This property was very comfortable and filled with extras such as a coffee machine, pods, tea bags, milk and shower products. There was a tv and comfortable lounge area. You could use the washing machine and laundry detergent for free. There was plenty of space and somewhere to park your car. It has been the best place we have stayed traveling by far especially considering the price point. The host was so helpful and kind with recommendations. It was a true holiday destination. Picnic bay is a quiet area however it has a local brewery and Italian restaurant within walking distance. We hired a car across the road to explore the island but it is not necessary as the bus stop is nearby.

Fantastic motel and great for families/friend groups. We were a group of 8 staying in two family rooms, which was more than enough space. Pleasantly surprised about the ocean view from balcony, and staff were super accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

    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.

    I had a wonderful stay at Rob & Jen's! The room was spotless, had everything I needed and was so spacious. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. The resort is in a great location, just a 2 min walk from Picnic Bay beach, restaurants and cafes and the bus stop if you need it. Rob had great tips about the island and gave me some great recommendations for hikes, beaches and restaurants. Wonderful customer service!

    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.
