Conveniently located next to the Nelly Bay terminal, within walking distance to the bus, IGA, and a range of local eateries. Our apartment had a balcony with a lovely, sheltered view of Nelly Bay — perfect for relaxing or watching the rock wallabies being fed. While the apartment was comfortable, the room we stayed in was a little tired and outdated and would benefit from a refresh. Overall, a convenient and enjoyable base for exploring Magnetic Island.

The room was clean with a lovely view however the oven did not work. It would be useful to request a second key as you need it to get in and out of the apartment complex. The furniture could use an update as the couch was torn.

Our room was 1304. Was expecting a small hotel style room but was fully equipped with kitchen, laundry washing machine and big bath tub. Beautiful views from veranda and 4 pools to choose from. Our other friends room next door was the same. Fantastic!. Only downside was our room was very musty and mouldy smelling and our friends washing machine filters were full of yuk. Great time there and will be back just not in room 1304.
