Great stay
We had a lovely time for your first visit to Magnetic Island. The house was great and lovely to have our dogs come along. Wish there was instructions on how to operate the tv for local channel options. Thanks Kris

Fun family getaway
Our experience renting this property was an excellent one! The house was perfect for my extended family and the pool provided heaps of fun and something to do while we were relaxing in the afternoon! Close to some great walks and the markets was a positive for us! It is also close to some great eateries which for my family is always a positive! Would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful
No internet no online gaming. It was blissfully great. Spend all weekend exploring the Island and what it had to offer. And the rest of the time playing board games and cards with my son. All and all great weekend and we will go again.

Lovely place. Will book again but if a few changes can be made, full aircon in all bedrooms, comfy (not hard) beds, toilet paper, soap, and a FULL gas bottle as it ran out after one meal.

Dog friendly
We needed somewhere where the dogs would be safely contained whilst we were out. This place was fully fenced and escapeproof. The pool is fantastic for little children

Bathroom was slightly misleading.
The shower cubicle was not really good for the average 6 foot person- was very claustrophobic. And a hand rail on the front steps would be great. Other than that the house was good- very well appointed in the kitchen. Will go through Cindy again.

Family breakaway in Horseshoe Bay
This was our first trip to Magnetic Island, and we had a wonderful trip. We opted for kookaburra lodge over a resort for the flexibility and private pool. The pool was an absolute hit with us all, and the aircon in the lounge room very welcome in January. Although in walking distance to horseshoe bay and bus routes, I would recommend a car in the summer months... the heat can be very uncomfortable. A great stay, thank you.

Mixed Experience
Positives - pet friendly, pool area, enclosed yard, efficient agent re booking and putting lights on for arrival Negatives - over priced for level of of amenity, neighbours arguing, no driveway had to drive up and down kerb to access property, gate very narrow for vehicle, pictures on website showed green lawn but it was just sand, uncomfortable sofas and beds. Left a day early as not a comfortable place to relax in

Average place but top price
We paid top dollar for a place that should be low to medium price. No air conditioners in bedroom and main air conditioner inadequate, house always hot. Toilet smelt like urine. House dirty with fans, fridge top and other very dusty. Not presented at a standard to match the price.
