Bounce Magnetic Island

Bounce Magnetic Island

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Bounce. We were in a private cabin with shared bathroom. The bathrooms were clean, as was the kitchen. The staff were all very helpful and there were so many activities and events on throughout our stay, it was really good. The pool was great and it was fun having the hammocks around the pool. It would be good to have a bit more lighting around the toilets and on the path from the back huts to the bathroom."
