Great house and location
Great place to stay. Plenty of space, very comfortable bed and home. Can see the owners have put in a lot of work to make it comfortable for guests, highlights was the coffee machine with free coffee and the pool! Keep an eye on pool cleanliness, not sure if it was previous guests or a neighbour but we found some cigarette butts floating in the water. Solved easily with a skim of the pool and the rest of the house made up for it in terms of accommodation and location!

Beautiful spacious house ideal for family getaway
Thank you Mark & Rosemary for the perfect weekend getaway with family & friends. There were 14 adults staying & there was plenty of room. The house is in a great location, walking distance to pub & bus stop. We went to the Stage Door Theatre Restaurant on the Saturday night & had no trouble getting buses to & from the venue back to the house. The place was clean & well equipped. Great communication with Mark & Rosemary before hand & appreciate the earlier check in.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed a lovely stay with the whole family, renting both upstairs and downstairs. With the two blow up mattresses there was enough space for everyone. Pool is lovely and access to beach and food is easy. The only draw back we found is the beds are okay, but not the most comfortable. Some of the frames are very squeaky keeping those sharing awake during the night and others are on their way to be those roll into the middle beds. But overall we loved it and would stay again.

Perfect family getaway
We had family friends coming to stay from Tassie and booked this property to our two families (12 people all up) for a few days getaway. It was the ideal place for us - plenty of room, separate living spaces when the kids wanted to do their own thing, everything there that we needed. Wonderful location, great pool and lots of places to sit both inside and out. We would definitely recommend to others.

Three generation two week beach holiday
The house was ideal for our group of ten (6 adults, 4 children). The pool had a workout, even though it was a bit fresh initially. The location was great with a two minute walk to Picnic Bay beach. Also co-located with the beach was a bus stop, pub, bottle-shop, cafe and brewery. Ideal.

Best place to celebrate 90 years well lived.
We gathered together in this majestic home on Magnetic Island to celebrate my mother in-laws 90th birthday, she had raised her family in Picnic Bay not far from this house, and had told us it was her special wish to celebrate her 90th birthday on Magnetic Island. The house was perfect, we spent lazy days together reminiscing and enjoying each other’s company on the verandas, in the lounges. Sometimes we played cards and board games, some of us braved the pool, my sister in law swam in ocean every day. At low tide we investigated the ship wreck and the tidal pools on the beach at Picnic Bay, and late at night we fished from the jetty and watched the moon rise in the night sky, and cast its shimmering light upon the water. We hiked up the hill to the lookout between Picnic Bay and Rocky Bay and saw splendid views that would rival any post card. We Saw koalas in Picnic Street, we saw wallabies and possums most nights and were serenaded often by kookaburras. This really was the perfect place to celebrate 90 years well lived, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home with us.
