The room was awesome, with a view on the pool and the ocean, it gave us the perfect relaxed holiday vibe. We even got a late check-out till 5 pm for free which resulted in a well needed hot shower after a sweaty walk to spot koala's nearby. Contact with Adam whent smoothless by sms and an envelop ready to pick up the key whenever we wanted.

Very clean and spacious with a lovely outdoor deck. The owner was very communicative and timely regarding any of our questions both prior and during our stay. The included breakfast was phenomenal as well! Would definitely return if on the island again.

    Loved the area.

    Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

    We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

    Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

    Picnic Bay is the quieter end of Magnetic Island with a lovely beach lots of birdlife and well cared for Mall area filled with shaded seating areas , magnificent Fig trees and a hotel which serves good food with bright cheerful service. There are other options for meals and more to be found in the other bay areas and the local bus service will take to all the beauty spots on the Island. If you want a relaxing holiday Picnic Bay is an excellent choice.

    Great location, hotel across road, never heard any noise from it, mall short walk away with a brewery, divine casual dining, pizza n pasta, and a place to enjoy breakfast and lunch, nice to sit and watch the water or after take a stroll down to netted swimming area, or along the jetty to fish. The resort is not large (thankfully) but well presented with a pool area, BBQ area. Also hires out vehicles. We have already booked to go back! Loved it!

    This is the best appointed accommodation we have stayed in and Rod, our genial host has thought of everything and then some ! Modern and spotlessly clean Rosalita was a delight. Thank you Rod. Loved the.unusual bird calls in the early morning and the less busy Picnic Bay with its delightful beach.

    I have not stayed at Picnic Bay on Magnetic Island before & so after this experience, I will certainly go back to that part of the island. OK. Moreover Roxanne was terrific host. Provided you have a car or bike, then the position is terrific.
