Roamer Magnetic Island Koala Park

Roamer Magnetic Island Koala Park (formerly Selina Magnetic Island) has won the award during the HOSCARS 2024 “Best New Hostel in Oceania'

Located on Magnetic Island, 8km offshore from Townsville, Queensland, Roamer is picture perfect tropical paradise. Sitting just a 5-minute walk from Horseshoe Bay, explore the breathtaking landscape by water with a snorkel or kayak or venture to one of the island’s other 23 bays. Take your trip to new heights on local hiking trails to admire the views or book a tour round our on-site wildlife park, learning about and meeting local Aussie animals.

In addition to a range of beautifully-designed accommodation including camping, on-site features include a swimming pool, wellness deck, CoWork, outdoor bar, pool table and a unique on-site wildlife park.

Wake up with a wellness class and a locally-sourced breakfast before heading out to enjoy the island. Wander along beautiful bays, diving into the depths with a snorkel or kayaking along crystal-clear waters. Feeling ambitious? Hit the local hiking trails and get your blood-pumping - you’ll be rewarded with some spectacular views! If you want to keep it closer to home, explore our on-site wildlife park, where the true Aussie locals will be waiting to meet you including turtles, koalas, wombats and crocodiles. After a day spent in the wild, take a moment of calm at Selina to relax by our pool and watch the sunset with our global community.
