WHO ARE THE HOSTS? Your “real hosts” are Barb & David. We emphasise direct contact with guests, rather than via third‑party or large corporate management. We are committed to a personalised, boutique‑style glamping experience on Magnetic Island (Nelly Bay, QLD) rather than a large resort. What the hosts provide ? Our hospitality style We offer early check‑in (from 10 am) and late check‑out (until 5 pm) for a fee (subject to availability). We emphasise eco‑luxury, calm and grounded hospitality: Our website quotes guest feedback such as: “You can tell they mean it. Everything here feels intentional — not curated for a feed, but created for people.” We provide a “personalised welcome email” and an “exclusive insider guide to Magnetic Island” after booking. The property is described as “eco‑certified” and designed to minimise environmental impact. We, the hosts, are supportive of sustainability goals. Eco Structures Things to note / tips Because the hosts emphasise direct contact and boutique feel, expect a more intimate stay (less a big hotel vibe, more tailored). If you want early check‑in or late check‑out, best to request it at the time of booking, since it’s subject to availability. They use a key‑lock box system for arrival after hours: the website explains how to operate the lock code, meaning self check‑in is involved. One guest review mentions the host (Barb) gave clear instructions for very late arrival and the tent was “beautiful, clean and well organised”. We aim for a relaxed vibe, however, expect our guests to respect the quality tents and environment.

If you stay at Magnetic Glamping, you’ll be lodging with hosts Barb & David who present a hands‑on, (with their team) personalised hospitality style, emphasising eco‑luxury, tranquillity and direct guest connection rather than a large resort machine. They provide helpful extras (insider guide, early/late check‑in when possible) and a thoughtful environment. 🏝 Setting & Landscape Nelly Bay is the primary residential and service hub of Magnetic Island. 🌿 Vegetation & Wildlife The surrounding hills and upland areas consist of dry-tropical eucalypt woodlands: bloodwoods, stringybarks, ironbarks, poplar gums. At lower elevations and near riparian zones there are littoral scrubs and some vine-thicket vegetation. Wildlife: The area includes habitats for species like the bush stone-curlew and the pied imperial pigeon. Magnetic Island Nature Care Association The foreshore has marine turtle nesting activity (green turtle, flatback turtle) and migratory birds using the beach/littoral zone. 🌊 Coastal & Marine Features There is a snorkelling trail accessible from Nelly Bay foreshore — so you’re quite connected to marine environment right from the bay. The bay is also the location of the ferry terminal / harbour area, meaning the environment is a mix of natural and modified/coastal-infrastructure. The region sees typical tropical wet-season/dry-season climate (wet Nov–Apr, dry May–Oct) impacting coastal and marine conditions. 🔍 What this means If you’re staying in Nelly Bay (eg at a glamping site or accommodation), you’ll have good access to services (shops, transport, marina) while still being close to natural beauty and walks. Magnetic Island Nature Care Association For nature-lovers: there are walking tracks starting from Nelly Bay into the hinterland and national-park areas. Eg the “Nelly-Arcadia-Junction Track” starts from Nelly Bay.
