Such a great vibe and atmosphere. Really enjoyed the activities on site and the location - much more happening compared to the other side of the island. We stayed in a private cabin with a double bed and it did the job, wasn’t too small and even had a fridge! Slight musk to the room but didn’t bother us too much. We’d 100% stay here again. Staff super friendly. Would also note bathrooms are shared and shut at certain times so plan around this!

Best place to stay on Magnetic Island!

Had a private ”cabin” and it was absolutely amazing, loved staying there. Really cozy environment, great location close to the beach and the bus stop, and you get to see so much wildlife. Bathrooms/showers and the kitchen could use a renovation but works fine. Most of the staff were friendly as well.
