Loved the area.

Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

Picnic Bay is the quieter end of Magnetic Island with a lovely beach lots of birdlife and well cared for Mall area filled with shaded seating areas , magnificent Fig trees and a hotel which serves good food with bright cheerful service. There are other options for meals and more to be found in the other bay areas and the local bus service will take to all the beauty spots on the Island. If you want a relaxing holiday Picnic Bay is an excellent choice.

A warm welcome on arrival. Great access to everywhere at Picnic Bay, close to bus stop for ferry and other island centres. Comfortable and spacious room with good facilities. Fantastic service from manager Jen, who drove us in pouring rain to the Nelly Bay clinic and waited to drive us back to the motel.

Very nice and quiet small villa with sea view, separated from the beach only by a small road. Well thought out floor plan with a small pool between the bedroom and the living elements. Picnic Bay is ideal to relax. Good restaurants and a great brewery on site. Well served by public bus.

Janette the owner was lovely and was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. It is a really charming cottage that has lovely spaces in which to chill. Open plan, spacious, high ceilings, surrounded by nature, right near Picnic Bay. Can't go wrong :-)

I have not stayed at Picnic Bay on Magnetic Island before & so after this experience, I will certainly go back to that part of the island. OK. Moreover Roxanne was terrific host. Provided you have a car or bike, then the position is terrific.
