Bounce Magnetic Island and Koala Park - formerly Roamer

The hostel is in a beautiful setting in the forest and all the communal spaces were beautiful, the whole area felt very tropical. All the staff were very friendly and ran some great events. Nice to have the koala park attached which ran tours for an additional cost as well as free daily bird feeding. Having an en-suite in the dorm rooms was also a great bonus and great comfy bunk beds.

Beautiful private, hut style accommodation with very comfortable bed. Great to have mini fridge in room, ceiling fan, aircon and balcony. Pool was clean with hideaway hammock spots, kitchen served good food options. Staff very accommodating when they could. Bus stop outside the property to take you to/from ferry. Only a 3min walk to beach. Reminds me of Thailand 20yrs ago

Cool and quirky venue for a stay on Magnetic island. Short walking distance to horseshoe bay which has a couple of restaurants and a great sunset. We stayed in one of the double rooms which are really cosy, clean and have great aircon. There is so much wildlife (literally on your doorstep) including wallabies & birds. Nice area to socialise and a large pool. All in all an excellent place to stay and would recommend to anyone considering.

The staff were awesome, they went out of their way to interact with us as a family, making my two little ones 5 & 7 have a great time as individuals. Daughter attended yoga with Amy and made a new big friend, then karaoke. Both enjoyed joining other travellers in a fun Uno comp night. Great pool to relax by, bird feeding and bar/lounge area. Ranger Mike and his team for the Koala & meet the animals breakfast were awesome people. Selina's offers everything that is required though it is not for people who wish to stay in a cocoon and disassociate from others. This side of the island is island time, more laid back. The fort walk we spotted 5 Koalas alone the track, then did another walk from Arthurs to Florence Bay Beach for half a day, such an amazing real world experience for children to be in nature rather than going to a big city zoo or manicured fake resort island like Hamilton etc.

Selina’s is a beautiful hostel, friendly staff and cool activities especially the bird feeding. Kitchen equipment got an upgrade but some of the gas stoves are not working so at busy times it’s a bit annoying. Only really downside for me was the missing real blankets. They provide only a bed sheet, I’ve asked for a extra blanket but they are super thin. So I was sleeping in jumper and leggings and was still freezing, same for my roommate. Even if winter is only a short Periode the should prepare for the temperatures. All in all a really good hostel.
