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.

    location is good- about 20 minutes walk from ferry terminal, and there is bus stop outside the property. Amaroo restaurant and swimming pool are good. Attractive grounds. Overall it was quiet and mainly non smoking, but there was some smoking. The kitchenette is useful and adequate for simple cooking, but no stove just microwave. Room comfortable and ideal for solo travellers. Magnetic island is a beautiful place for a quiet relaxing holiday: easy to get around on foot or by the local bus service

    We really liked the situation, with each unit being fairly private, and the facilities on-site were great. It was quiet, and very convenient for catching the bus, also walkable from the ferry terminal at Nelly Bay. The staff were very helpful with lots of suggestions for things to do while we were there. We would definitely consider staying there again if we were to visit Magnetic Island again.

    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.

    Spacious for a couple with amazing views across Nelly Bay with access to Peppers Blue pool facilities! Our host Lizzy was incredible throughout, super friendly and offered some excellent restaurant recommendations for our group! Great to be able to cook some breakfast and make lunches in the apartment and then head out for the evening ☺️

    We had a lovely stay at one of the Island Cottages. What a great surprise when we walked in! Everything was so neat, clean and modern - it was great to feel home on Magnetic Island. We can only recommend to stay there for your holidays (and have already done so to our friends!). Will definitely come back!

    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.

    The room was at a fairly premium price which was to be expected when options on Magnetic Island are limited. The location was good and there was washing on site which was valuable having been on the road for nearly 3 weeks!
