Turtle Cottage Magnetic Island

Picnic Bay

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Turtle Cottage Magnetic Island is located in Picnic Bay. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.1 km from Rocky Bay Beach. We loved Turtle Cottage! Our highlight was to find two koalas in the tree in front of the house. The house itself is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen fully equipped. There's also a big pattio in the garden, where we could relax and eat in the shade. We loved waking up to the sound of birds. It's just a short walk to Picnic Bay beach, which has a stinger net. This is also where the bus stops, so it's easy to travel to Nelly Bay or other parts of the island. The owners are very lovely and helpful.

This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.5 km from Radical Bay Beach. The unit was bright and clean in a very central area. The pool was fresh and the area around it clean, was a pleasure to use. Liz was very welcoming and made us feel right at home, hugs all round when we left with promises to return. Huge thanks to Gareth for helping us when we had a flat battery, not only did he get us going but lent us his battery pack for the duration of our stay ‘just in case’, very much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

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.

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.
