Marguerites on Magnetic Pool Cabana

HollieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had the most enjoyable stay in Marguerites! The Cabana has literally everything we needed with Horse Shoe Bay with in a minute’s walk as well as all the other hiking trails and beaches at our doorstep. Not only was the place amazing so was Marguerite! She couldn’t not have been more welcoming and hospitable to us. Having her fresh chicken eggs and sourdough for our breakfast, letting us feed and get up close to the wallabies that wander the grounds and all her helpful suggestions! We most definitely will be back 😄

Sunshine Shack - The Little Beach Shacks

AdeleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a fantastic stay at Gloria’s place! The shack is very cute and has everything you need for a weekend or week away. Gloria has thought of it all - coffee, tea, cold water, towels, clean and comfortable bed linen, every appliance you need and much more. The shack is well located, close enough to Horseshoe Bay to make access to the beach and cafes easy, but also set back in a lovely quiet street. Gloria was also very friendly and considerate. She contacted us before our stay and soon after our arrival to make sure we were happy and settled. I highly recommend this Airbnb and very appreciative of everything Gloria has done to make this a pleasant stay!

Island Romance or Family & Pool

JaydenRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Perfect location being that its only 5 minutes from the ferry terminal. Close to great food! Perfect for a family or even just a couple who want a home away from home vibe! Perfect setting for a "wind down" holiday! Everything was clean and tidy and Andrew was fantastic to work with. Would not hesitate to book again in the future.

Rosie's Home

RachelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Thanks Romayne for letting us spend a month at your beautiful apartment. We loved it! The views of the strand and magnetic island are awesome, the birdsong in the morning spectacular and the flat is a great size as well with everything we needed for our stay… thanks for the chutneys too! They were delicious. We were lucky to have a month here but what awesome place to spend a week away in a comfortable space, walking up Castle Hill in the morning and swimming in the rock pool in the afternoon, a great way to return to life in Oz.. thanks Romayne from me and Joe.

Beachside Serenity

NarelleRating, 5 stars3 days ago

The accommodation was very comfortable. However, I chose not to use the pool because the apartments overlook it, which made me feel a bit self-conscious, and the water was also quite cold. Additionally, along the Strand, the noise from vehicles with loud engines and occasional yelling and screaming from the park nearby made me feel uneasy. I understand these issues are beyond the host’s control.

Island Cottages

KylieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a lovely short stay at the Island Cottages. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Simple, clean and well positioned. The air-conditioning was up to the task of dealing with the extreme humidity too! The space was roomy, clean and welcoming. Our hosts were thoughtful and genuinely considerate of our needs. A perfect stay for a simple beach holiday.

Samsara Holiday House includes Wi-Fi

NewRating, 5 stars4 months ago

My husband & I have stayed on Magnetic Island many times & always love it -Eleanor’s beautiful home was new to us. So peaceful sitting on one of several balconies watching/listening to teeming wildlife in the surrounding National Park. The house itself is fabulous with a lovely ambience. Having had a minor accident (not in the house!) I needed to rest an ankle for a couple of days - being in such a lovely situation holiday was not spoiled as it was a pleasure to just chill out in the house. Eleanor was a perfect host and I wish to thank her for letting us stay at Samsara.

Withanee

JulyeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

A great location for exploring Picnic Bay and the rest of the island! Thank you for allowing our pet to join us for a long weekend. It’s hard to find a spot on the island that will accept pets but is also conveniently located close to beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!
