This property was very comfortable and filled with extras such as a coffee machine, pods, tea bags, milk and shower products. There was a tv and comfortable lounge area. You could use the washing machine and laundry detergent for free. There was plenty of space and somewhere to park your car. It has been the best place we have stayed traveling by far especially considering the price point. The host was so helpful and kind with recommendations. It was a true holiday destination. Picnic bay is a quiet area however it has a local brewery and Italian restaurant within walking distance. We hired a car across the road to explore the island but it is not necessary as the bus stop is nearby.

A truly stunning property in a wonderful location - 5 minutes walk to the main street and beach. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the private balcony is a wonderful place to spend your downtime. Horseshoe Bay is the place to be on the island. The hosts go the extra mile for their guests and the breakfasts are amazing 🤩.

    Best place to stay on Maggie! The dormitory is only 6 people, and all single beds, so no bunk. The kitchen is big and very nice to cook in, and they do recycle! I love the hammocks and the pool. Really best hostel ever. And the owner is so nice, and so is his cutie dog

    Quiet location Comfortable room King Louie (friendly dog) made sure we were always back safe and was just so cute. It’s really good to stay in Picnic Bay as it’s the start of the bus line so you can always get a seat on the bus. Make sure to bring food to the island as you’re a long way from the IGA (but there are some supplies for sale at the accommodation).

    Probably one of the best budget accommodations in Australia : cleverly conceived, small but pleasant rooms in a lush garden with a sink, a very efficient fridge and a flat-screen TV. The shared bathroom, big common kitchen and comfy lounge are all conveniently close to the rooms. There's even a lovely dog which you can take out for a walk. The location is great, close to the jetty and the bus terminal. The bus even stops in front of the hotel if asked.

    Great place to stay close to the beach and bars/restaurants, great connections for public transport to the rest of the island too. Clean and comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Adam is a great host, always made sure we were okay and was so helpful offering us the room until we found more permanent accommodation on the island. He also has the loveliest dog Louie :)
