The best stay!

The house definitely exceeded our expectations and pictures didn’t do it justice! The whole house was so clean, smelt lovely with infusers and the outside area is amazing!! The location is perfect with only a small walk down the road to the beach. Picnic bay just over the hill. It was just perfect and will be staying again!

Quiet and well equipped

This house was on a really quiet street but still a short walk to Nelly Bay. The bus goes right past the house which is so convenient. The yard is secure - we took our dog and she loved it. The outdoor space is perfect.

Home away from home

Highlights were: fantastic outdoor area in which to enjoy the view and birdlife, wifi and 3 TVs, and the thought gone into providing everything you could possibly need for a long stay. The decor, although very appealing, meant it was a little high maintenance to maintain cleanliness. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very spacious.

Lovely stay in Nelly Bay

We had a very comfortable base to explore beautiful Magnetic Island. The house was well-equipped with both indoor and outdoor seating and eating areas. Easy walk to shops and convenient bus nearby. The only thing I’d note is that the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms aren’t completely separate from one another (the wall doesn’t extend above the wardrobes so not sound and lightproof between them).
