Last Listing description (February 2026)

Positioned within the lush, established grounds of Amaroo Resort, this renovated, fully furnished studio apartment presents a highly appealing low-maintenance investment with multiple income options-and the added bonus of personal island escapes in between bookings.

Located in the heart of Nelly Bay on beautiful Magnetic Island, just a scenic 20-minute ferry ride from Townsville, the property suits a range of strategies. Owners may participate in the on-site management rental pool, operate independently via Airbnb or similar short-stay platforms, or enjoy a flexible combination of both-allowing the apartment to generate income while remaining available for your own stays.

The renovated, self-contained open-plan layout includes air-conditioning, a practical kitchenette with overhead cupboards, stone benchtops and convenient dining/study nook, and a separate bathroom-features that consistently perform well in the short-stay market. A private front patio opens to tranquil tropical gardens, further enhancing guest appeal.

Set across 8 acres of lush manicured tropical grounds adjoining National Park, the resort environment is a strong and enduring drawcard for visitors, with koalas, birdlife and rainforest walking tracks delivering the authentic Magnetic Island experience guests seek.

Resort amenities support strong occupancy and guest satisfaction, including a resort-style magnesium lap pool and spa, on-site restaurant, two tennis courts, BBQ areas, children's playground and conference facilities.

Importantly for investors, electricity and internet are included in the body corporate fees, significantly reducing holding costs and simplifying cash-flow management.

Adding further convenience, the property is located directly opposite a bus stop, providing easy, regular transport to the ferry terminal. This seamless connection ensures effortless commuting across Magnetic Island, making the studio especially appealing to holiday guests, car-free visitors, and investors seeking strong accessibility and broad rental appeal.

With close proximity to shops, cafs and beaches, this renovated studio represents excellent value for buyers seeking a flexible, lifestyle-driven investment-where income, simplicity and personal enjoyment combine in a true Ocean to Acres opportunity.
