"Weekender QLD" island stay of choice.

In April 2026, Channel 7's Weekender QLD chose Magnetic Glamping as their island stay of choice.

01. The offer

Comfort, and the quiet to enjoy it.

You arrive depleted. Most stays don't help — hotels are noisy, resorts are busy, and camping asks you to give up comfort.

Magnetic Glamping is built around one idea: real rest, without roughing it.

Eight eco-certified safari tents, each its own private space. Proper beds, air-conditioning, a private bathroom, a deck of your own. A magnesium pool and tropical gardens. Unlimited Starlink WiFi — there if you want it, easy to ignore.

02. The feeling

You switch off because you want to.

Quiet is the design here, not an accident. A deliberately small number of tents means it never feels crowded.

Guests tell us the same thing, again and again: it felt like switching off the world.

Eco Certified Ecotourism — Ecotourism Australia03. The proof

Eco, without the compromise.

Eco Certified Ecotourism. Built light on the land — our tents sit on Eco Anchors, not concrete. None of it costs you comfort.

And accessibility here is designed in, not bolted on: Tent 7 is a specially-designed accessible tent.

04. The island

A world away, a ferry ride from home.

Hidden beaches. The Forts Walk. Snorkelling straight off the sand. Or the magnesium pool and nothing at all. Your days, your pace.
