Beach Apartment on La Strand
We stayed during very wet weather but were very conveniently located near things to do and restaurants, so had plenty to keep us occupied. Thanks Genna!

3102 Magnetic Island 🏝 Stunning Oceanfront Luxury
Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location. Has everything you needed and more

1304 - The Perfect Escape
This was our first time visiting Magnetic Island and this place was exactly what we needed! The apartment was modern and spacious for the two of us. The best thing is that it’s walking distance from the ferry.

Best Views
Absolutely loved staying at "Best Views" centrally located to the Ferry, Bus Stop, IGA and a wonderfully appointed room. Waked to the Rock Wall fault where we spotted and fed the wallabies too! The pool was sensational and the room was equipped with everything one needs for their stay. Thank you for having us 😊

Aquarius Escape
Beautifully Renovated, great hosts and amenities. The little treats left were a fantastic touch Thank you, can't wait to book again

Communication with the host was top-notch. Clear instructions and quick responses made everything run smoothly. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Water View Resort in North Ward
Very nice place. Comfortable, relaxing, clean and quiet room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

BEACHFRONT on The STRAND
Absolutely enjoyed each and every minute we stayed. A home away from home. The waterpark across the road was the best for the family and visiting family. Thank you

On the Beach
Fantastic location. The ideal place if you want to disconnect and relax.

Essence Beachfront Retreat
Beautiful service from Best Of Magnetic, stunning property in a magic location. Private, romantic and practical. Furniture needs an update and the back patio was covered in green ants which might be just part of the charm but all in all a really wonderful weekend spent in Essence.

Lakeside - spacious/pool/close to V8s,City,Strand
We would totally recommend this property, lovely vibes as soon as you walk into the spacious living, kitchen area. We loved the kitchen, plenty of room for a couple of cooks. The 3 bathrooms worked a treat, the main ensuite is amazing. We made good use of the lovely shaded pool, perfect for the Townsville summer. We have had a perfect relaxing break, the house was very easy to keep clean and tidy, we will definitely stay again on our next break up North.

Lakeside Luxury 4 BR Stunner
Great view and private setting, very easy to get inside and they were always fast to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Absolute beach front
The home is beautiful. Location is great and easy access to the beach. Caroline has thought of all the little things that makes a home a home. Plenty of amenities close by and loads of space inside the home. We’re looking forward to another visit soon!

Beachside Magnetic Harbour 3 Bedroom Ocean View
Great stay, views were amazing and the space in the building was very roomy

Tropical island views of the beautiful Coral Sea
A beautiful and modern apartment with stunning views. All amenities were fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. A cot was setup ready for our baby. Very minor note, the Wi-Fi across Bright Point is ok, but it can be unreliable, particularly in the evenings.

Great place to stay with secure car park and close to restaurants. Within walking distance to the stadium and nightlife.
