Great property with everything we needed and within walking distance to Horseshoe Bay. Does need screens on all back doors replaced as bugs are able to get in as they are all shredded at the bottom.

Cosy cottage

Moana cottage was a very accomodating clean and comfortable oasis and a 5 minute stroll to our Favorite bay. Morning and evenings we were greeted by the local wildlife at the back door. Moana was Private and cosy with no need for a car. Had everything we needed for our 5 day stay Including stubbie coolers and beach towels. Can’t wait for our next trip to Maggie!

Relaxing cottage nestled in the forest

We loved staying in the Moana Cottage on Magnetic Island. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including aircon in every room and nicely furnished. Seeing the wallabies and other wildlife meters away in the backyard was a highlight! Would definitely stay again.
