Welcome

Have you always dreamed of enjoying a tropical island life-style? Well, we would like to welcome you to Travellers Hideaway budget accommodation on amazing Magnetic Island! Just a 20 min Ferry ride away from Townsville, the capital of Tropical North Queensland, you will find our small and comfy hostel in Picnic Bay.

Most backpackers say staying with us, with our great, cozy atmosphere, is just like staying at a friends place. With all day funky tunes and friendly staff it's a great place to chill out and relax. Take a break from your busy backpacker's life and recharge at Hideaway for a while, before you move on to the next party place…

Are you sick and tired of sharing a room with ten others? In our 3 and max 4 share dorms, doubles and twins, you will have your own space and privacy. All the rooms are air-conditioned so you can keep nice and cool during the lovely hot days.

Are you travelling by yourself or want to meet new friends? We provide a comfortable lounge and garden area with cool swimming pool. And we'll make sure we hook you up with the right people, so you can share a Barbie (BBQ) or watch a DVD together.

It is only a 1 minute walk to the beach, with all year round swimming enclosure, the jetty with plenty of fishing opportunities and the bars, restaurants and cafés.

We will look after you and make sure you have a great time! Our reliable and helpful staff are always willing to share their local knowledge with you and book great island tours for you. We will give you a free map of the island and tell you where to go for beautiful bush walks and other activities.
