The Hostelz.com Review
Travellers is located on Picnic Bay, which has one of Magnetic Island's more attractive beachfront areas. The beach itself is equipped with a stinger net and has plenty of palm trees, which provide sun relief to the beach-goers.
The building is in fair condition, and the rooms are rather tired. Bathrooms are ensuite and most dorms have a balcony and are air conditioned. The hostel has a swimming pool, bar and common area, where music videos are played throughout the day.
One drawback is the resident turkey, which constantly pesters the backpackers eating food and excretes onto the pool table from its favourite perching spot above the TV. I stayed at Travellers over the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday and thought that we should eat the turkey in honour the holiday tradition (even though I'm not American).
Compared to some of the other hostels on Magnetic Island, Travellers is quiet and reserved. It is also a good distance from the island's main supermarket (40 minute walk). There is however, a small general store nearby, along with payphones and a few eateries. The neighbouring bar also serves food throughout the day and into the evening.
To get to the hostel it is a $4 bus ride from the ferry terminal, and the bus will drop you off right at its doorstep. As it turns out, Travellers is not the best place to watch the Rugby World Cup final.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
I can't believe that Travellers is going to be knocked down! I am so upset that I will never be able to revisit one of my favorite places in Oz! I went for a couple of days and ended up staying a month and working there and I met some of the best friends of my whole trip there!! What will happen to all the pictures on the board by the pool table?! I would love a souvenir! — Aileen from Glasgow (2005-09-11) The location is fantastic and the staff are just great, really nice! My trip was just for two days, but I stayed for almost three weeks. I miss it!!! Picnic Bay won't be the same without it. :-( — Esther Oliveros (2005-02-05) Magnetic Island was my favorite place in Oz. We came to Travellers expecting to stay for a day or two and ended up still there two weeks later, and working there! Great hostel, great people, amazing place. It's a shame its going to be knocked down. :( It will be sadly missed. — Nick W. (2004-10-20) I liked this place. The en suite bathroom was a little dilapidated but the staff were friendly and the bar had a good atmosphere. — Anonymous (2004-08-15) Magnetic Island is the place to live!!! — Robert "Dutchie" van den Berg (2004-07-09)
