Guest Reviews

• Jaimie (8/5): It was just what we needed as a place to crash after our friends wedding. - It had everything we needed Dark at night. The bed wasn’t very updated and needed more blankets as it was cold at night. The shower hot water ran out really quickly.
• Katherine (8/5): Just what I needed - Very clear instructions about checking in. Being able to leave my luggage prior to checkin at a secluded spot so I could arrive early and explore without dragging my luggage around. Also I appreciated the thoughtful touches in the room decoration to make it feel like I was at a tropical island holiday. There was everything I needed and it was very neat and clean. Close to the bus stop was good also. The entrance was a bit hidden and dark entrance way at night - a movement sensor light might have been useful as my phone had run out of battery and I didn't have a torch. Quite a walk from the ferry, but at least it was flat (no hills).
• Jana (9/5): Very cozy appartement - It was very clean, cozy and comfortable. We felt very much like at home. Had a little kitchen area including a stove , microwave and fridge. Location was 15min walk to ferry terminal and had coffee shops and some restaurant options right around the corner. Check in was easy and quick communication. We really enjoyed our stay!

• Larissa (9/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt in guter Lage in schöner Wohnung - Wir waren im SEA-Shell. Es ist eine schön ausgestattete, sehr süß dekorierte Wohnung in guter Lage in Nelly Bay. Die Bushaltestelle ist nah an der Unterkunft. Die Klimaanlage war angenehm ruhig, sodass man sie auch nachts laufen lassen konnte, was bei der warmen Temperatur sehr angenehm war. Das Bad mit der Dusche mit abnehmbarer Handbrause hat uns besonders gut gefallen. 😄 Zu den Wohnungen führt ein sehr schön angelegter Weg mit vielen Pflanzen. Der Safe, in dem der Schlüssel aufbewahrt wurde, klemmte zunächst etwas und wir dachten daher erst, dass die PIN nicht funktioniert, bevor wir es doch aufbekommen haben. Der Ventilator wackelte ziemlich, als wir ihn angestellt haben und wirkte etwas lose in der Decke, daher haben wir ihn lieber aus gelassen und lediglich die Klimaanlage verwendet.

• Samuel (4/5): Disappointing but ok - The location was good - right by Jungle Club for good coffee, shops and easy bus links everywhere. Having a mini kitchen was nice to be able to do some cooking there. Check in and check out was easy and we were able to store some luggage. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. The aircon was nice and the ceiling fan helped keep the room cool. I thought we had booked Sea-esta as I’m reviewing it, but upon checking in we were in sea-shell. It’s a different room without an oven. It was just a bit confusing and not particularly clear with my booking confirmation. The room is dirty - there were hairs in the shower upon checking in. There is mould in the bathroom - probably because there is a lack of ventilation. The extractor above the hob is not connected to anything so just blows the cooking smells around the room. The room did smell a bit when we checked in. The kitchen cupboard doors are coming off and it all requires a bit of maintenance. The pictures certainly do not do this room justice - they must’ve been when the room was new. The towels were new which was nice but left fluff all over you when drying. The pots and pans need updating - they were dirty and very old. We had to wash up everything before we used it. The biggest problem were cockroaches in our room. We killed 2 in the room. Overall it was disappointing but ok. Wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend.
• Constanza (2/5): Mala administración, no volveremos. - Espacio grande, habitación full equipada, decoración acogedora, baño grande con todo lo necesario. La cocina tenía de todo para cocinar y hornear. La chica del aseo fue muy amable. Lamentablemente no hay comunicación con el hotel. Nos enviaron la clave de acceso a las 6PM, y los detalles del wifi casi a las 8PM. Solo reservamos una noche por lo tanto no pudimos hacer uso de nuestra estadía completa. Lo peor fue que en la mitad de la noche una pareja de personas ebrias intentó entrar a la habitación diciendo que ellos tenían una reserva, estaban muy alterados insinuando que nosotros estábamos invadiendo su habitación. Intente por todos los medios reclamar con la/el dueño pero no hubo respuesta alguna. Una pena, la habitación está bien, pero no pudimos descansar por el miedo a que las personas ebrias entren nuevamente. Cero comunicación, muy mal administrado. No volveremos.
• Bob (9/5): -
• Alexander (7/5): -
• R Coelho (8/5): Enjoyable - Host was quick to attend to us and very amicable, the property is nice and hidden away, the kitchen came in handy and was fully equipped for full meals.
• Chantelle (1/5): - Nothing to add. Wouldn't book again. On arrival on the island realised the host double booked the room and decided to hand the room to an Airbnb booking instead of the booking.com booking that was made age's ago. We were then instructed we were "upgraded" which was a DOWNGRADE to SeaNely room which was a small loft with stairs to the bed..which was a matress on the floor with no space above the bed and bed only access from one side....completely uncomfortable for a tall and pregnant person. Host said "nothing they can do as guest are in the other room we booked and ohhh if you see the other room you would know this one is beter"....clearly implying that the photos online is then deceiving. The shower still had the hair from a previous guest in it. The electronic door lock looked like someone once before tried to break it open, but it did lock and work while we were there.
• Khadam (1/5): they never refund me what they owe me. - nothing dishonesty
• Vera (10/5): Mycket bra vistelse och fräscht rum. - Väldigt fräscht och fint, bra badrum och väl utrustat kök.
• Danni (10/5): -
• Abigaïl (10/5): -
• Tina (8/5): -
• James (7/5): A good budget option but I think could do with some improvements. A working bed should be a given. - Nice sized room with everything you need in it, Was walking distance from a bus stop with quick access to the beach. The bed was broken for our stay which made it noisy and uncomfortable, also the room felt like it could do with a deep clean but I understand it is a budget option. For bag storage we were told we could just leave our stuff out on a decking which meant anyone staying or even anyone decided to walk in off the street could access them because of no security which we didn’t feel comfortable with so ended up leaving the island early which was a shame.
• María (7/5): - La habitación era completa, con todo lo q necesitas. El acceso a la entrada era un barrizal. Al haber llovido y q no hay ni baldosa ni nada parecido, había q cruzar por una zona de hierba y barro. El mantenimiento de la entrada a la habitación se podría mejorar bastante.
• Marvin (9/5): - Sauberes kleines, hut klimatisiertes Zimmer mit Bad.
• Helen (9/5): -
• Mikołaj (3/5): - Place was very dirty, we couldn't have a proper rest because of that.
• Lydia (8/5): -
• Pablo Ignacio (7/5): - La cama La limpieza de los utensilios de cocina
• Guest (10/5): Recommend staying, Clean, good size, only 20 minute walk to main harbour or can get a bus. - Very clean, good wifi and space
• Amy (10/5): Clean, near a bus stop and welcoming! - Lovely apartment, very clean and spacious considering the size. The hosts provided all kitchen equipment needed, and even left a lovely welcome message. Hosts also really good with communication and gave clear instructions on how to get into the apartment. Loved our stay!
• Ruben (9/5): - Ubicación, a 1 minuto de la parada de Bus. Es bastante cómoda, limpia y acogedora. Volvería sin duda. Probablemente y debido a mi poca habilidad me costó trabajo dejar la llave en el cajetín al hacer el Check Out. No supe como cerrar la puerta tampoco.
• David (6/5): Not a flash place by any means but suitable for our needs. - Very old and dated. Clean but very tired looking. Didn’t stay long enough to form an opinion one way or the other. It was close to where we needed to be and conveniently located.
• Lana (10/5): -
• Juan María (10/5): -
• Georgina (10/5): - The property was gorgeous and incredibl3 value for money - we loved it! Also loved the hidden touches and how accommodating they were to us needing to check in slightly early :) Nothing!
• Anna-Maria (10/5): 10/10 - Oh absolutely great! Very clean and lovely Nothing - everything perfect
• Desiree (10/5): - Super süß eingerichtet und mit allem was man zum Kochen braucht. Anfangs hatten wir auch etwas Kommunikationsprobleme, was den Check-in anging. Wurde aber schnell geregelt. -
• Clare (10/5): -
• Thomas (9/5): Heerlijk verkoelend - Heerlijk ruim appartement met keuken en ruime douche. Centraal gelegen met alles op loopafstand bereikbaar. Al loopt de hoofdstraat vlak achter langs, toch geen enktlast van
• Bella (9/5): -
• Christine (9/5): Schöne Unterkunft in super Lage - Tolle Lage in Nelly Bay. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war total freundlich und auch der Check-in war unkompliziert. Wir haben sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade auf ein größeres Apartment bekommen.
• JULIAN (10/5): A beautiful accomodation, great hosts and amazing location. We’ve already recommended this to many friends. - It was so cosy, clean, quiet, pretty, lovely beach touches, and well appointed with everything we could need. There was nothing to not like!
• Chantal (8/5): Sweet cabin, good stay, room for improvement - The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood but close to many shops and Nelly Beach. The kitchen was well equipped for two. SeaEsta is the last cabin down the townhouse wooden boardwalk, with plants, flowering vines and birds. The bath towel was high quality(one each), but no hand towel, only one tea towel. We hadn't received our check in instructions but thankfully the host answered the phone quickly. There were little ants in the kitchen.
• Jacob (9/5): -
• Valentina (3/5): -
• Jusu (9/5): - Home like room
• trigueros (9/5): - Drilling noises and music at 7 a.m.
• Jay (7/5): -
• Donna (5/5): - Location was ideal Only 1 coffee sachel No milk Cleaniness was average Not impressed with other guest leaving their luggage on our porch, early morning whilst still in bed. Knocking on our door from 6am was not a good start to the day.
• nena (8/5): accommodation was very good, but just a little too far from bus stops for me. - Very comfortable and clean accommodation it was a little too far from bus stops and bus only ran hourly - I didn't have a car so had to use taxis
• Pierre-Arnaud (5/5): - Chambre très spartiate avec des équipements de mauvaise qualité, la pire depuis notre arrivée en Australie
• tomer (9/5): -
• Garth (7/5): Good -
• Mariana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lucie (8/5): Very good -
• Yao (10/5): Love Maggie island, definitely recommended for travellers to come and explore! - The hosts are super friendly, instruction to the location is simply to follow up. Room is beautiful, clean and has everything. This property is 2 mins walk to the beach/bus stop, 5 mins walk to a really nice coffee place and liquor store and super market. Very continent location.
• Stella (7/5): Good -
• Kari (8/5): Great Budget Friendly Accommodation - This was our 2nd stay here. It's great budget friendly accommodation in a good location. Short walk from the ferry, close to bus stops, food and bottle shop. Could do with a little TLC. Our kitchen tap was broken and just hanging there. Still worked though so not a huge issue :)
• Jessica (10/5): Very comfortable stay, private and great location - Location and comfortable living space Nothing
• Omal (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (10/5): Very cute and spacious little apartment room with a well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. W -
• Chris (9/5): Superb - Great value and location, lovely decor, room has everything I needed
• Ilona (9/5): Clean, quiet and beautiful little villa! - Cute and cozy apartment with almost everything you'd need during your stay. Everything was good, except for the kitchen tap being a bit broken, which made it hard to wash the dishes.
• Lily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fern (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Jahnee (9/5): Superb - Accommodations provided everything needed for a comfortable overnight. Room spartan but a good value. The bridge was washed out from recent flooding causing more expensive taxi rides to/from the ferry docks and restaurants. Property providers had no control over this but visitors should know that if they need other than bus transportation, the costs add up. MMS taxi service were prompt and courteous.
• Hannah (8/5): Very good -
• Elias (8/5): Very good - Cozy little cabin with good kitchen. Clean and tidy. A little walk from Nelly bay, other nothing
• Abbie (10/5): The stay was everything we needed and wanted, and I would 100% recommend and return if I ever go back. - We loved everything about the property, it was a great location, lovely space, had everything we need including air con, perfect perfect stay for a couple or two friends staying on magnetic island. We even met the owners who were so lovely and hospitable, they own Noodies Latin bar, which was so delicious and had such a nice vibe. Nothing!
• Bow (9/5): Superb - Very obliging hosts
• Tannis (8/5): Very good -
• Markus (8/5): Very good -
• Tavis (4/5): Disappointing - Good price. Air con was good. Decent location. Communication was good. Was not the cleanest. Some facilities were already broken/damaged. Smell of the room was not good - smelt like fish.

• Brendon (10/5): Hidden gem with the perfect Island feel - Cozy room with all the amenities you need for self containment. Decently sized, private ensuite. Modern decoration perfectly fitting for the feel of the island life style inside and entrance. Very quiet, no noise other then the beautiful sounds of the native wildlife. Will definitely stay again. Great location, Walking distance from ferry 1k. About 300m from bus stop.
• Andressa (8/5): Very good -
• Marie-laure (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (9/5): Perfect for my mini break to Maggie island - Had a great 1 night stay. The instructions were very clear on how to get the keys. The location was in a very quiet area and easy to walk to from the ferry or catch the bus. Not far from a foodworks / cafe. Really peaceful and quiet setting. Spacious and very comfortable sleep. Was great value and also would stay here again!

• Valentina (10/5): Perfect private space to enjoy, relax and explore Magnetic Island 🧲 - The place was magic 💎, a nice hide gem to stay chill and calm while you enjoy the island 🏝️ The little details mark the difference, you can tell that they love to live there and you feel welcomed. The apartment has everything you need to cook there and is very comfy. 2 min walk to the bus stop, perfect to just jump and start exploring. We definitely recommend 💯 That we didn’t want to leave hahaha.
• Marie (2/5): Would not bother to stay there again and would not recommend. - The location was good and on the bus line. Quiet surrounding. The bathroom was shabby, it did not have a door, so water spilled on the tiles. Other peoples conditioner left in the shower, no soap but empty soap bottle left in shower base, Tiles looks unclean, broken glass holder. We could not make a cup of tea or a coffee there after a long journey. No milk, no sugar. We could not find the entrance to the property. The garden unkept. Garden seat damaged and unpainted. Kitchen bench had coffee stains and marks.
