Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island is the only island on the North Queensland Coast with a delightful blend of untouched National Park, a resident population of about 2,500 and a variety of holiday resorts.

Although in the Tropics, the Townsville area is in a rain shadow which makes it the sunniest city on the Queensland coast.

The range of activities available on the Island is both wide and varied. Whether young or old, seeking active pursuits or relaxation, there is a selection for everyone.

Take a day trip to the beautiful Magnetic Island, located less than 20 minutes from Townsville city by high speed passenger ferry.

The ferry departs up to 14 times daily from Breakwater Terminal which is a lovely 15 minute walk from the hotel.
