Guest Reviews

Stephan (8/5): -
Jamie (10/5): -
Tony (10/5): Relaxing beachside paradise - Great location beside the beach
Shannon (10/5): Second time I have stayed here and it met expectations that I had set previously. Very happy!! - Location and cleanliness was amazing Aircon in lounge room was set on high and would get quite cold. Easy to turn off though so not that big of a drama
Emilie (5/5): - I didn’t like being told I booked my stay incorrectly when I’ve arrived at the property. There is two separate notes left at the property saying that booking through Booking.com is bad and costs more. This is completely untrue, I got a way better rate on Booking.com than what they offered direct. Not a very nice welcome. Place wasn’t very clean, stained sheets and finger marks all over the kitchen.
Caitlin (4/5): Won’t stay here again! - Oceanfront and size was great. There was a few things wrong with this property. When we first arrived the second bedroom was locked and not accessible until we asked reception to unlock it. The room wasn’t even clean and there was a lightbulb missing in the lamp in the room. When we arrived they just finished mopping the floor in the lounge room which my daughter slipp over as the floor was oily and slippery. There was about 10 sheets of toilet paper in the only bathroom which we had to purchase from the corner shop. You would think this would be supplied considering how much we paid for the apartment. The guy who looked after the apartments was trying to over service and he came across as creepy trying to constantly talk to me which made us feel uncomfortable. I know it’s a small island but when I’m on holidays I prefer to be left alone I wouldn’t recommend or stay again!
Christa (8/5): - Wir hatten die große Wohnung im 2. Stock bekommen, weil diese einen sehr schönen Balkon mit Blick auf das Meer bot. Die Wohnung war sehr komfortabel und gut ausgestattet. Im Garten gab es einen kleinen Pool, den wir ganz für uns allein nutzen konnten. In der Nacht liefen Maschinen, die offensichtlich auf dem Dach installiert waren. Durch diesen Lärm war der Schlaf leider ständig gestört. Nur mit Ohrstöpsel konnte man einigermaßen schlafen. Die Betten waren zu schmal.
Hazelman (9/5): -
Martin (10/5): Excellent - Very clean and spacious Only one key. AC didn’t run when outside
Louise (9/5): Very nice unit in good location at Horseshoe Bay - Very spacious, clean and lovely balcony
Ann (10/5): Beautiful - The location was perfect. Views to the beach and restaurant near by Nothing
Vibeke Staal (10/5): -
Craig (7/5): - No climate control for the a/c
Paul (10/5): -
Sharon (10/5): Beautiful spot beautiful appartment - Location Taking out the electrical tag could not leave washer or dryer going while out of unit. Upon leaving dishwasher would have turned off and dishes not have been washed
Samantha (8/5): - Location is fantastic, free private parking on site with a lovely pool. Air cons worked great, full laundry access and full sized kitchen. Lovely water pressure in showers and a lift to make transportation of luggage and prams easy. Fans were remote controlled and old, some remotes didn't have batteries so we had to continue to switch them out to turn fans on. A little outdated and didn't receive the cot we asked for, but otherwise absolutely fine for our short stay
Svetlana (5/5): Great location - The location is great, The property is big and spacious, good bath towels, well equipped basic kitchen. The bedroom is huge in size, yet the bed is only double in size. It would be good to have side tables. The aircon can only work in the property if you leave the key in the power slot, so you cannot lock your property and leave the aircon on or fans. except for fridge no appliances will work if you take the key with you. There are fans in the bedroom but they don't work. So have to resort to aircon, which can be cold. Bathroom is clean and spacious. In the living room the furniture is not very clean, the chairs have old food stuck to it. Kitchen is very good, has pots and pans. Would be helpful to have a few storage boxes of various sizes that could be used when going for the day for food. You have to ask for beach towels or confirm that you need them, which is very strange as its a beach resort and we had to wait 2 days to get ours. Also beach towels are very big and thick and gets very uncomfortable to carry with you and also dry too long. However bath towels are really good big white and fluffy. There is a lift in a complex so very helpful feature.
Carolyn (9/5): Excellent place to stay on Maggie - Excellent location, easy friendly check in, super clean light apartment and great cooking facilities - loved everything about the apartment!
WenFos (7/5): -
Catharine (9/5): We enjoyed our stay very much. - I appreciated the well stocked kitchen .. with various pieces of equipment! Thank you 😊 The 'hum' from the box/panel on the wall near the kitchen. At night it was very noticeable- we had to close the bedroom door!
Ronald (10/5): It was very peaceful - The space in the unit
Stefanie (9/5): Great location, right on beach, lovely hosts -
Michelle (7/5): Fabulous location - Well equipped kitchen, spacious, great location, restaurants and bus and beach so close Couldn’t flush toilet paper, banging noises woke us up every morning ?pipes? The ocean view for our apartment was blocked by trees
Kim (8/5): Very good - Great location . Room had everything you could possibly need. We will be back.
Kathryn (7/5): Good - Too noisy
Cristine (3/5): Poor -
Sheena (6/5): Pleasant -
Lincoln (10/5): Exceptional - Great place, clean, well maintained, great staff Nothing
Patricia (9/5): Superb -
Karen (8/5): Very good - Only one issue the Pool had no lights around it so you could not go for a swim after dark, so with all the day activities, we only got in it once, which was a shame it would have been nice to go for a swim later on. The room was great, and the location was great. We needed more time on the island, so we weren't so rushed. The kitchen was great. We took over food and cooked in the kitchen fully stocked with equipment.
Chantelle (1/5): Absolutely disgraceful service, avoid this place. No AC. - Location Avoid at all costs! The owner was unbelievably rude, you have no access to AC remotes and AC was set to “dry fan” and not cold in the middle of a NQ summer 36 degree day. She blamed the mould problem. The apartment was so hot you could not relax or get comfortable. Upon request to fix the AC the owner was aggressive and verbally abusive for simply asking for the AC to be fixed. I was nothing but polite but was ridiculed for having dared bother her. A very nasty, lazy, old woman with no empathy or customer service skills. Do not waste your money on this place. We requested a refund or a room change and were ignored. We left and stayed at another accomodation and were refused any compensation. Clear instructions that you have no control over AC provided and she will not set it to cold. We lost our total accomodation payment and could not even stay due to the heat and had to fork out more money for a last minute alternative.
Bobbie (9/5): Superb -
Kellie (9/5): Superb -
Stacey (10/5): Relaxing and care free holiday - Great location. Loved waking up and walking over to the beach, then grabbing a coffee before coming back to the apartments pool for a refreshing swim. Everything in a convenient location, apartment was spacious and clean and tidy. Very family friendly as everything is within walking distance. The pool has toddler friendly splash area as well and good shade at different times.
Janine (9/5): Superb -
Kade (10/5): Exceptional -
Maureen (9/5): Great stay in Horseshoe bay with beautiful nature walks near by. - Great location - definitely on the quieter side. Very spacious, bright, and airy. Very responsive host who was extremely helpful. Easy to get around with the bus system
Melissazammit (8/5): Great place to stay! - I really loved my stay here, firstly the location is its big draw card! I saw a possum, wallabies, a couple of rogue kangaroos, and the curlews all from the balcony! The apartment was very neat and tidy inside! The kitchen was well equipped with all you need to do cooking and preparing meals. The curtains don't really offer much privacy, I had to use pillows to anchor them closed. The tiolet won't flush the tiolet paper away on one full flush, and shower plumbing is noisy unless the taps are turned on full, making it hard to conserve water. The balcony tiles are in need of a good pressure washer. Sweeping daily didn't stop my feet from turning black.... but in fairness, it's outside, and that's nature. The air conditing has no temperature control , and it's icy cold, but there's ceiling fans, so that's good.
Ennio (10/5): Recommend it to everyone - Location and facilities Nothing
Ken (9/5): Relaxing -
Suzanne (9/5): Lovely - Excelle Dripping aircon
Sarah (7/5): Good - Good views. Central location in Horseshoe Bay. N/A
Lucy (1/5): Won’t stay there again - Kitchen facilities were good - the rooms were clean We booked a room that had a balcony and sea view - when we arrived - apartment 1 had a large tree obstructing any view. Very disappointed. Common areas outside the room were shabby. This place needs a refresh and some maintenance. Even the sun beds around the pool were heaped up haphazardly.
Austin (7/5): Besides the no aircon control our stay was pleasent. - The apartment was a nice clean stylish apartment. The balcony is a good place to chill out. The aircon in the lounge room would feel a lot cooler then the bedroom the bedroom aircon wasn’t that cool as we only slept with the underlay sheet kicked the dooner off. The aircon also had no remote to view what temperature it was set at or be able to change it to cool the room better. The ceiling fan also was turned off by the time we woke up as in if it was on a timer that we couldn’t control.
Mark (8/5): Very good - The location was excellent and the apartment was very clean. A bit noisy with the rubbish trucks early mornings around 6.30 to 7am from unit 3
Patrick (5/5): Would not book it again - Location is great, right next to the beach Floor was very dirty, stains on the linen. All in all too expensive for what it offers
Penny (9/5): Great place to relax and enjoy Magnetic island. - Great location right at Horseshoe bay, swimming, walks, nice eateries, groceries,bus.
Geoff (9/5): A great relaxing 3 days - Opposite the beach All was good
Emma (9/5): Superb -
Chris (8/5): Very good - Location and amount of space in the apartment. Lift access was also a bonus for the third floor.
Dan (8/5): Very good - Location was great. Ceiling fan in the bedroom did not work. Sliding glass door to patio could not be locked due to broken latch piece.
Máire (10/5): Exceptional -
Tiah (9/5): Superb -
Sharon (9/5): a beautiful apartment, great location, quite a few cafes & bars really close, the local bus is great - the apartment was beautiful & the pool area key code to get the key, wasn't working. I was unable to use my English phone I had to ask the person at the corner shop to get in touch with the apartment owner for me, to get the key
Marlene (9/5): Superb - Location, location, location!! Easy beach access, close to shops and restaurants
Christie (8/5): Very good -
Robert (9/5): Superb -

Narelle (7/5): Good -
Chris (9/5): Great apartment in best location of island - Apartment was in excellent location overlooking Horseshoe Bay which in our opinion is best location on island. Close to restaurants and quick dip in ocean. So much room in the apartment, parking and pool / garden area. Traffic noise started about 6.30am.
Miriam (10/5): Exceptional -
Christine (8/5): Very good -
Chris (8/5): Superb location. - Location close to beach was great. Just the early noise from the rubbish trucks.
Wilma (10/5): Exceptional -
Karen (10/5): Best holiday let - Amazing location. Apt 6 was much bigger than we were expecting. Well furnished, everything you needed & amazing sheets. Loved every minute of our stay. Nothing
Kylie (8/5): Magnetic island is a gem - Horseshoe Bay was exceptionally beautiful and our beachfront property was very nice. Manager was grumpy when we arrived.
Jiohn (10/5): Great stay. - Spacious, clean and airy Having to clean up the unit before leaving. Like having to wash up, taking the units rubbish bins down to the main ones. Just little things. Signing a waiver to use the swimming pool. When you’re paying $350 a night one assumes that these little things would be part of the cost.
Kayleen (10/5): Exceptional - The room was perfect and had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. Location was amazing. The toilet in the ensuite does not flush very well.
Stuart (8/5): Very good -
Caroline (8/5): Very good -
Megan (7/5): nice place , beautiful & clean We loved the location. . quality / comfortable furniture . - sparkling clean & great location . we would have preferred to have the remote control of our AC x 2 units . it was set at a predetermined temp & we couldn’t alter it plus it kept turning off during the night . I was SO hot I couldn’t sleep
Michael (6/5): Pleasant -
Mariana (8/5): Well, generally I like the place, I've been there in the past and have a nice memories. - I don't eat breakfast, had my tea and coffee with 10x. Sofas in the lounge are not my type, sorry, not very comfortable for me. The TV connection in the bedroom is not very good.

Alana (10/5): - Immaculately presented. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely look to book here again for future accommodation at Magnetic Island. Lovely lady who helped us with check in and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.
Verified traveler (2/5): - I made our booking on Friday night for the following day to stay Saturday night. Saturday morning i was packing when i recieved this text message: Hi Kylie, We do not have a vacancy for your booking today. Cheers Margaret Magnetic Sunsets I understand things happen and if a room is listed in multiple places it could be possible to be double booked but i was extremely dissapointed to find out through such a blunt text message. Firstly i feel the message warranted a phone call to inform us, not a text, and secondly, it could have started with "Im really sorry but unfortunately we dont have a vacancy for your booking". We certainly wont be booking here again
