Island Cottages
Tucked away in a quiet pocket of Nelly Bay, Island Cottages offers relaxed island accommodation surrounded by lush tropical gardens. These fully self-contained 2-bedroom cottages are an easy option for families, couples, or longer stays, with everything you need to settle in and enjoy Magnetic Island at your own pace.
One of the best things about staying here is the location. You’re just a short stroll from the Nelly Bay esplanade, the playground, marina, supermarket, pharmacy, bottle shop, cafes and restaurants. Morning coffee runs, sunset walks along the waterfront, or dinner by the marina are all within easy walking distance. It’s also a great base for exploring the island, with many of Magnetic Island’s tours, activities and hire options nearby and easy to access.
Each cottage includes private parking, plus the added bonus of an EV charging station. If you’re travelling without a car, the regular island bus route runs nearby, making it easy to explore the beaches, bays and walking tracks across the island.
Simple, comfortable and close to everything, Island Cottages makes a great base for your Magnetic Island stay.
