The tour desk provide Magnetic Island maps, help book Great Barrier Reef tours, Museum of Underwater Art diving and snorkelling trips and local tours experiencing the fringing reef and land based adventures. I loved my stay in the Bounce hostel. On my arrival (on a Sunday) they had a pizza night and a dj playing good music in the pool area, which was the perfect welcome for me. Great layout, immersed in the nature. If you are lucky enough you can spot koalas in the trees just around the hostel, wallabies and obviously possums. I found the kitchen never overcrowded and always clean. Good vibes, great staff. I would recommend this hostel 100%

Facing the beachfront, CStay offers 2-star accommodation in Picnic Bay and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and shared lounge. Featuring a sun terrace, this property is located near attractions such as Rocky Bay Beach. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are provided.

Rooms are complete with a shared bathroom equipped with a shower, while certain rooms at the hostel also provide guests with a seating area. A stones throw from Picnic Beach and some great restaurants, bus stop was just as close! Quiet and cosy, but also a great way of meeting other travellers. The owners dog, Louis, was at the property everyday and was a great company to all! Was very sad to say goodbye. Will definitely be back!
