Hosts gave really detailed instructions to access and kindly dropped us off at the ferry terminal after our stay which was greatly appreciated

AFFORDABLE ISLAND ESCAPE! Queen Studio, Nelly Bay, hotel in Nelly Bay

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, AFFORDABLE ISLAND ESCAPE! Queen Studio, Nelly Bay is located in Nelly Bay.

Location was good. This is not the Taj Mahel but then again you are not paying for that. What you do get is a compact room with everything you need for your stay. And importantly, it is very clean and quiet. Very comfy bed that fitted my 6’5” frame without my feet hanging out the end! Owner obviously cares for her clients as there was a couple of nice surprises in the fridge. At this price point you will not find better on the island.

    We had a very memorable stay at this place, which we could truly call our home. The facilities, amenities, location and design of the house is beyond exceptional and a delight to enjoy. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Thoughtful supply of so many inclusions to make the stay comfortable. Colour coded towels, ample kitchen and laundry supplies, shopping bag etc. made our stay a luxury. Simone's responsiveness to the issues/concerns/our needs was very much appreciated.

    Loved the location. Close to local shops. Our favourite eating place was Scallywags- excellent food and friendly, efficient staff and less than 10 minutes walk away. Close to the beach. Close to the ferry terminus. If you haven't got a car, the bus service is very convenient

    Lots of wonderful places to eat and drink, a few boutique stores and Vinnies, for those forgotten items!! The beach was fantastic, with a snorkel trail to do and a walk to a beach bar serving fantastic food.

    Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island.

    Nelly Bay is a little like the "CBD" of Magnetic Island. Two big developments and several small apartment cluster. An excellent if expensive IGA and lots of restaurants etc. The amazing bus service joining all the main villages starts and stops at Ferry Terminal at Nelly Bay. Would have loved to have explored much more.

    Magnetic Islanders were very friendly and helpful. Very good IGA supermarket. A few restaurants with OK food. Well serviced by public buses (which very effectively link up the whole island). Very good forrest walk between Nellie Bay and Arcadia

    Nelly Bay was good as a base; walking distance to the ferry and serviced by 2 supermarkets. A good bus service on the island but overtaxed by the number of people. other "villiages" did not have the supermarkets so you were purchasing takeaway or resturant food which was more expensive. Yes; we could have gone on more walks, or snorkled or maybe taken a cruise; but overall it was a limited holiday.

    It was a very quiet and safe location, the apartment was spacious. There was potable water in jugs in the fridge which was a very nice touch as the tap water on magnetic Island has a strong taste when not very cold. The location of the room was OK if you don't mind walking a bit or have a car. It's about a 30 min walk from the ferry and 15 min walk from nearest restaurants. The bus stop was right out front which was very convenient.

    Fantastic place to stay on Magnetic Island as a solo traveller. Liz was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome including picking me up/dropping me off to the ferry terminal and making my stay so easy. She provided lots of lovely groceries and extra treats! The location was perfect, nice and quiet with an amazing pool and sunbeds and a gorgeous view of the mountains!

    This property is clean and tidy. There is a bus stop straight outside the complex. Buy a day ticket from the ferry and you will be delivered to the bus stop, near the reception desk. Lynda has a lovely cold white wine in the fridge for your arrival. We have stayed twice now, and will definitely use this property as our go to accommodation on Magnetic Island .

    A fabulous spot about 300-400 metres from Magnetic Island Ferry Terminal. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and living kitchen dining laundry and toilet "downstairs". (The apartment was in first and second floors - stairs might be a challenge for some?) Apartment was wonderfully light and airy, well furnished and very well set up. Wifi was excellent!

    Very practical cottages to spend few days on the island. It was clean and comfortable with A/C and all other fit outs. Good location opposite a bus stop and walking distance from the ferry. Close to a supermarket, a bottle shop, few coffee shops.. Quiet and peaceful. Good communication with the owners, left alone to enjoy the holiday. Reasonable pricing.

    Spacious for a couple with amazing views across Nelly Bay with access to Peppers Blue pool facilities! Our host Lizzy was incredible throughout, super friendly and offered some excellent restaurant recommendations for our group! Great to be able to cook some breakfast and make lunches in the apartment and then head out for the evening ☺️

    We had a lovely stay at one of the Island Cottages. What a great surprise when we walked in! Everything was so neat, clean and modern - it was great to feel home on Magnetic Island. We can only recommend to stay there for your holidays (and have already done so to our friends!). Will definitely come back!

    The rooms were very spacious, and had all we needed. The gardens and pool area were gorgeous. It was very quiet and close to the beach. Staff was fantastic and we enjoyed our relaxing Island stay a lot. We came in July and mainly explored the island on foot. A bus stop is conveniently close to the hotel.
