Summer House Magnetic Island
Summer House Magnetic Island is a beachfront hostel in Arcadia, set directly opposite Geoffrey Bay. Walk across the road and you’re on the sand.
Rooms are simple and social. You’ve got a mix of dorm-style rooms, female-only dorms, and private rooms, with shared or private bathrooms depending on how you want to stay. Lockers, curtains, air con and the basics are all covered, with communal spaces, a shared kitchen and a pool to use in between beach adventures.
From here, everything in Arcadia is within easy reach. The Geoffrey Bay Snorkel Trail sits right out front, the Bremner Point rock wallabies are a short walk away, and the elevated, accessible Gabul Way track runs along the bay. With bus stops right out front, access to the rest of the island couldn’t be easier.
You’re also close to a couple of island staples. Arcadia Bakehouse for coffee and something decent to eat, and Arcadia Store when you need to grab supplies.
It’s a straightforward base in a good spot. Beach out front, everything else easily accessible, and a social setup if you’re keen to meet people along the way.
