“We had a wonderful holiday at Sue and Mels home. Magnetic Island is idyllic, we wanted a restful holiday and that was exactly what we got. The house was extremely comfortable and we felt very much at home. Sue and Mel could not of been more helpful and accommodating, lending their car to us and helping arrange trips out. We enjoyed walking on the island and time swimming in the sea from the near empty beaches, the reefs off the beaches being wonderful. Everyone we met on Magnetic island and in Townsville was friendly and helpful, the public bus driver even diverted his route to drop us at the ferry. We had never home swapped before, but don t think there is any way our experience could of been improved. A big thank you to Sue Mel and Lovehomeswap. ”

Acerca de nuestra casa
Our home is on beautiful Magnetic Island, a 15 minute ferry ride from Townsville, Australia's largest northern city, . We are only minutes from beautiful beaches, and the house is surrounded by a leafy tropical garden visited daily by our friendly family of kookaburras!
The house was designed by a Canadian and from the outside resembles a log cabin. However, the wide verandahs and many French doors, mean that the house is geared to tropical "inside-outside" living. You will be able to relax with a drink on the shady verandahs overlooking the pool, or enjoy swimming, diving, fishing, bush walking or just chilling out. For golf enthusiasts, there is a nine hole Golf Course within walking distance. Australia's world famous Great Barrier Reef is a boat trip away.
There is a well equipped kitchen, but also many cafes and eating places nearby for those not wanting to cook!
The Island bus stops at the end of our street and will take you anywhere you want to go. The climate is warm throughout the year, with minimums and maximums of between 20-30 degrees. All bedrooms are air conditioned but you will probably prefer opening doors and windows to the tropical breezes.
Magnetic Island (Maggie) was discovered by Captain Cook, and has since attracted tourists from all over the world, although the atmosphere is not commercial, but friendly and laid-back. People finding Maggie tend to return many times. Or, like us, you give up and live here. A true case of magnetic attraction!

Reseñas de Sue
Como anfitrión ES: (3)“Sue and Mal were very relaxed and it was easy to communicate with them. Their house was in a lovely location set amongst a lovely tropical garden and a fabulous pool. The house is very comfortable and has three bedrooms each with a bathroom. It has everything you could possibly need, even a family of kookaburras who will eat off your hand. The island has stunningly beautiful beaches, great walks and a wide variety of activities on offer. The people are really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Magnetic Island as holiday destination.”
“Our trip to Picnic Bay was wonderful, the house exactly as pictured and all very clear and tidy. Sue was a great communicator who helped us get the most out of our visit. The island is a naturally beautiful place, and we easily occupied 2 weeks there. September and October is a magical time to visit! Take your walking shoes, as there are many wonderful walks to secluded bays that are not too long for kids (30 mins or so).”

Where is it?
Vecindario
Magnetic Island (Known by locals as "Maggie") is a beautiful tropical island with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef.
It is an easy 20 minute ferry trip from Townsville, unofficial capital of far north Australia. Maggie offers a relaxing holiday suitable for families and those who want a quiet escape, away from more commercial places, although there are plenty of appealing restaurants and pubs for those who want a break from household chores.
The scenery is dazzling and the locals (both human and animal) are friendly and approachable.
