities that you would need.

The town has all sorts of amenities that you would need. It is central to the island, so getting to the other towns and areas from there is very easy. There is a huge range of types of accommodations you can get for your stay; from high end water front resort to container homes to hostels. Being where the ferry drops you off at, it is also nice to not have to carry your bags around too far!

Magnetic Island is beautiful with bush trails to many beaches and vantage points. The flora is wonderfully diverse with giant banyan trees, tropical plants, vines and gum trees - wild koalas are easy to spot on some of the trails. The vibe is low key and nicely humble and it's very easy to get to via Townsville and a short ferry ride. You don't need a car as the bus runs regularly across the island to all the best places. There are also plenty of options for scooter and jeep hire.

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.

Arcadia is a great place to visit and to stay on Magnetic Island. The main beach, which is part of the Nature reserve, is lovely to walk around and also to see Rock Wallabies in the early evening. Alma Bay is particularly good for young children, with plenty of shade and grassy areas in addition to a small It's only a short walk in the the main centre at Nelly Beach, the Ferry Terminal and a well stocked supermarket and bottle shop.

Magnetic Island is a fantastic location.

Magnetic Island is a fantastic location. Off the mainland and the busy city of Townsville. Great swimming and snorkeling. Various restaurants, pubs and eateries are all casual. Plenty of cars to rent. Lots of adventures, walks and beaches. Go out of stingers season - November to April.

Of all the beautiful bays at Magnetic Island, Horseshoe Bay...

Of all the beautiful bays at Magnetic Island, Horseshoe Bay is by far the nicest one. It has great open views of the ocean, a long beach front with beautiful palms and trees providing the necessary shade, and a small but lively little boulevard with a well-assorted local Convenience Store, a few nice beachy shops and a good range of bars and restaurants that offer something for everyone. I specially recommend Barefoot Restaurant and Gallery, which is something you might not expect on a location like this, but they have some beautiful artwork and their food is truly exceptional. All in all, Horseshoe Bay just has that nice chilled island vibe that you're looking for on your vacay.

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.

By taking our car over on the barge we could travel around the island to the different beaches. It has some lovely places to see, some can only be accessed by car. The bus service appeared popular with people to get around the main three bays on the island. Great relaxing holiday destination.

Friendly people, particularly shop assistants, restaurant staff, cab drivers and bus drivers. Saltwater restaurant was excellent, with tables under the stars and efficient staff. The Boardwalk at Peppers was also excellent, the barramundi was delicious. I would recommend a visit to the Museum, which has historical information about the island, also handmade jewellery created by volunteers. The volunteers are also very knowledgeable about the Island's history.

Horseshoe Bay is at the northern end of Magnetic Island.

Horseshoe Bay is at the northern end of Magnetic Island. It’s not as windy as some of the other bays. And it’s a good spot to do walks from, like the Forts Walk. There is a long stretch of beach to walk on and explore. And lots of water activities to enjoy.
