Enjoy our very attractive outdoor swimming pool (heated in the winter months for your comfort), play half-court tennis or table tennis, stroll along Nelly Bay beach which is only 150m from the apartments. If you are after a fun filled family holiday or a peaceful couple’s getaway, Island Palms is the perfect Magnetic Island Accommodation for you. Magnetic Island is a distinctive granite based island of 5,000 hectares with an abundance of flora and fauna, palm fringed beaches, 24km of walking tracks, many hilltop lookouts and unspoilt National Parkland. The island offers a nine-hole golf course, lawn bowls, trail rides, hire fishing boats, catamaran sailing, hire vehicles, motor bikes and push bikes. There is a wide variety of restaurants and the supermarket is just 5mins walk away. The resort offers a poolside barbecue, spa, rooftop sundeck, half-court tennis, bikes and direct access to the beach where you can snorkel and use the kayaks. The resort's twelve self-contained apartments are spacious and light, and designed to take full advantage of the stunning views. All are fully furnished, with accommodation for up to six people in two bedrooms, both with ensuite bathroom. Air conditioning, colour TV, radio, washing machine and dryer are, of course, included. Of course the magnificent Barrier Reef is the biggest draw card, offering endless leisure possibilities, including boat trips, snorkelling, scuba diving, jet skiing, and sailing, just to name a few. All this and more, only twenty minutes by regular ferry from Townsville! Much of the island is National Park, meaning plenty of wallabies, possums and koalas to see for the kids and prolific bird life for nature enthusiasts. The park itself can be explored on bikes, horseback, or foot, via the 24km of walking trails. For the less energetic there are always a few rounds to be played on the nine-hole golf course.
