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.

Had a fantastic stay in a glamping tent. Could have had more bedding as it was a little cool at night. Facilities were great. Hired a car but there is a bus stop out the front. Great social area with pool table. Lots of wildlife around. Would stay there again.

Beautiful grounds, and we loved our cabin. It felt roomy and cozy at the same time. It was great having our own tea kettle, coffee and refrigerator. The staff were always available and we loved the option of coming down to the main area for coffee and/or breakfast, lunch, drinks, dinner etc. We loved the variety of travelers playing pool, cards, ping pong and chatting. Beautifully decrated with custom mural and tapestries.

Koala behind out tent!

This place has a lovely, chilled vibe. We heard a koala out the back of our tent around 5.30am (grunting quietly) so we got out slowly and watched it climb the tree and eat. Magical early morning moment!!. We stayed in a glamping tent - it was basic but had a proper bed, side tables, bean bag and lights. Loved it here, wanted to stay longer. Will be back.

Liked: Amenities
The hostel is great compared to many. We stayed in a private room, as two couples. We were woken at 6am every morning by staff blasting music at the connecting koala sanctuary. We complained the first day to staff and the very same thing happened the next day, we were offered breakfast and drink vouchers which was appreciated, however a 6am wake up call on the weekend by staff really was a major disappointment. The room had a problem with ants, and there was a big gap at the top of our door which let in lots of insects. A few touch ups and the room itself would’ve been great. The food and drinks were great. And a great location.
