Amazing quiet beachfront location. We visited during stinger season and Nelly Bay does not have a net or lifeguards however there is a lovely pool at Pure Magnetic and Picnic Bay and Horseshoe Bay are not too far (10 min drive). The villas are also on the bus route which is very handy! I would not hesitate recommending Pure Magnetic.

Located about 5 minutes by taxi or transfer from the ferry terminal on Magnetic Island, this was an exceptional layout and quality of a 2 BR apartment. Good balcony for entertaining, heated pool and parking at the rear if you choose to bring or hire a car. Ensuite in the main bedroom and separate bathroom for the second. Only minor... More

We found the accommodation clean, in working order and generous in size and facilities. You are provided with lots of linen, towels, soaps and kits. Customer service was excellent and we had no issues with booking. The pool is lovely and the temperature is set at around 27 degrees which made it pleasant to swim in especially as it was... More

The villa's are in Nelly Bay close to the ferry. We stayed in villa 6 next to the pool. The villa was very spacious with two bed rooms, two bath rooms and laundry. The pool was small but good and hardly any one else. Walking distance to the supermarket and some restaurants. We stayed in December so no swimming possible... More

Came here with my husband for our honeymoon earlier this year. I have to say- the place is stunning. It's in a quiet location but things are easily accessible (nearby eateries, foodworks, massage place etc). The bungalow was very clean and everything worked fine. The only minor problem was that the en suite toliet was running everytime it got flushed... More

I recently stayed in Villa 3 at Pure Magnetic,and think the previous review was very harsh, what absolute magic they are spacious comfortable and very clean. We certainly did not have any issues with any electricals as per a previous review. Pam picked us up from the terminal and was extremely pleasant and professional and very knowledgeable about the island.... More

We were intially impressed with the beautiful villa 3 with its balinese feel. However within 20 minutes of arriving our 4 year old grandson turned off a lamp which was on when we arrived and the electric cable came off, causing a huge spark. Luckily he was not electricuted, but this gave him a huge fright and left a black... More

I stayed in villa 1 and while it was beautiful there were lots of maintenance issues, some were minor but others impacted the enjoyment of our stay. For example the bed was so squeaky that if you rolled over, it squeaked loud enough to wake my partner up, not very romantic! It was also really uncomfortable. The bed frame needs... More

Stayed in villa 1 for 5 nights. The view from the front deck was sensational. A very relaxing holiday destination with a layed back atmosphere in a very natural setting. Pure Magnetic has a real Balinese feel. Some slight issues with non functioning shutters , air conditioning ,squeaky bed and dodgy lights were the only downers but management was able... More
