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.

This was a lovely apartment. The surroundings were so pretty and full of birds. Communication was great from start to finish and we were greeted and helped to find our place. The cute sign personally welcoming us was such a nice touch! The kitchen area and bathroom had everything we could need and were very clean. WiFi worked well. The hosts were gracious to allow us to leave our things on the porch after checkout. Great location on beautiful Maggie’s island. We’d highly recommend this apartment.

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.LesAustralia

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 646 reviewsThe room was clean and spacious. There was a lovely little kitchen area with anything you could need. The place itself is gorgeous and the pool is amazing. I especially loved how there were so many places to sit in the sun or shade. Having almost half the pool under a sun shade was perfect after spending long days in the sun. Lovely staff who are always so helpful in recommending things to do. The kiosk for snacks and drinks is so affordable. You could almost spend your whole stay on Magnetic Island at the resort. 10/10

The front counter staff provided useful tourist information. Magnetic Island itself is a beautiful island, I don't know why it's not more famous. Difficult to find a better island anywhere, though one day there is moe than enough to see everything. We only stayed one night & took our rental car there which was perfect.ANDREWAustralia
- From $153.37 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,226 reviewsHaving breakfast included, the lovely pool at the back, the locality and the good size of the bathroom and main living area. After being in a very small cabin on a cruise for 10 days the spaciousness felt amazing. I have always wanted to visit Magnetic Island and we were certainly not disappointed. We would both return in a heartbeat and stay at Peppers. Our stay wasn't long enough.DeniseAustralia

Buy a day ticket from the ferry and you will be delivered to the bus stop, near the reception desk. Lynda has a lovely cold white wine in the fridge for your arrival.

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 84 reviewsVery 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.
MariuszAustralia - 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 17 reviewsBalcony was a good view but felt like part of the room. Was woken at 5.30 am by alarms and an evacuation message for over 10 minutes. Then dismissed as a false alarm. Then the fire brigade attended. Fully dressed and unable to sleep after that before a 5 1/2 hour drive so not good. Magnetic Island however is beautiful. Horshoe Bay is beautiful too.KathleenAustralia
