The location of the unit is great with the pool located directly in front of the unit, the southern end of the strand right out front of the complex, public transport on the corner and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and local shops. The unit itself was well equipped and clean. The owners were responsive and happy to help. Upon entering their was a lovely welcome basket with Bacon, eggs, butter, jam, bread and milk, everything you need to settle in and not have to immediately rush out to the shops. I had a lovely restful stay.

Samsara Holiday House includes Wi-Fi

NewRating, 5 stars5 months ago

My husband & I have stayed on Magnetic Island many times & always love it -Eleanor’s beautiful home was new to us. So peaceful sitting on one of several balconies watching/listening to teeming wildlife in the surrounding National Park. The house itself is fabulous with a lovely ambience. Having had a minor accident (not in the house!) I needed to rest an ankle for a couple of days - being in such a lovely situation holiday was not spoiled as it was a pleasure to just chill out in the house. Eleanor was a perfect host and I wish to thank her for letting us stay at Samsara.

A great location for exploring Picnic Bay and the rest of the island! Thank you for allowing our pet to join us for a long weekend. It’s hard to find a spot on the island that will accept pets but is also conveniently located close to beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!
