This lovely place is a piece of Magnetic Island's history, apparently a former recreational facility for soldiers. Unit 6 is a light-filled unit with steep stairs on either side, ceiling fans in every room, a very minimal, older kitchen and amazing views of the national park, generous courtyard and gorgeous pool. Luxury it isn't, but it is such a lovely space, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. ##### Katrine G.
