"Weekender QLD" island stay of choice.

In April 2026, Channel 7's Weekender QLD chose Magnetic Glamping as their island stay of choice.

The offer

Comfort, and the quiet to enjoy it.

You arrive depleted. Most stays don't help: hotels are noisy, resorts are busy, and camping asks you to give up comfort.

Magnetic Glamping is built around one idea: real rest, without roughing it.

Eight eco-certified safari tents, each its own private space. Proper beds, air-conditioning, a private bathroom, a deck of your own. A magnesium pool and tropical gardens. Unlimited Starlink WiFi: there if you want it, easy to ignore.

Is it right for you?

Is Magnetic Glamping right for you?

Magnetic Glamping suits couples and small groups who want to slow down, not fill every hour. If you're after quiet mornings, a magnesium pool, and island time at your own pace, you're in the right place. We're not set up for large events, schoolies, or big groups looking for a party atmosphere, for that, the island has plenty of other options.

The feeling

You switch off because you want to.

Quiet is the design here, not an accident. A deliberately small number of tents means it never feels crowded.

Guests tell us the same thing, again and again: it felt like switching off the world.

Eco Certified Ecotourism: Ecotourism AustraliaThe proof

Eco, without the compromise.

ECO Certified by Ecotourism Australia. Independent proof that the way we operate (Eco Anchor foundations instead of concrete, a BioCycle wastewater system, low-energy and water-wise design) genuinely looks after the island you came here to enjoy.

For guests, that's the quiet reassurance: your stay leaves this place better than it found it. None of it costs you comfort.

Accessibility is designed in, not bolted on: Tent 7 is a specially-designed accessible tent.

Guest stories

"An amazing weekend getaway. Super close to the ferry terminal, cafes and shops but still feels secluded and very peaceful. Lovely hosts, comfy beds, beautiful room."

"The most peaceful place we've stayed in Australia."

"Watching the sunset over the granite boulders with a glass of wine… then falling asleep under a sky full of stars. Magnetic Glamping is something truly special."

The island

A world away, a ferry ride from home.

Hidden beaches. The Forts Walk. Snorkelling straight off the sand. Or the magnesium pool and nothing at all. Your days, your pace.
