This historic Queenslander-style home with original timber floors and high ceilings offers air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi. Continental breakfast is served on the outdoor deck each morning.

We arrived late but our hosts kindly waited and even offered us something to eat after our journey. Classique is a beautifully kept 19th century house with spacious bedrooms, high ceilings and very comfortable beds. There’s a reception room with a pool table and darts along with complimentary port and sherry. Breakfast was stunning. Tropical fruit, local jams, toast, poached eggs, fresh tea and coffee served on the back terrace in the glorious sunshine. Our heartfelt thanks to the owners who helped us no end, facilitating a trip to magnetic island and making our stay a memorable and wonderful experience. We hope to return!

    Location is amazing, in the city centre, 20 minutes walk to the Strand, and 10 to the Stadium. Facilities are clean and kitchen has everything you would need to cook for a short stay. Hosts are really friendly and helped us extend our stay on a really busy weekend. The cleaning lady was also really friendly and chatty any time we met her.
