I had such a relaxing stay at Selina Magnetic Island, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The rooms had this cute little hut vibe, and I loved hanging out by the pool. While the food options could use some improvement, it didn't take away from the overall great experience. With awesome staff and fun activities, it's totally a chill spot to unwind.

The hostel offered some nice facilities including tours and activities, but the kitchen cleanliness was a bit of an issue due to guests not tidying up. Paths could have been better lit for safety at night.
