The room was clean with a lovely view however the oven did not work. It would be useful to request a second key as you need it to get in and out of the apartment complex. The furniture could use an update as the couch was torn.

Conveniently located next to the Nelly Bay terminal, within walking distance to the bus, IGA, and a range of local eateries. Our apartment had a balcony with a lovely, sheltered view of Nelly Bay — perfect for relaxing or watching the rock wallabies being fed. While the apartment was comfortable, the room we stayed in was a little tired and outdated and would benefit from a refresh. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable base for exploring Magnetic Island.

2 of the 4 pools were out of action. Did receive an email letting us know of one, so decided to keep the booking. Then to arrive to two being out. The 2 pools water was poor quality, obviously over used. Room it self very poor, stains on carpet, rusted fittings. Aircon leaking. With such an amazing view, if they invested some money in making the room match would have been okay.

Positives: close to pool area, with no direct access (safe for little ones). Large unit for families with plenty of room and a great modern kitchen. Lovely outside decking area. Entrance with louvres and a drying rack for wet clothes-dries fast. Also has a washer and dryer. Close to all amenities, ferry service (walking distance), IGA and amazing seafood cafe with coffee, ice cream and pancakes down the road. Also close to car hire services. Great place to stay overall. Negatives: this unit has a partial sea view not a full view (was advertised showing an open unobstructed sea view). The view is obstructed by a hedge with the pool area beyond and the view of the area where the ferries dock. Main shower has extensive unsightly tiles that need attention.

The room itself was lovely and had a great view. However, we paid $20 for a cot for our baby for one night, and when we went to put her down, we discovered there was no mattress. Reception was closed by then, so unfortunately, my baby and I had a very uncomfortable night as there was nowhere safe for us to co-sleep. When we mentioned this at check-out the next morning, we were told it may have been overlooked by backpacker staff who didn’t realize there was another part to the cot. There was no offer of a refund for the cot, which was disappointing given the circumstances.
