Family get away

We loved this cottage. It was just the right size; not too big or small. It was just the right balance between shack and having all the creature comforts. We would definitely stay here again. 😊

Great Cottage

Our family of Mum, Dad and four adult children had a wonderful stay at Picnic Cottage. Everything we needed was supplied, beds comfy, air con efficient and deck and bbq got a work out. Only a small matter of poor internet and phone coverage that troubled some, but i loved it xxx

Surprise Birthday For Mum

Property was beautiful, my wife loved the house at first site. Was even more surprised while sitting on the deck having a snack and a couple drinks to see all 3 of her sons walk in to say surprise and happy birthday. The house and the Island had everything we needed for the weekend. Will defiantly book this house again and recommend Picnic Cottage to anyone visiting Magnetic Island.

Stayed in the Cottage for 2 nights in July. Property is very well looked after and maintained. Bus

Stayed in the Cottage for 2 nights in July. Property is very well looked after and maintained. Buses stop literally on the doorstep which makes accessing anywhere on the island a breeze! Would stay here again!
