Tropical Palms Resort & 4WD Hire, hotel in Picnic Bay

Just 200 metres from Picnic Bay Beach, Tropical Palms Inn offers air-conditioned rooms with a kitchenette and a private balcony or courtyard.

I was a little bit nervous about travelling to Maggie for the first time with my 3 year old. Catching the ferry and the correct buses, but the managers were very helpful! Upon arrival we were very welcomed! I had forgotten milk for my little one and the managers came and gave me some additional milk at 7pm at night. We had a great time chilling in the pool and the accom is only a short walk to the beach!

    Loved the area.

    Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

    We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

    Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful.

    Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

    Picnic Bay is the quieter end of Magnetic Island with a lovely beach lots of birdlife and well cared for Mall area filled with shaded seating areas , magnificent Fig trees and a hotel which serves good food with bright cheerful service. There are other options for meals and more to be found in the other bay areas and the local bus service will take to all the beauty spots on the Island. If you want a relaxing holiday Picnic Bay is an excellent choice.

    Rob and Jen were great hosts and the accommodation is well positioned close to the beach and cafes. There are plenty of nice walks from Picnic Point and a regular bus that runs all over the island. There are stinger nets on the beach and the waterfront is gorgeous. Tropical Palms has clean rooms with stove, fridge and microwave with aircon, tv and a covered pool and bbq. An affordable home away from home on this beautiful island.

    More variety of shops needed eg. Mini mart. Very limited choice for dining ( particularly breakfast) One coffee shop very expensive for what you get. Picnic Bay foreshore is like a ghost town in the mornings

    Probably one of the best budget accommodations in Australia : cleverly conceived, small but pleasant rooms in a lush garden with a sink, a very efficient fridge and a flat-screen TV. The shared bathroom, big common kitchen and comfy lounge are all conveniently close to the rooms. There's even a lovely dog which you can take out for a walk. The location is great, close to the jetty and the bus terminal. The bus even stops in front of the hotel if asked.

    The large deck was exceptional, with plenty of comfortable seating, and the barbeque was a welcome feature. The beach and eating venues were in easy walking distance. Local wildlife was in abundance, with nightly visits from possums, and a koala visible in the trees across the road from the property. Kitchen crockery/cutlery was very adequate, and cooking facilities also adequate. The complimentary bag of ice came in handy.

    The location was perfect with only a short walk to the beach,, stinger net, hotel, cafe/restaurant and craft brewery. Beautiful quiet bay for beach walking. Small cafe Mama Roma did their best to create evening, alfresco ambience with a simple menu but good food. Only light traffic on nearby roads and a few minutes to Foodworks for any groceries and the ferry terminal at Nelly Bay for the trip home.

    The place itself is great. The owner gave me a bunch of activities to do. all his rentals were super affordable including his little shop which has everything you need to make a meal. The bus drivers will drop you right at the property. The other bus stop is a 2 min walk away. It is also beside picnic bay one of the only places with nets in the water so you can swim! Highly recommend

    Set among palm trees, the chalet is a great place to stay in a quiet area away from the crowds at Nelly Bay. A kitchen and BBQ on the verandah make self-catering easy. Comfortable bedroom and lounge space. Minutes to the Picnic Bay Beach and jetty. Close to an excellent bus service that connects to all of the island.

    Very nice and quiet small villa with sea view, separated from the beach only by a small road. Well thought out floor plan with a small pool between the bedroom and the living elements. Picnic Bay is ideal to relax. Good restaurants and a great brewery on site. Well served by public bus.

    Janette the owner was lovely and was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. It is a really charming cottage that has lovely spaces in which to chill. Open plan, spacious, high ceilings, surrounded by nature, right near Picnic Bay. Can't go wrong :-)

    I have not stayed at Picnic Bay on Magnetic Island before & so after this experience, I will certainly go back to that part of the island. OK. Moreover Roxanne was terrific host. Provided you have a car or bike, then the position is terrific.
