Architecturally designed retreat - Horseshoe Bay
We loved Richard’s beautiful home. The space has been thoughtfully designed and is beautiful and practical, with the two pavilions offering space and privacy. Beautifully clean and in such a handy location to town. Everything about this has the wow factor. We loved the pool, the indoor-outdoor aspects of the decks hallway. Thank you for hosting us. Highly recommended!

Modern house with pool near Strand!
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb on my second stay there. The house is lovely, cozy, and had everything I needed. The location at the bottom of Castle Hill was simply magical, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere filled with butterflies 🦋 I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and unwind. Five stars!”

Private Room In Townsville
We stayed a few days at Franck's place, it was really very clean and comfortable and the host is very attentive! 😊 Thanks again!

TREETOPS YOUR ISLAND HOME
We a wonderful 4 nights @ Treetops. It was very spacious, I booked it for a few extra friends to drop by but we were there buy ourself most of the time. The house is set among the boulders of Magnetic Island, giving it a very local experience. The rock wallabies come to visit every night. The plunge pool is so beautiful to seat in. Drive around the island I think this is one special spot.

Privacy, Peace and Relaxation
Peace and serenity describe this house. We loved staying there, enjoying coffee on the front patio and the house was very comfortable with many amenities. Alex's description was accurate and he was responsive. We'd definitely come back!

Samsara Holiday House includes Wi-Fi
My husband & I have stayed on Magnetic Island many times & always love it -Eleanor’s beautiful home was new to us. So peaceful sitting on one of several balconies watching/listening to teeming wildlife in the surrounding National Park. The house itself is fabulous with a lovely ambience. Having had a minor accident (not in the house!) I needed to rest an ankle for a couple of days - being in such a lovely situation holiday was not spoiled as it was a pleasure to just chill out in the house. Eleanor was a perfect host and I wish to thank her for letting us stay at Samsara.

Wagtail on the Patio
Melissa's place was clean, tidy and well presented. Communication was great and worth the costs associated. Close to airport in a quiet neighbourhood

Withanee
A great location for exploring Picnic Bay and the rest of the island! Thank you for allowing our pet to join us for a long weekend. It’s hard to find a spot on the island that will accept pets but is also conveniently located close to beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

One Bedroom Apartment- Minutes from the Waterfront
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Mario’s Airbnb! The place was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable—everything was exactly as described and more. Mario was a wonderful host, responsive and thoughtful throughout. I’d highly recommend staying here and would gladly come back again! Clayton

Beachfront on The Strand Free Carpark/Fast WiFi
This place was a gem. Right on the waterfront with cafes, beach a 2 min walk. The place was very nice and had everything you need. The host Kerrie, well there is 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, beyond and above making my stay fantastic ….. you won’t go wrong here. You even have a car space.. I will definitely return. Thank you Kerrie..

At The Beach 3 Alma Bay
Such a wonderful spot in simply the best location. Susan was a great host and everything was better than we could have imagined. Great location opposite the beach and walking distance to pub (with pool for the kids!) and bus stop. The place is very well appointed and has everything you need. Can’t wait to visit again.

Ocean and Castle Hill Views Two Bedroom Apartment
Fabulous unit- the location was amazing -one house block behind the strand right in the middle of everything you need - cafes pubs restaurants.. with Cole’s around the corner. Easy to get to with uber from airport. Was exactly as described 2nd floor unit two easy flights of stairs giving wonderful breeze and fantastic views.although the outside of the building was older the inside was immaculate and very modern beach feel -everything you would want to stay in comfort

Salty's Retreat
Ray’s place was great, stayed for a few nights and he was so accommodating. I messaged very late in the afternoon for that night and he was so friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend Saltys place.

Island Family Getaway @ Arcadia BIRD LOVERS ENJOY
Such a great little flat in a super location. Walking distance to a beautiful beach, shop and little restaurant. Emma and Matt were amazing at communicating and very generous with check in and out times.

Jenner
The unit was close to many amenities - such as the hospital and shopping centre. The location was situated in a beautiful older suburb with gorgeous views of the mountains. A highlight was the kitchen which had everything necessary to make a multitude of things. I thought it was fantastic value and enjoyed my stay immensely.

1 Bed Apartment on Palmer St
The location is really central. Probably suits people heading to the stadium. The local street is full of Steakhouses, pubs and Indian Food, but more diversity is not far away. Close to Flinders Street nightlife, but not noisy. The owners wanted to meet personally to handover the key, which was ok, but meant I kept having to open my laptop to communicate with them, when my arrival schedule was a bit unpredictable due to work commitments. The rooms are much bigger than expected, and the lounge doors open onto a semi private outdoor lounge area. Then there's about 4m of nice grass, and then there's the pool and spa - so close! Infinity pool with view across the river to the rest of Townsville - it feels like a nice place to hang out. xx

Panoramic view
Lisa is so helpful, She even came down onto the road to help me direct to her place. Lisa is a lovely and kind lady. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I stayed with Lisa and I will definitely book this accomodation again. Thank you Lisa.

Water views, spacious, 3 bedroom, walk to Stadium
Old school airBnB. Lived in space, had everything we needed. We were close to amazing restaurants (We highly recommend ‘A Touch of Salt’ superb 5⭐️ dining), the Cowboys Stadium & Townsville nightlife. Anthony’s place has a large balcony with a beautiful view of Castle Hill & the River/ Yacht Club. Whilst it was easy to access the building, it was still very secure (parking and accommodation) we would definitely stay here again! Thank you Anthony. Just a note for elderly visitors, both bathrooms (ensuite + main ) have over bath showers (quite a step up and into the bath - my 80 yo in-laws managed, but just an FYI for those of you wanting to stay with elderly family).🙏🏻

Gatehouse By The Gardens
Leah was so considerate of my needs and situation, and she shaped my stay around those aspects. Everything was considered from toiletries to bathrobes to ensure any guest's comfort. The space was airy, bright and inviting. The spacious patio area was a lovely sanctuary. Thank you Leah for creating a lovely home away from home.

The Views: Space | Style | Comfort | Convenience
Angela's place was fantastic, location was great, and everything was clean and all layed out very easily. Would happily stay there again.

Central South Townsville Unit
This place was great to stay, just a single room with ensuite, perfect for what my friend and I had planned. Quiet place perfect to nap at between activities. Julie-Ann and Sam were very welcoming and accommodating. So close to everything, we scootered and walked everywhere.

Beachside Apartments Unit 19 3 Bedroom Ocean View
A lovely location overlooking the marina. Walking distance to the grocery store and a great fresh seafood shop.

Beachside Magnetic Harbour 3 Bedroom Ocean View
This is one of the nicest places we have stayed. The view is amazing and the apartment has everything we needed for a relaxed stay on Magnetic Island.

Modern spacious 1 bedroom executive apartment
Was a great apartment, so very central to everything - stadium and city centre, restaurants and markets. Brett was a pleasure to deal with and very helpful. Light and bright with awesome views of the river and stadium, even Maggie Island can be seen.
