Guest Reviews

• faustine (10/5): Un coin de paradis dans un paradis - L'emplacement est dingue, c'est un coin de paradis dans un paradis!! Pensez à louer un scooter ou une voiture pour être autonome, mais tout se fait très bien en bus, il suffit de prendre le temps ! Le logement est super bien équipé ! Je suis en backpack et j'ai pu ranger mes affaires, il y a plein de place pour ranger, c'est tellement agréable au cours d'un voyage !Le propriétaire est très disponible et super sympa :) Il m'a fait une remise sur la location du vélo, c'était top pour aller faire le sunset au bord de la plage et se promener ! Je me suis sentie comme chez moi, j'ai prolongé mon séjour d'une nuit, je ne voulais plus partir !
• Julia (4/5): Schechtester Schlaf auf der ganzen Reise - Tolle Dusche, praktisches und sauberes Bad. Nette Terrasse, wenn auch ziemlich verwuchert. Die Handtücher und die Bettwäsche haben muffig gerochen, als wären sie nicht gut getrocknet worden. Das ganze Bett hat gemüffelt, ich war nicht sicher ob die Bettwäsche überhaupt frisch überzogen worden ist. Nachts streifen die Stauden im Garten an der Hauswand wenn der Wind geht und machen laute Geräusche. Man kann das Apartment nicht gut abdunkeln. Es gibt nur ein Fliegengitter im Bad, man kann also nicht lüften. In der Küche sind kleine Ameisen unterwegs. Die Unterkunft ist nur zu empfehlen wenn man einen festen Schlaf und schlechten Geruchssinn hat.
• Jennifer (10/5): -
• AnneMarie (10/5): Gorgeous private little retreat - perfect for a getaway - It was small and intimate and had a lovely private garden. The walk to get there but was still worth it
• Helen (8/5): - The kitchen and bathroom where good and the couch was good to sit on. Not the best kitchen table but it works Toads, there was a lizard in our pod and at night there where toads everywhere. Bed was too hard for our liking
• Bjørk (6/5): - hytten var dejlig og havde hvad man behøvede Vi kunne ikke komme i kontakt med udlejeren og måtte have hele opholdet uden fungerende wifi og kunne heller ikke få lov til at leje de cykle som der var blevet adviseret grundet ingen tilbagemelding fra ejeren. Vi både ringede og sendte sms over flere om gange
• David (8/5): First visit to Magnetic Island and we enjoyed ourselves and I believe Kapok Flower accom provided us a lovely relaxed ti - Very quiet & relaxed feel. Also we really liked Horsehoe Bay, very pretty and we think the best of all bays. Bigger verandah but I’m now being picky. They do need to cut back the gardens a bit, very overgrown
• Chun Hei (9/5): Enjoyed the stay, worth the value - Very clean, cozy and nice wood house with washing machine and oven. Comfy mattress and bed, nice hot water shower The unstable wifi, and out dated smart TV
• Charlotte (9/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): -
• ANDREW (9/5): Very nice 3 nights at Kapok Flower. And of course Maggie always shines. Feeling refreshed. - Quiet, very clean & comfortable, has everything you need. Charge of $20 per day for the bicycles! Although Aly was kind to let me use one, f.o.c to ride to shop & back. It’s a very hot 60 minute (return) walk to Horseshoe Bay, with no shade on Gifford Street!
• Joanne (10/5): -
• Shannon (10/5): -
• Helen (8/5): -
• Andres (10/5): Fantastic for couples and peace seekers - Lovely cozy studio! Nature and warm materials made it really homie Location is fair
• Arika (10/5): -
• Thibaut (9/5): -
• jaydeeTP (10/5): Outstanding studio, great location. - Communication was excellent from host, property had everything I needed for a quiet gettaway, attention to detail is outstanding, loved the location! Being able to stay longer! :-)
• kate (9/5): Fantastic! Loved the property and made our stay on the island even more enjoyable - The location was fab, horseshoe bay is a great area for having a swim and is a starting point for some of the hikes to the other bays. The property itself is very sweet and was very well kitted out, had everything you’d need! Would definitely come here again/recommend to others. Very good communication from the host too :) The only thing I can think of is the bathroom floor got very wet after showering! Even with the bath mat the water would go everywhere.
• Asher (10/5): -
• Debra (9/5): Perfect for our mini break between Christmas and New Year - Island is beautiful to tour and restaurants fantastic. - Location Privacy Comfort Nil
• Madeleine (9/5): -
• gerard (9/5): loved it! happy to recommend. Did a few walks, I went to Florence Bay on Christmas day, gorgeous - the unit was tastefully furnished, clean and fresh the washing machine needs a good clean. It has mould in the drawer compartment. Nice easy fix, just wipe down with vinegar.
• Janelle (8/5): Very quiet and secluded unit. Excellent and homey presentation. - Location was very convenient. Close to the beach, restaurants and koala park.
• Charlotte (9/5): Really lovely and comfortable, great property and island. - Clean and lovely facilities (bathroom, kitchen and washing machine) Had everything you would need. Very comfortable cozy stay. Would be perfect for couples. At night you get to experience the family of cane toads on the garden path on entry and exit to the cabin… definitely an experience if your not keen on toads 😂 If you don’t have a car, avoid the walk down gifford street midday.
• Joel (9/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): - Lovely stay would definitely stay again, very relaxing peaceful vibe and homely
• Shoni (10/5): - Great location, great facilities and very clean and comfortable. Great place to stay in magnetic island for sure! Would recommend to anyone :) host was also really kind and communicative.
• Gruber (7/5): - Mit Liebe eingerichtet, schöner Vorgarten, es gibt Fahrräder 👍 10 min Fußweg von der Bushaltestelle
• Sergej (5/5): -
• Aleix (8/5): Buen sitio calidad precio. Recomendable coche o mot - La terraza Muchos animales🤣
• Teale (9/5): -
• Mat (8/5): A nice cosy budget accomodation for a short stay on Maggie - Had everything you would need for a short stay. Kitchen was well equipped, big fridge freezer and setting in the tropical gardens was nice. It had a nice cosy feel about it and was very good value for money. Whilst the tropical gardens were beautiful the path way to the house could have been better. At night it was very dark with no lighting to guide you to the pod and in some places the garden was a little overgrown. Also there was no structured pathway and so getting your luggage to the pod was a bit of an effort. The sliding door to the bathroom was a little dangerous with both of us catching our fingers in it as there was nothing to prevent it from sliding all the way across.
• Nathalie (7/5): -
• Sean (10/5): - Excellent little location, reasonably priced . Easy to check in and out. Will book again
• Robson (8/5): Great to use as a base for the Horseshoe Bay side of the island - Suited us for a relaxing couple of days on Maggie Bit of milk in fridge on arrival would help. For some people it may be a bit of walk to get to Horsehoe Bay waterfront.
• Caitlin (10/5): -
• Daria (10/5): Secluded, comfortable and very homely. - The property is really lovely. Private, lots of nature and a really great size. It’s got all the things you need. The kitchen is well supplied and the air con and fans work really well to keep you cool. It wasn’t a surprise, but the property is quite far down the road from the closest bus stop. But it’s completely flat and an easy walk. But this is well explained in the description of the property so no complaints at all.
• Cochrane (9/5): Pleasant stay on Maggie - Very comfortable stay for a solo traveller. The garden outlook is amazing. I had lots of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, even a toad come visit! A bit noisy due to wind making branches and leaves scrape the roof in the night, kept me up. Bathroom very small and water escaping the shower enclosure, causing bathroom floor to be very wet so need to be careful!
• Hoffmann (9/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Tanya (8/5): Relaxing, peaceful, quiet - Quiet, peaceful, a sanctuary It’s a bit far out of horseshoe bay but this is only a problem if you’re walking
• Melissa (8/5): An enjoyable stay in a lovely setting. - Peaceful neighbourhood, easy check in, comfortable environment both in and out, had everything we needed and good communication with Aly.
• Marion (9/5): Beautiful place with all the comforts of home. - Peaceful. Awkward shower
• Ciara (10/5): Enjoyable relaxing weekend away. - We really enjoyed this stay. Hosts were great and really easy to get in contact with. The studio was very comfortable, clean and peaceful. Although the location is slightly remote, we found it really easy to explore the island, as the bus is only a ten minute walk.
• Anouk (10/5): -
• Amber (9/5): - Really comfy and cosy, good facilities and very clean
• Vernica (9/5): Amazing property, slightly inconvenient location - Beautiful little studio with great privacy! Loved the inclusion of a washing machine and clothes rack as well as complimentary bath and beach towels for use during our stay. The location was a 10 minute walk from the nearest bus stop and a 30 minute walk from horseshoe bay. This made it not particularly viable to head back for a quick stop in the middle of the day in the heat so had to plan a little more carefully than we otherwise would for a better located accomodation.
• Calum (7/5): Good - Great little stay, had everything you needed for a comfortable stay on the island. Would recommend.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sophie (9/5): Superb -
• Kieran (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jess (10/5): 💯 Perfect retreat - I liked how peaceful it was staying there, listening to all the different types of birds it was a very relaxing time away. I have nothing that I dislike about this accommodation. 💯 Perfect
• Margot (10/5): Amazing place, can only recommend!!! - The studio was great and clean! We had everything we needed! And Ally and her husband were great and helpful. Nothing. (The location is not very central but it’s definitely possible to walk to Horseshoe Bay)
• Edmund (10/5): Exceptional - Great little set up. Perfect for a couple, has everything that you need to spend a weekend or a week including a full kitchen and a comfy bed. It's set up to be very private and secluded from surrounding dwellings. The owners were lovely and helped us out when ever they could.
• Lindsay (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet cosy comfy, top spot
• Jessica (9/5): Superb -
• Federica (10/5): Exceptional - We had a perfect two-night stay. The house was incredibly comfortable and well-furnished, with easy check-in, a fantastic location, and the host provided perfect and fast communication. We highly recommend this accommodation!
• Jamie (9/5): Relaxing, very compact and cosy. - The privacy and its location. Nil
• Niklas (8/5): A peaceful, clean, and quiet getaway - Our stay at the Kapok Pod was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. Aly was very friendly and responsive and made us feel very welcome on the island. We didn't rent a car while on the island so we just had to walk 10 minutes to the nearest bus stop, which is not bad, but buses only come every hour so you just have to time it out right.
• Lara (8/5): Very good -
• Federico (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Camila (7/5): Good. - The location is okay, as I like to walk. The studio had everything I needed, including positive points for having herbs, spices, sugar, and cooking spray. Amenities like sunscreen, cold and filtered water, and everything else that adds up to your budget while trying to cook for yourself. They also have a desk inside, a tall table and yard chairs outside. The studio is really cozy and welcoming, with a lush garden to give you privacy and a beautiful view in the morning. Noise, bed and pillows. There was a renovation around, and it would be frequent. Maybe it will change in the future. The bed moved a lot, and I was sleeping alone.
• Benjamin (10/5): Clean, comfortable and relaxing stay. Will return! - Loved the small cottage design, felt very homely and comfortable. Aly was a very hospitable and welcoming host! Everything was great but was a little walk to the bus stop! Nothing major :D
• Philip (9/5): Great location, privacy and attentive hosts. - Extremely clean and quaint dwellings. Very well maintained with great garden, very private. Host/owner was exceptionally helpful and friendly! No TV antenna/connection. But did have flatscreen with free streaming facilities
• Andrei (8/5): Very good -
• Cole (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best places we have stayed at. All of the little details were taken care of from super comfy pillows to bikes you can use.
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Helpful and attentive host
• Zara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Diego (10/5): A nice set up for a comfortable stay. - A very nice set up, with the front glass wall facing a bushy tropical garden. The place was comfortable, and the host was very friendly. I was a little confused about how to get the keys and I had to call the host by phone. Once that was sorted out, everything was lovely.
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Renae (10/5): Highly recommended 10/10 - Private Well maintained Great Hosts Bicycles were an Extra Bonus
• Victoria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Evelyyn (7/5): Charming cabin - Beautiful gardens and really charming little cabin with everything you need for a great stay. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable, which made it hard to sleep
• Jaydeetp (10/5): A little bit of paradise - Everything I needed for my stay and in a beautiful garden setting. Owner communicated well throughout and responded to questions quickly. While not beachfront by any means, the location was perfect for my love of walking. Lots of space for me to spread out and an ideal spot for my creative side to flourish. Loved it.
• Ailbhe (10/5): Excellent little place to stay nice and private - Cute and cosy
• Yuval (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tegan (10/5): Absolutely beautiful - The property is absolutely beautiful. It is incredibly well kept and wonderfully clean!! The garden was to die for and in the morning looked absolutely stunning with the sun shining through!! Aly truly is a wonderful host too, she picked us up from the bus stop in the evening to save us the walk in the darkness and offered to drive us to the stop when we left as well! I cannot fault her or her property :) I would absolutely recommend!!
• Anita (10/5): Can’t wait to stay here again for longer! - Loved everything!! I possibly loved the accommodation more than the Island itself! An Iron might have been useful.
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Delightful stay, the cabin is super sweet and the gardens very lush. It was a beautiful little tropical escape, good location, wonderful hosts!
• Tetu (9/5): Superb -
• Allison (7/5): Good -
• Shian (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful little spot that had everything for us The shower splashes back into the bedroom definitely wasn't built to have a normal shower felt very cramped
• Tavis (10/5): lovely private cabin - great private garden, nice little spot, lovely host, nice and clean. everything you need, recommend highly
• Sharnie (10/5): Quiet,relaxing and beautiful - Beautiful little unit. Had everything we needed for our stay
• Harriet (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing quaint little spot ! Had a fabulous time, Aly was super helpful.
• M (10/5): Super nice!! - Hands down the best air bnb I have ever stayed at. Everything was clean, bed was comfortable, good water pressure, cute garden. You can hear sounds from next door and also it’s a bit of a walk from horseshoe bay but it gives you a chance to walk around and get a feel of the island.
• Michelle (8/5): It was a happy relaxed holiday stay. - Very friendly helpful hosts who go out of their way to give you all you need. If you have a car it is a great location, quiet but only a few minutes drive to everything on the island. Modern, cute private cabin with outdoor seating. Full size fridge and cooking facilities to comfortably prepare your own meals. Access to bikes. We prefer a soft bed and the bed is firmer than we like, Aly gave us a doona to help soften it a bit.
• Barry (8/5): Nice and peaceful, perfect base camp. - Simple, clean and everything you could think of. You need transport even though the owner offered to give me a lift to the bus stop which was much appreciated.
• Joanne (10/5): Absolutely beautiful! Perfect location and wonderful host! - Everything!! It was perfect and so beautiful:) Nothing. No complaints
• Paul (10/5): We had a month on the island and we wanted to be close to Horseshoe Bay so this was ideal. - Comfortable, cool enough that we didn’t need to use the air conditioner and we could leave the doors wide open for fresh air. Good cooking facilities. Location is great Nothing
• Gus (10/5): Thank you! We highly recommend & will stay again for future island visits - Private, clean, comfortable with hosts that were kindly very helpful It has such a natural vibe both inside and outside of the building Convenient for us as we had our own transport on the island otherwise a little out of the way The strong smell of fertiliser (must’ve been freshly distributed)
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The studio is modern with every convenience but still has a great tropical vibe. We loved the deck. Horseshoe Bay really is the pick of them all for a real island holiday feel. Good cafes and easy access to the best walks on the island. We had a car which made it a bit easier.
• Wiranchana (10/5): Love it 😍 - The cabin is so pretty. Suitable for a vacation trip. Private and quiet. Also, Aly is very sweet. She picked us up at Horseshoes Bay because we missed the bus stop. Thank you very much for everything. If there is a chance to go back again, I will stay in Kapok again!!. (I wish I could stay one more night🙂) -
• Rajanee (7/5): Great, have your own transport. - Had everything, clean , spacious, nice hosts. Did not suit elderly couple without transport. Was too remote. Long way to the the shops for a sausage roll.
• Fiorenza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ella (10/5): Exceptional - The owner Aly was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She picked us up from the bus stop and let us put our bags somewhere hours before check in so we were able to explore the island. She also gave us access to two bikes with a bike lock so we were able to cycle to horseshoe bay. The accomodation is a short walk from the bus stop where you can access anywhere on the island for a cheap price. I highly recommend the accomodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
• Michaela (9/5): Fantastic value for money, peaceful get away. Perfect for a couple. - Very clean, comfortable and private. The advertised photos are what you get. Had a peaceful and tranquil feel about it. Aly had the perfect balance of providing everything you needed but respecting your space.
