Weekend at Maggie
We arrived slightly earlier than planned but we're able to leave our luggage in the house so we could wander around the area. Great accommodation, awesome location, pool was great for a well earned swim at the end of the day. Will be back, if they will have us.

Good location and practical house
My daughter didn’t want to leave, she enjoyed the “Blue House” too much! And so did we :) Good location and very functional too!
We even found some kids books to read before going to bed which was great!

Great house in great neighbourhood
Horseshoe Bay is definitely the best place to stay on the island.
House was great, very convenient for the local bus and about a 15min walk to the beach.
House was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Very relaxing accommodation
I had a relaxing stay in your accommodation and would definitely stay at the property again, there were only two minor issues, the first is the smoke detector activated due to a flat back up battery but was resolved quickly even though it occurred on a weekend and I received a number of calls inquiring about the length of my stay with Cindy believing I should have booked out a day earlier than the booking I had made.

Magnetic Island retreat
Marvellous holiday house - open plan with big stacker doors opening the kichen/living room to the fabulous covered deck and onto the pool - totally dreamy! I wanted to pick up the whole place and bring it home. Lovely furnishings and very well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly presented, including the pool. Can walk to the beachfront easily and close to the bus stop too to take you around the island, The surrounding estate seemed a little bare at the start as there are vacant blocks, but we quickly got used to it, with friendly locals saying hi while walking their dogs, and enjoyed the benefits it provided of small kangaroos on the grass and lots of birdlfe. We loved it, highly recommended :)
