Such a cute place! Older buildings, but so much character!! And the Koala Park was amazing - great information and beautiful environment for the animals!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best place to stay on Magnetic Island!

Had a private ”cabin” and it was absolutely amazing, loved staying there. Really cozy environment, great location close to the beach and the bus stop, and you get to see so much wildlife. Bathrooms/showers and the kitchen could use a renovation but works fine. Most of the staff were friendly as well.

Had a fantastic stay in a glamping tent. Could have had more bedding as it was a little cool at night. Facilities were great. Hired a car but there is a bus stop out the front. Great social area with pool table. Lots of wildlife around. Would stay there again.

Unfortunately the staff on the front desk are not informed about the islands important information. They could not answer any questions we had for them. And the guy i spoke to the day before i arrived told me there was no comunal kitcken. And there was when i arrived/ which aslo is not on your website.

Loved it!!

Loved staying at Selina, such great accommodation in a beautiful setting. Only negative was that wifi was only available around the reception area so I had none in my cabin
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely stay in the cabin! Fridge and AC in the room which was perfect! Events on each night if you want to get involved. Close to a bus stop and walking distance to the beach. Staff were all lovely and helpful. The bathrooms were fine for us but not particularly clean even after their daily clean. Slight downside was guests do not keep the communal kitchen clean and a lot of the gas hobs don’t work. Would definitely recommend staying here in the cabins! I would not recommend staying in the glamping tent as they are currently being treated for mould.

Selina was great! We stayed in a family room. Nice clean room and very quiet. Staff members were all super friendly. Bus stop is right outside the property and property is walking distance to Horseshoe Bay. Live music during happy hour was great. Chill vibe and environment.

Last minute booking. An unexpected amazing surprise! A peaceful haven and a very welcoming team. Wish to come back!

4/10 Fair

Private room not worth it as incredibly noisy. Not cleaned (including bins, towels) for whole stay. Hostel grounds were nice (although cooking hard as no plates in kitchen and bin overflowing). The atmosphere at the hostel was very nice and staff on reception were nice (but WhatsApp line doesn’t seem to work at all). Pool nice and clean and general facilities in the hostel really nice. Great location.

Overpriced, paid double what it was 12 months ago and nothing was different
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Could do with refreshing a bit, kitchen too hot

Relatively clean and they're modernising a few things. Good access, although wrong location on Google maps. Water never gets hot so showers aren't pleasant however, and the door locks are weird. What's wrong with a key? Kitchen needs attention, and it's absolutely boiling in there, god knows how you'd cook anything there.

We stayed in the family cabin with our 4 children. We all enjoyed our stay. The room had its own toilet and shower, a small fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Though the bed had sheets and pillows, there was no blankets so we were a little cold during the night. The lounge area was popular with the kids, they loved the beanbags and hammocks. The pool area was well equiped with bean bags, hammocks and plenty of shade from surrounding trees. The bar was only staffed by one person on the Saturday night, so waiting for people to order food and drinks was lengthy. Bar staff also had to clear the floor from empty glasses and plates which also added to the wait. Karaoke was a great! The food was the biggest let down. And without sounding too harsh, it was pathetic what we got served. My son order the hummus and pita, the tiniest pot of hummus was served, it was ridiculous. The pita tasted stale. My salad was just some lettuce, small amount of cucumber and some chickpeas. A really crappy attempt for the price I paid. The burgers we order were also burnt to a crisp and it appeared the beef patty had been split in 2 to make the 2 burgers. The man working in the kitchen that night seemed like I was inconveniencing him by asking him dietary questions about the sauce, which he could not answer. Inconsistencies in the labelling on the menu left me confused. One item with garlic aioIi labelled vegetarian, another with garlic aioli labelled vegan?! Man working kitchen could not be certain.
