Location was excellent as we were walking in the Bay to Base. Reception staff were amazing, particularly Oscar who went above and beyond when I left my Apple Watch charger at home. He lent me a spare charger that he had at home for the duration of our stay. Thank you so much.

Gemma

Just 15 minutes walk from the ferry. Close proximity to the gym, car rental place and 10 mins from Nomads hostel (if you want to drink at night)
We’ve been travelling 4 months and this was the most, if not one of the most comfortable stays we have had. It was very homely, and plenty of space.
We met the owner briefly one day and he was very friendly too.
Highly recommend. More so for couples
Thanks for having us!

We had a very memorable stay at this place, which we could truly call our home. The facilities, amenities, location and design of the house is beyond exceptional and a delight to enjoy. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Thoughtful supply of so many inclusions to make the stay comfortable. Colour coded towels, ample kitchen and laundry supplies, shopping bag etc. made our stay a luxury. Simone's responsiveness to the issues/concerns/our needs was very much appreciated.

Loved the location. Close to local shops. Our favourite eating place was Scallywags- excellent food and friendly, efficient staff and less than 10 minutes walk away. Close to the beach.

Lots of wonderful places to eat and drink, a few boutique stores and Vinnies, for those forgotten items!! The beach was fantastic, with a snorkel trail to do and a walk to a beach bar serving fantastic food.

Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island.
Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island. Two big developments and several small apartment cluster. An excellent if expensive IGA and lots of restaurants etc. The amazing bus service joining all the main villages starts and stops at Ferry Terminal at Nelly Bay. Would have loved to have explored much more.DianaAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0
Magnetic Islanders were very friendly and helpful.
Magnetic Islanders were very friendly and helpful. Very good IGA supermarket. A few restaurants with OK food. Well serviced by public buses (which very effectively link up the whole island). Very good forrest walk between Nellie Bay and Arcadia

Nelly Bay was good as a base; walking distance to the ferry and serviced by 2 supermarkets. A good bus service on the island but overtaxed by the number of people. other "villiages" did not have the supermarkets so you were purchasing takeaway or resturant food which was more expensive. Yes; we could have gone on more walks, or snorkled or maybe taken a cruise; but overall it was a limited holiday.

- From £37.63 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 598 reviewsAbsolutely loved Arcadia Lodge, staff were great and location couldn’t have been better. Just a short stroll to great pub & coffee shop & convenience store around the corner. We hated to had to leave and will hopefully get back there before heading home to Victoria as there is so much to see & do. We met some really nice people while staying there & met the resident echidnas while there. We would like to thank Ian, V & Craig for their hospitality and advise all that Magnetic Island had to offer.
JoanneAustralia - From £110.07 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 59 reviewsIt was a very quiet and safe location, the apartment was spacious. There was potable water in jugs in the fridge which was a very nice touch as the tap water on magnetic Island has a strong taste when not very cold. The location of the room was OK if you don't mind walking a bit or have a car. It's about a 30 min walk from the ferry and 15 min walk from nearest restaurants. The bus stop was right out front which was very convenient.Seitz-ChernerUnited States

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and living kitchen dining laundry and toilet "downstairs". (The apartment was in first and second floors - stairs might be a challenge for some?)
