True North is oozing with character, comfort and amazing cooked breakfasts. Deb is friendly and being a local gives great advice. It is a short walk from stunning beaches, pub and eateries. Transport around the island is cheap and keeps great time making the island easily accessible. It is close to walks with breath taking views and history. What’s not to love!

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.

Location was amazing by a nice cluster of restaurants and cafes in Picnic Bay, as well as a short walk to the beach and some nice trails. The studio was so clean and just what we needed for our 3 night stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful! Great value stay!

I have not stayed at Picnic Bay on Magnetic Island before & so after this experience, I will certainly go back to that part of the island. OK. Moreover Roxanne was terrific host. Provided you have a car or bike, then the position is terrific.
