This was a hidden gem that exceeded our expectations. It was easy to find and just a short walk from the esplanade that has a few restaurants, a pub, a cafe, a brewery and a gorgeous beach with a jetty to fish off (or just watch the world go by) and a swimming net. Picnic Bay is a quite spot on the island but the busses run frequently and on time to get you anywhere else on the island if you want to explore. The man on reception was so friendly with a no fuss check in and super informative about anything we needed to know. The accommodation is small but absolutely spotless. Paths and gardens were clean and maintained, the pool was sparkling, the outdoor bbq area super clean and spacious and the rooms were just perfect, actually better than the photos. They had everything we needed for our night stay, we would definitely stay again and hopefully for longer next time.

    Fantastic motel and great for families/friend groups. We were a group of 8 staying in two family rooms, which was more than enough space. Pleasantly surprised about the ocean view from balcony, and staff were super accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

    Nelly Bay was beautiful but Magnetic Island was stunning and relaxing. We hiked to watch sunset, saw so much wildlife (a koala, echidna, wallaby, stingray, turtle) and the views and different beaches were all magnificent (Arcadia, Geoffrey Bay, Fort Walk, Nelly Bay). We took a car and it was the best decision as the bus service seemed to have quite a wait. Overall we loved Maggie Island, the getaway was just what I needed and I will definitely go back.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A great location for visiting Magnetic Island. Bakery was a gem and the cafe opposite the accommodation. The island bus was excellent costing $1 for travelling on it more than once during the day. Lots of great scenic walks.

    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.

    The motel is well situated next to the pub for meals. You can walk to the beach. Great local busses. Plenty excursions if you want them. Motel not five star but clean and not to expensive and you are on Magnetic island it’s like going back in time. Paradise.

    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.

    Nelly Bay is a beautiful, low-key, welcoming and relaxing place. Walking along the path through the marina was a favourite. We loved running and walking along the Gabul pathway with the view of Geoffory Bay at the top. Cafe Del Sol has amazing coffee and great, relaxed atmosphere - a great way to start the day. Buses were the best way to get around the island.

    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.
