Hotels near Jet Ski Hire Magnetic Island in Magnetic Island

I loved this place despite some downsides. It’s in the best area of the island, at walking distance from a stunning beach (Horseshoe bay). I booked it because I’m a digital nomad and Selinas are normally great because they offer a coworking space. The only issue is that I work European hours and I often finish at 9:00pm (as most of digital nomads I guess) but the kitchen closes at 09:00 and all the restaurants in the island close at 09:00pm too. The result is that during the week you cannot eat 😅 that’s not optimal. On top of that Wi-Fi stopped working for one whole evening and the following morning and I was stressing out because I had to send some urgent emails that could not be sent. For the record - there is not even phone signal so you cannot use data as a backup, you really need to rely on the Wi-Fi. Another flaw is that it’s too far away from everything, the only supermarket is 1hr walk (the bus runs only a few times a day) and they don’t even offer a scooter hire service (I had to get the bus and go to the other l’art of the island - it would be great if they organised something for guests). Nevertheless if you’re staying for the weekend it’s totally worth it. The staff is really nice, the restaurant offers good food and the place is just like paradise, it’s in the middle of the koala park. You are immersed by nature and it’s stunning. The dorms have very comfy beds and some have their own bathroom which is great. I am writing what to improve just because this place could be even better and has some room for improvement. But I highly recommend anyone to go (and I am already doing so)

There is a feeling of cleanliness in the room. The staff had a very nice smile and was impressive. The location was excellent for sightseeing.

We visited for our wedding anniversary and had the most amazing time! Deb & Larry are great hosts with lots of local knowledge and recommendations. The location of the B&B is perfect. Extremely close to the bus stop and only a 10 min walk to the beach and restaurants. Selina’s is also close by if you want to pop in for a drink, play pool, yoga and bird feeding. The rooms at True North are clean, spacious and have everything you need. Most importantly the bed and pillows are VERY COMFORTABLE! Then of course are the breakfasts - divine! Lots of choice and very hearty to fill you up for the day. We loved relaxing with our coffee & brekki, watching the wallabies bounce past each morning. Deb and Larry go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. We will be returning!

My father and I stayed here on the Anzac day weekend as we flew in to see the Cowboys game - the stadium is a stones throw away, so this is in a great location. A change in our original flight schedule saw us arrive in Townsville a couple hours earlier than originally anticipated, and we were lucky enough for our room to be ready to access then. Basic, affordable accommodation, with friendly staff, the Palmer Collective is a great choice in Townsville. In fact, I've stayed here on 3 of my 4 Townsville visits (the other 2 under it's former names of Ibis and Townsville Central). This will be my first choice when I return to Townsville next

The hotel is located 20 meters from where the ferry leaves you from Townsville, so it is not necessary to have the car on the island, although if you bring it to the door of the hotel there is free parking for up to 3 days. The hotel is composed of several blocks, some with simple rooms, others with more or less large apartments. It has a giant pool. The access to the room is by stairs, there is the option of using an elevator, but it can catch you away and not avoid all the stairs, as in our case. Reception staff and lovely bar / restaurant employees.

We stayed for 7 nights. When booking the receptionist helped us book a room that was quiet, private and had a view. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is on top of a small hill close to the start of the 'goat track' up Castle Hill, and a 15 minute walk to the CBD in one direction, the Strand in another, and about 20 minutes to the ferry terminals. There is free parking on site.

Very satisfied, like it very much

The location is right on the strand of the beach. The sunset is very beautiful at dusk. It is also very convenient to go to the coffee shop to the supermarket and walk for 10 minutes. Buy all the daily necessities and sit on the terrace to watch the sunset until dusk, which is pleasing to the eyes. As for the service, there is basically nothing except Check In. It's not like living in a hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, with five-star service In terms of price, in terms of 1000 heads, it does not include anything. It is really because there is no choice.

If you are here in Townsville, choose this one, don’t hesitate, because this one has a fully functioning air conditioner. If there is no air conditioner in Townsville, or the temperature of the air conditioner is locked, it will keep you all night. Can't sleep at night. The girl at the front desk was very enthusiastic.

Just when we thought Townsville could not possibly have any more surprise offerings, we stepped into the Rambutan Resort on Flinders Street. The ground floor bar and small lobby belies what we found in arrival on the 3rd floor accommodation level. We have a relaxed Italian restaurant - Armati’s, fabulous bar, rooftop pool, poolside cabanas encircled on 3 sides by the accommodation suites. Our room was tastefully furnished, somewhat “Hamptons style”, large comfortable beds and while the ensuite was on the small side, this was compensated with an overly generous shower - were talking 1.8m x 1m. We did hit a minor hurdle with a water leak from a pipe in the bathroom ceiling, however management were prompt and efficient in their response and you could not really hope for more. The only concern is that with it’s own pool, bar and restaurant at your door - I mean really at your door- you might have no reason to leave and find you’ve missed out on some of the sights of Townsville. And Townsville really has a lot to offer. However this is now certainly my go to accommodation in Townsville.
