Experience true waterfront luxury on Magnetic Island

With temperatures plummeting around Australia, we can’t think of anything better than a gorgeous island escape. And where better to experience true waterfront luxury than on Queensland’s stunning Magnetic Island?
From just $196 a night, you and five of your family and friends (that’s less than $50 per person!) can escape the icy winter and head north to this beautiful, spacious and modern property thanks to Airbnb. Just a short stroll to the beach, “The Terrace” is perfectly located – close to all the best restaurants, cafes, shops and bushwalking trails the island has to offer.
Located in the serene Nelly Bay, this holiday home is perfect for a family get away, with three air-conditioned bedrooms, a swimming pool and a huge, open-plan kitchen and living space. The large outdoor terrace is perfect for a BBQ and a couple (or more) glasses of wine overlooking the Magnetic Island Marina.
The island, situated just 20 minutes by ferry from Townsville, boasts some of Australia’s lushest greenery and incredible wildlife. If you’re lucky enough to make it up there, make sure you keep an eye out for koalas, wallabies and even whales.
