Island Leisure Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lovely villas. Beds were nice and comfy."

Absolute Waterfront Magnetic Island

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our time on Magnetic Island and have great accommodation added to that experience. The room was clean, we were able to park our car, had a great view over the marina and we had use of the Pepper Blue facilities. The only negative was with the Peppers Blue restaurant, don’t bother eating dinner there, it was over priced and ordinary. Much better food to be had for similar cost at Granite or Saltwater close by."
