25.01.2022 How lucky are we to have iconic wrecks like the SS City of Adelaide to explore above and below the water here on beautiful Magnetic Island

24.01.2022 How lucky are we to call this home . Of all the places in the world to self isolate I think we really lucked out! . Check out this awesome video from our lovely DMT Kaspa @aghostslife making the most of her daily exercise whilst we wait to reopen our doors to you all again ... . #selfisolatinginparadise See more

24.01.2022 MEET THE JETSKI HIRE MAGNETIC TEAM. Andrew, Ash, Baxter (8 year old husky with a serious attitude), and their newest team mate, 10 month old Archer (who really ...runs the show and has been known to regularly throw a spanner in the works). These guys have lived here for 7 years now and absolutely live and breathe the island life. Isolation life for these guys has involved a lot of gardening and sensory play for Archer, how exciting! No wonder they can't wait to get back in the water haha! Photos via Ludic Creative Co. See more

24.01.2022 Midori, craig, Olivia, and David are some of our freshest open water divers. Thanks to instructor Jonno!! Celebratory drinks, anyone??!

20.01.2022 MEET THE SANDI'S ON MAGNETIC TEAM. Andy and Steph are responsible for (arguably) the best feed and view you'll have in Horseshoe Bay. Sandi’s has an unreal spot... just across from the beach with the coolest beer garden and an events calendar which is normally chockers! This pair haven't stopped in isolation, they're busy gardening (like everyone else) AND they've recently taken over the island operations for Magnetic Seafood (which is highly likely the reason Sandi's has the BEST island seafood).

What's that saying Rob runs the inn and Jen runs Rob? Haha! Photos by Ludic Creative Co. See more
