Best island experience ever! If you are coming to Magnetic Island, this is the only place to stay. Between the Koala Park next door, the amazing social activities going on everyday, and the coolest staff on the island, the energy here is unbeatable. Everything is super clean and the facilities are 10/10!!

The private cabins were nice, air conditioning, fan and towels included. The grounds were really nice and spaced out. It was a quiet hostel because if that. Good bathrooms with hot water and good water pressure. Walking distance to horseshoe bay and bus stop right out the front. Reception staff were nice. Bar staff appeared annoyed if you broke up the conversation with their friends to order something. On site restaurant nice but $$.

Lovely and room was spacious and clean. Events in the bar every night and friendly staff - really helpful with changing my booking when my bus was cancelled. Horseshoe bay is quiet but peaceful. However it is the most expensive hostel I booked on the east coast and I’m not sure where the justification for the increased cost comes, as you still had to pay for the Koala Park and I couldn’t get a booking in the time I was there. Also no curtains on beds, which I’d expect for the price

Best hostel I’ve stayed in. Dorms are so clean and common areas are great. Even get wildlife (wallabies, possum, toad) up at the camp kitchen. So easy to catch the bus nearby as well.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and it was comfortable, clean and spacious! The facilities were amazing- the kitchen had so much storage/fridge space and the outdoor seating areas were lovely! It was in a great location and beautiful surroundings! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (including the rangers at the koala park)

Bounce was an amazing stop off on Maggie Island! Such a beautiful resort feel, great facilities and even better staff! Special shout out to Jess & Jeffrey who were amazing and helped me and really made my stay. The activities at Bounce were also great and such a cool vibe day and night, would love to come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Véritablement déçue par ce qui semblait être le « meilleur hostel » de l’île. Accueil minimaliste avec aucun conseil/recommandation du staff sur les sites à voir. Logement minuscule pour 6 personnes (je n’ai jamais vu un évier aussi petit) et les lits du haut sont collés au plafond… Mais le réel point négatif est le restaurant et le bar: les plats ne sont vraiment pas bons, je ne recommande pas de manger là bas! Tout est industriel (et trop cher!) Bref, surcoté alors qu...

Stayed here for 2 nights. While it is out the way for the island. It did have good facilities on site to keep you occupied. Pool, koala breakfast, bar. However I wouldn’t eat from the hostel. Some of the worst food I’ve had on my trip. Fish and chips so crispy nearly no fish inside. And a friend a burger where the mince was raw inside (and we don’t mind a burger pink) but this was raw.

Loved our stay, really different to other hostels, more likely felt like a resort. It is as well Social and the staff was really friendly. It was clean even though a lot of the facilities are outside and in the nature so you have to expect a few bugs! Short walk to the beach and a few cafes and a bus every hour, so just really great!

Soweit sehr gutes Hostel mit guter Ausstattung und netten Menschen. Leider waren auf meinem Bett kleine Tierchen, was vermutlich in den Tropen zu verhindern ist. Ansonsten Sauberkeit gut
