Enjoyed my stay at Island Leisure. There are many nature trails on Magnetic Island that are easily accessible by the local bus service, if you don't have a car.
What a great, clean and happy place this is. Highly recommend this resort. The rooms are spotless, the grounds well kept and neat, close to bus stops and finally the staff are so helpful and happy. The pool was a sanctuary of relaxation.
I will be back.
