    We were staying at Island Magic when the 17 December earthquake struck. The impact meant electricity, running water and gas were not available. Caroline and Damien were incredibly kind and gracious hosts, despite the damage sustained to their...

    Great location, having the reef out the front of our bungalow was also amazing. Staff were wonderful, view from the restaurant was beautiful. Our bungalow was comfortable and had everything we needed. Internet was also very good!

    The hosts Damien and Caroline are amazing. Super friendly and nothing was ever an issue. The snorkeling is some of the best in the world, just off the jetty! The bungalows are spacious and equipped with everything you need.

    Beautiful island feel to the very comfortable bungalows. Smaller quiet resort and being self contained bungalows with a bar and restaurant on site, there are many options for meals.
  • Louise

    Delightful and helpful hosts; great having a restaurant on site (average prices) as it was a beautiful spot but perhaps a bit isolated without a car. Jumping off the jetty right by the edge of the reef was fabulous, but unfortunately bad weather...

    So much goodness - but let’s start with the snorkelling. Walk 50 metres from your bungalow and you jump straight into the best snorkelling you’ve ever done. Greens, blues, purples, oranges - it’s better than anything you’ve ever seen. And no need...
