Jikinerita Homestay, hotel in Nelly Bay

Jikinerita Homestay is a recently renovated homestay in Nelly Bay where guests can make the most of its outdoor swimming pool, garden, and terrace.

The property was very private with a nice pool and chill area. The little flat we had was perfect for our stay, with a living room, bedroom and bathroom. We shared the kitchen with the hosts, which resulted in interesting chats with them and we got some inside tipps of where to go and what to see. Overall, i would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Harmony Haven, hotel in Nelly Bay

1.5 miles from Geoffrey Bay Beach in Nelly Bay, Harmony Haven provides accommodations with access to a fitness center. The air-conditioned accommodation is a 16-minute walk from Nelly Bay Beach.

It 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.

    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. Close to the ferry terminus. If you haven't got a car, the bus service is very convenient

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely 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.

    Peppers is a beautiful property in a good location for getting around the Island. It has a nice relaxed vibe and staff were all very helpful and very friendly. The large pool lit up at night is beautiful. Liked being on the marina and seeing the boats. Right next to Ferry and bus terminal so good spot if you don’t take a car. Walks to Alma bay were a favourite on a fantastic walkway. Magnetic Island was a great destination. Loved all the national park walks and different bays to visit.

    Silvie & Michael are the most lovely hosts I ever met! From the first moment I felt welcomed. They had great tips for me, (ask for their Rock Wallabies special spot), were chatty but I also had my privacy in the apartment - which was not only perfectly clean but also really nicely furnished & with a brand new aircon. The location is also great, right between Picknick Bay & Nelly Bay with a bus stop nearby. I would always recommend to book with them when you are on Magnetic Island.

    Could not have asked for a better property to stay at while visiting Magnetic Island. We were greeted by Lizzie (manager of the property) at the port on our arrival. She explained the amenities of the property in detail and was friendly and very professional. Bed was extremely comfortable, bathroom clean and shower had excellent water pressure. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we required ranging from salt, oil and pots and pans.

    Everything! We absolutely loved our stay at the Island Leisure Resort. It’s close to the ferry terminal with a Foodworks around the corner and there’s a bus stop on the same road. We were blown away with how exceptionally helpful and friendly the staff were! All we can say is a massive thank you for making our stay on Magnetic Island so comfortable and memorable.

    Very practical cottages to spend few days on the island. It was clean and comfortable with A/C and all other fit outs. Good location opposite a bus stop and walking distance from the ferry. Close to a supermarket, a bottle shop, few coffee shops.. Quiet and peaceful. Good communication with the owners, left alone to enjoy the holiday. Reasonable pricing.

    The location and views were absolutely perfect and amazing. Restaurants and shops were a short walk away and having a pool downstairs was great. The apartment was airy and spacious with comfortable furniture throughout. It was a very relaxing place to stay with plenty of space for family games and meals. We had a great holiday together!

    The rooms were very spacious, and had all we needed. The gardens and pool area were gorgeous. It was very quiet and close to the beach. Staff was fantastic and we enjoyed our relaxing Island stay a lot. We came in July and mainly explored the island on foot. A bus stop is conveniently close to the hotel.
