Grand Mercure Apartments Magnetic Island

Just off the coast of Townsville, Magnetic Island is a quick 25-minute ferry ride away and an adventurer’s dream. Over half of its stunning 52-square kilometres is designated as a national park, offering scenic coastal trails, breathtaking lookouts, towering gum trees with snoozing koalas and vibrant turquoise waters. Please note that ferry transfers are included only in select packages, so plan accordingly.

The ferry departs from Breakwater Terminal in Townsville, which is a 15-minute drive from Townsville Airport (TSV), and takes approximately 20 minutes to reach Magnetic Island.
