The dining menu was quite limited to toasties and pizza, and I would recommend bringing your own food. The need to rent dishes for $5 was surprising and inconvenient.

The facilities had potential, but there were some shortcomings. The kitchen was small and overly hot, and it lacked sufficient cooking utensils. I appreciated that they offered car hire, tours, and laundry services, but some of the amenities felt underwhelming given the price I paid.

My stay at Selina Magnetic Island was a mixed bag. On one hand, I loved the beautiful location near Horseshoe Bay and the friendly atmosphere. However, I encountered some issues with check-in timing and room cleanliness that left me feeling frustrated. Overall, I enjoyed the experience but noticed some areas needing improvement.

Rooms

I stayed in a bungalow which was lovely, but the mattress was thin and the pillows felt lumpy. The lack of curtains in some rooms also made it less ideal for privacy.

My stay at Selina Magnetic Island was a good experience overall, with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. While the facilities were generally clean and pleasant, I did find some areas needed improvement, particularly the kitchen's equipment.

I had an amazing stay at Selina Magnetic Island! The wildlife interactions and relaxed vibe were highlights for me. While the resort was undergoing some refurbishments, which meant a couple of facilities were out of order, I had a fantastic experience overall. I'll definitely be back, but I wouldn't mind a discount for on-site tours during my next visit.
