Welcome to Mango Treehouse, located on Magnetic Island in Far North Queensland. Magnetic Island is situated within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and is accessible via a 25 minute ferry or 45 minute barge from Townsville.

Getting Here

Townsville is the nearest metropolitan centre to Magnetic Island and can be reach by car, plane and the occassional cruise ship. You can fly direct from Sydney and Melbourne on Virgin Australia and Jetstar. From the airport, guests travel 10 minutes by car/taxi/shuttle to the Sealink Ferry terminal. From there, 18 ferries per day make the 25 minute trip across Cleveland Bay to the island ferry terminal in Nelly Bay. Guests who prefer to bring their own vehicle can book a transfer with Fantasea, who make 7/8 trips per day with the barge. The barge is great value for groups.

Mango Treehouse is located 1.2 km from Nelly Bay Ferry Terminal and along the bus line that travels to Picnic Bay. The nearest bus stop is on Mango Parkway – let the driver know and they will help you find your stop.

Things to See and Do

Magnetic Island has warm weather year-round – it is situated in the Dry Tropics region of northeast Queensland, meaning rain is infrequent, with the exception of monsoon season (late December to early April). The climate makes it the perfect place to find outdoor adventures, such as:

• Snorkelling/Diving
• Hiking
• Birdwatching
• Boating
• Jet Skiiing
• Fishing
• Golfing
• Tennis

Local Amenities

Magnetic Island has many of the local amenities (and perhaps a few more) to be expected in a regional area in Australia, including several grocery stores, a hardware store, bars, pubs, restaurants, a golf course, a bakery, buses, taxis, a police station and a post office. But one thing you won’t find on this island is traffic lights!
