• JA BINKS (10/5): - Host, Jill i think, a truly wonderful human. The room had all i needed, bed comfy, outlook stunning over tropical pool which was just fabulous after a day of exploration. Great location and lots of food places within a 5 min drive. Close to ferry terminal too. Loved my stay and the warmth and care of my great host. Xox

• Ramesh (9/5): -
• Ruth (10/5): Diane is an absolute sweetheart and she made sure everything was ok for us. - The pool was a lovely private setting where a family of tame Kookaburras would regularly visit. Location might not suit everyone but it suited us perfectly.
• Debra (10/5): -
• JILL (9/5): Quiet sojourn in Nelly Bay - Lovely and quiet and well set up Nothing

• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was lovely! Diane was always there if you needed something like a new gas bottle for the BBQ. We had chance to do our laundry there and felt welcome and had a great stay there! Thanks Diane!
• Robert (10/5): Very enjoyable, relaxing time at this excellent accommodation. - Diane was a great host. Good communication throughout. The unit was very well furbished and comfortable with everything required to be self-sufficient. Very quiet and relaxing location. Lovely pool. An easy 30 min stroll from the ferry and just a few meters from the bus stop. Nothing to say. All was good.
• Alexandre (10/5): We are already planning to be back! - We had a fantastic week here! The apartment was perfect—clean, comfortable, and surrounded by jungle with birdsong and butterflies. The 30°C pool was a dream. Diane is a wonderful host, generous and attentive. While it’s not by the sea and a bit off the main tourist track, the bus stop is right outside and a top restaurant is just a 10-minute walk away. The stay exceeded our expectations! n/a
• Maree (9/5): Superb -
• Allison (9/5): Superb -
• Alicia (10/5): The perfect stay on the beautiful Magnetic Island - We absolutely loved our stay at the Tropical Poolside Retreat on the beautiful Magnetic Island. After 4 months of backpacking across SE Asia & Australia, the Poolside Retreat was hands down the best place we’ve stayed at. The bed was incredibly comfy and the apartment has everything you could possibly need, the hosts had truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Diane and her husband were so lovely, welcoming and helpful. The property is conveniently close to the bus stop which takes you around the island if not driving (bus is every hour so does involve some planning which I learnt the hard way). The property is also located down a quiet road, which meant nature came to our doorstep - we were greeted by a wallaby upon arrival and visited by some kookaburra’s during our stay. We only stayed for 2 nights which was not long enough to enjoy the apartment or the stunning island. Tip: make sure to go out into the street at night for some fantastic star gazing! There is nothing that could’ve made our stay better. If Diane has any interest in adopting me I would have happily have stayed forever!
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Rory (9/5): A great place to stay! - This is a beautiful home, and Diane the host is very welcoming and hospitable. The facilities are great, there’s a nice pool, and having a washing machine and tumble dryer is very useful. Only slight downside is there were a few ants inside, but not too bad considering the remote location. It feels like you’re in the jungle, but it is actually walking distance to the ferry terminal (20-25 mins), and the bus stop is right outside which is great. I’d highly recommend staying here!
• Michelle (5/5): Passable -
• Monique (10/5): "Space to myself to Breathe" - Peaceful, relaxing and so much space to self... Pool and bath and lounge was my fave part of the accom.. Hosts Di and Doug went over and above to make certain I was comfortable...Thank you for making my stay memorable...a place of tranquility to return often to...🥰 There was nothing not to like....
• Allen (7/5): Good - The bed was very hard.
• Bren (9/5): Superb - We were very happy with everything about our stay. Comfortable, very clean and Diane was very friendly
• Rebeccalstewart (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Diane was such a lovely host and made us feel very welcome and completely at ease. The apartment is super spacious, really clean and comfortable and Diane added a lot of small touches such as milk, fruit, tea/coffee, towels etc that just made our stay so easy. The pool area is an added bonus and the apartment is in very quiet area teaming with wildlife. Diane let us know there was a Koala up the road which was super appreciated. We would definitely recommend Diane's place and would stay again 😊 No issues for us but just for information, there is only a microwave and kettle in the apartment but Diane did mention there was a BBQ if needed. Also the road is dark on an evening, but the bus stop is around the corner and it was a really short drive to everywhere.

• Amber (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (10/5): my holiday destination - love the room & privacy having the pool to relax omg and nice deep bath . perfect for self care . cannot fault anything
• Julian (10/5): Beautiful accommodation with pool and very friendly! - Great accommodation near Nelly Bay, Bus stop just next doort. Diane is very friendly and we enjoyed our stay so much. The pool is beautiful.
• William (9/5): Superb - Location was on the bus route and only a short walk to the bus stop. The area felt secluded and peaceful. It was easy to relax in the pool area and we felt as though we had the place to ourselves.
• John (5/5): Satisfied our needs but glad to leave, too dark and depressing - Comfortable bed, good laundry facilities, on bus route Location, (adjacent to small industrial area), dark and depressing interior, uncomfortable kitchenette and dining area
• Jessica (10/5): Wonderful, peaceful getaway. - Excellently maintained property with a wonderfully welcoming host. Diane is wonderful to communicate with and has thought of all the little things to make the stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Location is a little out of the way to easily walk to things but the bus stop is less than a minutes walk away so still very conveniently located.
• Victoria (10/5): I would come back - The area is very spacious and has everything you need! Very clean. Diane the host is very nice and friendly and took us to watch koalas just down the road. We used the bbq (gas) in the pool area for dinner. To mention something; the property is like 20 min walk from the ferry, so totally doable walking. We however rented a scooter to move around the island (same street as the property) so that was convenient!
• Deb (8/5): Enjoyable - good location and clean. Lovely pool . This is a shared facility with onsite owners - but very private. - Comfort- near bus - good wifi - Not being able to cook other than microwave - a single element or electric frypan would suffice
• Yukari (10/5): Tropical pool retreat has everything you need to live like your second home. - The place was spacious, comfortable and practical. I felt very comfortable staying there. The place had everything my friend and I needed.
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Julie (10/5): Relaxing and private thanks Diana - Wonderful pool and very comfortable bed Nothing
• Emmanuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vivien (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (10/5): Wish it was longer - Beautiful place, very clean and tidy, with beautiful pool. Not a long walk from Nelly bay. Host was happy to facilitate an earlier check in which was great so we could drop our bags early.
• Gabriele (10/5): Perfect location for our stay on Magnetic island. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer. Full recommendation! - Nice location, great pool, spacious and very clean Appartement, the owner Diane was very friendly and helpful.
• Shirley (9/5): Comfortable Oasis - Clean, comfortable, and quiet location. The pool was perfect after a day in the sun. The bedroom was cosy and comfortable, and the whole apartment was very spacious with good amenities. Diane made us feel welcome on arrival, and then we felt we had complete privacy. Walking distance to conveniences and a beautiful restaurant. I recommend 😊. There is nothing not to like, but I do recommend you have your own transport ( bike, scooter or car). It's quite a dark street at night and a hot walk during the day although I do believe there is a bus that travels past also. This place is not on the waterfront but is a beautiful spot nevertheless !
