Fantastic motel and great for families/friend groups. We were a group of 8 staying in two family rooms, which was more than enough space. Pleasantly surprised about the ocean view from balcony, and staff were super accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Very clean and spacious with a lovely outdoor deck. The owner was very communicative and timely regarding any of our questions both prior and during our stay. The included breakfast was phenomenal as well! Would definitely return if on the island again.

    Loved the area.

    Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

    We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

    Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

    Picnic Bay is the quieter end of Magnetic Island with a lovely beach lots of birdlife and well cared for Mall area filled with shaded seating areas , magnificent Fig trees and a hotel which serves good food with bright cheerful service. There are other options for meals and more to be found in the other bay areas and the local bus service will take to all the beauty spots on the Island. If you want a relaxing holiday Picnic Bay is an excellent choice.

    This is the best appointed accommodation we have stayed in and Rod, our genial host has thought of everything and then some ! Modern and spotlessly clean Rosalita was a delight. Thank you Rod. Loved the.unusual bird calls in the early morning and the less busy Picnic Bay with its delightful beach.

    Janette the owner was lovely and was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. It is a really charming cottage that has lovely spaces in which to chill. Open plan, spacious, high ceilings, surrounded by nature, right near Picnic Bay. Can't go wrong :-)
