Headland House

Headland House is a breathtaking family home perched on Nobby Headland, offering commanding views that stretch across Picnic Bay, the serene waters of the Coral Sea, and all the way to Cape Cleveland and Townsville on the distant horizon. If the island had a house you wouldn’t want to leave, this would be it, with its perfect combination of space, privacy, and stunning scenery.

The home is fully self-contained, with a kitchen designed for culinary creativity or a convenient BBQ setup for relaxed gatherings. The exquisite pool is nestled among the island’s signature hoop pines and granite boulders, creating a serene and private oasis that perfectly complements the surrounding landscape.

Positioned above Picnic Bay, a private track leads down to the beachfront, where just a 2-minute stroll brings you to the quiet sands of Picnic Bay Beach and its iconic jetty. Headland House truly combines luxury, convenience, and the island’s natural beauty for an unforgettable stay.

This property is managed by Best of Magnetic, located across from the Nelly Bay ferry terminal within the IGA centre. Please contact them directly for up-to-date information on availability, pricing, and any other enquiries regarding this property.

WHAT WE LOVE

Perched Above Picnic Bay: Sitting high on Nobby Headland, the views stretch across Picnic Bay and the Coral Sea to Cape Cleveland and Townsville, with huge windows and timber decks designed to make the most of the outlook.

A Pool Among the Boulders: The private pool is tucked amongst Magnetic Island’s granite boulders and hoop pines, creating a pretty spectacular place to swim while looking out over the bay.

Space for Two or the Whole Crew: The clever pavilion-style layout means Headland House can work as a luxury escape for a couple or open up to five bedrooms for families and groups of up to 10.

Your Own Track to the Beach: Despite feeling tucked away on the headland, a private track takes you down to Picnic Bay Beach and the historic jetty in around two minutes.
