Comprising an outdoor swimming pool and a garden, Jikinerita Homestay is a recently renovated accommodation in Nelly Bay set close to Magnetic Island Marina. The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from Nelly Bay Beach, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. Magnetic Island National Park is 7.6 km from the homestay.

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.

Arcadia Beach Guest house is a unique laid back experience, offering the perfect Island getaway. The property is nestled between tropical gardens at the rear of the property and the beach directly across the road.

Best place I've visited so far. Loved the wood being everywhere and the tents! But specifically the staff that was kind and always there to help us with any need. Clean, tidy and comfortable place 5⭐

    Beautiful place to stay, very comfortable, extremely well equipped and perfect size for two travellers. The pool is great too! Kate was a lovely host, and had included many thoughtful touches throughout the property, and during check in to make our stay extra special.

    I’ve been in many hostels so far and this is definitely the best one! With its pool, the amazing location directly on the beach and its own bar & restaurant it feels more like a hotel than a hostel. There are events every evening from karaoke to live DJs and it’s the most popular place for the locals to come and party there as well. The staff at the reception was super nice and went above and beyond to help me with all my enquiries. This place ensures you a good time!

    Great hosts, they welcomed me warmly and gave me many tips on hikes and good food places on the island. The room was nice and clean. I had my own bathroom and could use the TV in the living room as well as the kitchen.

    It was an amazing place to stay and explore all surroundings of the island. it was super quiet, we had the pool to ourselves, we had great recommendations where to eat, what to explore and how we would get there. This place has a really lovely ‘home character’. Highly recommend staying here! Thanks to our lovely host for having us and for your great accommodation!
