The Pines, Horseshoe Bay
Just a heads-up – there’s no public transport close by so having a car will make getting around much easier unless you don't mind walking !
The Pines is located in a residential street and is not suitable for groups or parties of any kind. This home is bordering on the National park so you may be visited by local wildlife.
The Pines is an architecturally designed, multi-award winning tropical home. Its unique design has been featured in numerous magazines and it gives a holiday with a difference:
Enjoy the smell of the natural bush and pine trees. Delight in the wide overhangs that bring the outside in, but which protect you from the excesses of the sun. Shower with no shower curtains or closed in cubicles.
Parents, close off the master bedroom area and soak in a bath on the patio deck with no bathroom walls to close you in.The house has been specifically designed for the tropics and minimizes the need for air-conditioning. Although all bedrooms are air-conditioned, excellent flow through ventilation and ceiling fans, in combination with a number of factors, negates the need for them in the rest of the house. The ocean and magical beaches are only a short drive away.
Bedding Configuration
Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 2 x Single Beds
Property specific note :
Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.
Schoolies or School leavers will not be accepted.

The villa lacks maintenance
The architecture is very beautiful, the location is ideal if you have a vehicule but the exteriors are neglected and the furniture has aged a lot. We won't be returning

Beautiful tree house escape
We had a wonderful time at the Pines and we will definitely be back. Backing onto the national park was a real highlight as we loved the wildlife. The house is fantastic and perfect for a young family, although could do with a bit of TLC around some of the fixings and blinds. Overall experience was great and can’t wait to go back.

This was truly a really amazing house to stay in. We loved all the open areas to chill. Everything we needed was there.
The Best of Magnetic property management were so friendly and helpful. Lovely team.
We would 100% recommend The Pines to anyone

Quiet and spacious. Designed for maximum air flow. A short drive to horseshoe bay. A small amount of maintenance required in the bedrooms. Otherwise it was great.
