Best place to stay on Magnetic Island!
Had a private ”cabin” and it was absolutely amazing, loved staying there. Really cozy environment, great location close to the beach and the bus stop, and you get to see so much wildlife. Bathrooms/showers and the kitchen could use a renovation but works fine. Most of the staff were friendly as well.

Had a fantastic stay in a glamping tent. Could have had more bedding as it was a little cool at night.
Facilities were great. Hired a car but there is a bus stop out the front. Great social area with pool table. Lots of wildlife around. Would stay there again.

Loved it!!
Loved staying at Selina, such great accommodation in a beautiful setting. Only negative was that wifi was only available around the reception area so I had none in my cabin

Selina was great! We stayed in a family room. Nice clean room and very quiet. Staff members were all super friendly. Bus stop is right outside the property and property is walking distance to Horseshoe Bay. Live music during happy hour was great. Chill vibe and environment.

Lovely stay in the cabin! Fridge and AC in the room which was perfect! Events on each night if you want to get involved. Close to a bus stop and walking distance to the beach. Staff were all lovely and helpful. The bathrooms were fine for us but not particularly clean even after their daily clean. Slight downside was guests do not keep the communal kitchen clean and a lot of the gas hobs don’t work.
Would definitely recommend staying here in the cabins! I would not recommend staying in the glamping tent as they are currently being treated for mould.

Cute little hostel on Magnetic Island which was adequate but not amazing. We loved the pool area and walking around the grounds, also enjoyed the bird feeding. Nice chill environment in the communal areas. The staff were all friendly and welcoming.
The room had a few little things that just played on our mind. We stayed in the queen room with private bathroom - the sink is so so unnecessarily tiny, they provide a kettle in this room but it’s almost impossible to fill in the sink, every time you wash your face or teeth water just ends up everywhere and on the floor. No floor towel provided (only 2 small bath towels) so water just sits on the floor, and then the toilet door is water damaged and swollen so is hard to open. There is no need for the sink to be so tiny, a standard size basin and cupboard would fit with hanging space on the adjacent wall.
Other little things are - provide tea/coffee and cups in the room but no teaspoons; there was no remote for the fan and when we asked about it was told maintenance would be told but nothing happened - no wall switch so just couldn’t use it; no blinds or coverings on the windows and the street light from outside just shines through all night. Again just a bunch of little annoying things but add up and could be such a simple fix to make this place amazing. Outdoor hooks or small clothes line would be great as well given it’s an island with lots of swimming/water activities.

Private room not worth it as incredibly noisy. Not cleaned (including bins, towels) for whole stay.
Hostel grounds were nice (although cooking hard as no plates in kitchen and bin overflowing).
The atmosphere at the hostel was very nice and staff on reception were nice (but WhatsApp line doesn’t seem to work at all).
Pool nice and clean and general facilities in the hostel really nice. Great location.
