excellent value for money”

The hostel was in a lovely location at picnic bay, over the road from the bus stop with easy access to the rest of the island and a 2 minute walk to picnic bay beach and shops. The staff, especially the manager Brett, were friendly and always happy to share their local knowledge. We were visited by possums every night and rainbow lorakeets every morning out on the veranda and the rooms and communal facilities were clean tidy and well equipped. It was clear that everything had been recently renovated and the whole hostel felt like a great home away from home. The pool and bbq area was great for relaxing in. A wonderful stay overall and excellent value for money, I would definitely recommend a stay here when you visit Magnetic Island! Liana & Adam, 26, from western australia.

Exceptional”

Extremely clean, bathroom and showers are lovely (clean, powerful and hot). Shared kitchen area is good, accommodation is a 2 minute walk from Picnic Bay Jetty and bus stop and Anton was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend Cstay!

Perfect!”

This lovely little hotel was perfect! We were sad we only had 1 night there. We arrived after reception hours, and Anton left us a detailed note saying where our room was and information about the property. We caught up in the morning, and he was just the kindest and most helpful person. Lovely guests as well, they were very welcoming and showed us to our room! Everything was superbly clean, the room was comfortable and all the facilities were great. Set in the peaceful Picnic Bay, the location was lovely and near the bus stop to take you all over the island! Great value for money, and I will be coming back for sure!

Big up Anton ”

So I don't usually review but this deserves it. My partner and I stayed in the motel for 3 nights and loved it. We had the worst luck regarding the weather but Cstay is a pleasure to spend the whole day in. Everything is Immaculate, especially the kitchen, and as a chef It was a pleasure to cook in it on those cloudy and rainy days. The Wi-Fi is fast, the aircon is cold and the service is splendid. Would stay again for sure, cheers Anton!

Excellent cozy little motel”

This motel is in a quiet area of Picnic Bay, at the end of the bus line, 3 minutes walking to the bus stop. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is sparkling and well-equipped (even a French press!), the location is peaceful. Check-in and check-out are easy. There are all sorts of birds that hang out at the property, and there's a nice place to watch the sunset and sunrise on the beach from the pier, which is a 5-minute walk.

Great spot”

Bus stops outside. Good mobile coverage in Picnic Bay. Very clean room. Comfortable twin space. Management is awesome. Would definitely stay again.

just what we needed for our quick weekend get away”

we always have a great time when visiting the Island. Reasonably priced, very clean and tidy...friendly helpful staff

Excellent value for budget traveller”

'this Motel has everything you could ever want for if you are a solo traveller or a backpacker or a business person

Nice place to stay”

This was the cheapest place we found on the island for 2 people. It has everything you need. The location isn't the best but you get around easily by bus. Many restaurants nearby were closed though.

Great stay”

This is a great place to stay and great value for money. The manager is extremely helpful and will give you loads of advice on the island and what to do! Everything else was very high standard too.

Great place! ”

Pros: great place to stay , comfortable and with everything you need. The downside is that you need a car if you want to go to the best places around the island

Do yourself a favour and stay here!”

We’re a couple in our late 20s and have been travelling Australia for the past 8 months . This is without a doubt the best place we have stayed. The value, peaceful location and friendly atmosphere here is excellent. The owner Adam goes out of his way to help. We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 5. We‘ll be back for sure!

Great place to stay. Would be good to have fans in the rooms as the air conditioners are too noisy at night. Great location.
