We loved the location it was so easy to get to and was right across from two beautiful beaches and the rock wallabies. Pools were great and was so nice to have the pub and cafe on site along with a bus stop right by. Rooms were clean and spacious and we were very grateful for a super late check out.

The chalet nestled in the forest was perfect for replenishing our traveling souls. It was a pleasant walk to gorgeous Alma Bay, handy to the RSL Club for Sunday Roast, & very handy to the bus. We loved the peace & quiet as well as the spaciousness of the unit with comfortable deck overlooking the pool.
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. 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.

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.
Serenity was an exceptional find! With new modern upgrades, the room was spacious and well appointed with a bed I instantly fell asleep on and slept like a baby. Access could not have been easier and it as an ideal location being a short walk from the beach and local restaurants.
Serenity is ideally placed for Picnic Bay - it is maybe 400m from the beach, restaurants, transport and local attractions.
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.
A warm welcome on arrival. Great access to everywhere at Picnic Bay, close to bus stop for ferry and other island centres. Comfortable and spacious room with good facilities. Fantastic service from manager Jen, who drove us in pouring rain to the Nelly Bay clinic and waited to drive us back to the motel.
We had a lovely time enjoying the villa and its amenities especially the personal pool, the bathtub, washing machine and dryer. The staff was prompt with their response especially when I asked for laundry liquid. The location is perfect in picnic Bay
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.
very comfortable, clean, well equipped with stove, microwave, utensils etc. Very clean property, located close to Picnic Bay and walking distance from excellent restaurants and the brewery.
this is a delightful chalet located very close to Picnic bay beach. we enjoyed cooking a bbq on the porch and thought the chalet had everything you needed for a very pleasant stay.
The location is spectacular, the host incredibly helpful and the accommodation had an incredible amount of room. This holiday house has everything you could possibly ask for!
So spacious with plenty of room to relax and be as a family. The location in Picnic Bay is great - right down the street from the pier, playground and swimming beach.
