The villa's are in Nelly Bay close to the ferry. We stayed in villa 6 next to the pool. The villa was very spacious with two bed rooms, two bath rooms and laundry. The pool was small but good and hardly any one else. Walking distance to the supermarket and some restaurants. We stayed in December so no swimming possible... More

While everyone acknowledges what a beautiful place... More

Came here with my husband for our honeymoon earlier this year. I have to say- the place is stunning. It's in a quiet location but things are easily accessible (nearby eateries, foodworks, massage place etc). The bungalow was very clean and everything worked fine. The only minor problem was that the en suite toliet was running everytime it got flushed... More

I recently stayed in Villa 3 at Pure Magnetic,and think the previous review was very harsh, what absolute magic they are spacious comfortable and very clean. We certainly did not have any issues with any electricals as per a previous review. Pam picked us up from the terminal and was extremely pleasant and professional and very knowledgeable about the island.... More

We were intially impressed with the beautiful villa 3 with its balinese feel. However within 20 minutes of arriving our 4 year old grandson turned off a lamp which was on when we arrived and the electric cable came off, causing a huge spark. Luckily he was not electricuted, but this gave him a huge fright and left a black... More

I stayed in villa 1 and while it was beautiful there were lots of maintenance issues, some were minor but others impacted the enjoyment of our stay. For example the bed was so squeaky that if you rolled over, it squeaked loud enough to wake my partner up, not very romantic! It was also really uncomfortable. The bed frame needs... More

Stayed at Pure Magnetic for four nights from 9th August till 13th August. We stayed in Villa number 7 which was very spacious, well equiped with everything you would need. The Villas and the complex are full of tropical Balinese character. There is a very nice pool and you are only a few seconds walk to Nelly Bay Beach which... More

Stayed in villa 1 for 5 nights. The view from the front deck was sensational. A very relaxing holiday destination with a layed back atmosphere in a very natural setting. Pure Magnetic has a real Balinese feel. Some slight issues with non functioning shutters , air conditioning ,squeaky bed and dodgy lights were the only downers but management was able... More

Beautiful and new chales, beach front, space, privacy and quietness. Magnetic island hasn't got many accommodation options but even if it had I doubt anyone could find a better place to stay. Keep in mind that this is a self catering chale so don't expect room service and be prepared to leave it reasonbly tidy - for us that wasn't... More

This villa is everything that the website says. It is well equipped and reminiscent of balinese villas, from the imported furniture to the beautiful tropical garden. We had Villa 1 across from the beach, if it is not windy is worth it, however if windy you get a gale force type effect, whereas we noticed if you had a Villa... More

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights with friends. We had a fun, relaxing time here. The good: The bungalow (I would not call them villas) was very spacious with two beds and baths, large kitchen, dining room, living room, and patio. It has tasteful Balinese-style decorations, was clean and comfortable with decent cooking supplies, cozy lighting and... More
