Lovely room, small but has most things for comfort. Could have another cereal bowl, only one for two guests. Like the opening screening back sliding door for fresh air. Comfy bed, plenty of pillows. Good online communication, helpful and prompt.

We were here for a festival onsite so was very convenient. The bus stop was just outside and easy to get around the island. The grounds were nice. Our room needed some maintenance though. No shower screen door, drawers in wardrobe didn’t close. Staff were helpful but all reception was off site.

I liked the room it was nice and clean, the property is nicely looked after, nice bonuses like hot water and good water pressure also convince with the restaurant near by. Exactly what you'd be looking for if wanting to stay at Maggie for a few nights, the pricing for what you get is also quite good compared to other places

Great pool area. Restaurant was closed while we were there, but was right next to pool and looked nice. Futon in room was only place to sit to watch tv and was very uncomfortable, but we weren't at Magnetic Island to watch tv anyway. Kitchen had full size fridge, kettle, toaster and electric frying pan and all the crockery you might need.

Standard quality. Good bed and shower. Kitchenette was basic but quite functional. Good pool and on-site restaurant has well priced food and drinks. Tiered arrangement of room blocks is good for privacy but can be hard to get luggage up the back if you are not capable - trollies are available.

Dont stay here unless you like walking a hill climb with your luggage as you cant park even close to your room. As for the restaurant it was very clean and looked nice but approximately half the items listed on the menu were unavailable, this was on a Saturday night, very very disappointing. Paid for 2 nights and left after 1, that tells the story.

The AC sounds like a AK-47. I am waken in cold sweat every night with the sound of a Lamborghini Aventador engine at 9000rpm.On top of the defeaning noise, the average room temperature felt cold as a winter in Thailand.
