    Nothing bad to say!

    The room was so lovely. Perfect for a couple! They do a breakfast with a koala and you get to meet a few other animals. Daily FREE bird feeding was so good too. All of the staff were happy and helpful.

    The mattress was awful. Extremely uncomfortable as you could feel the springs.

    Property was lovely. We stayed in a glamping tent which was fully furnished, including 2 fans.

    Na

    Everything ! Such a gorgeous and special place situated in a koala rescue park. The bird feeding every day was so special too. The food and drinks at the bar were also great and the staff at reception were so helpful. Loved our stay in Maggie at this special place.

    The bathrooms got full of bugs each night and were therefore full of dead bugs each morning which was quite gross! But lots of showers and toilets.

    Great location opposite a bus stop so you can get around easily, lovely bar and pool area and we would recommend the animal tour to meet all of the cute animals at the hostel! The rooms are small but have all we needed including a fridge, and a good sized kitchen and eating area.

    The food was pretty average for the prices but that's picking. I also think the bathrooms could benefit from more regular cleans but they were fine otherwise.

    Cool and quirky venue for a stay on Magnetic island. Short walking distance to horseshoe bay which has a couple of restaurants and a great sunset. We stayed in one of the double rooms which are really cosy, clean and have great aircon. There is so much wildlife (literally on your doorstep) including wallabies & birds. Nice area to socialise and a large pool. All in all an excellent place to stay and would recommend to anyone considering.

    We stayed on the bus dorm which was really cool but would have loved a curtain at the back window for some privacy as it was facing the main pathway

    Good location, great wildlife tour

    Girls bathroom weren’t that clean especially the showers. Lighting was poor enough at night along the footpaths. Food in bar was crap wouldn’t waste your money on it - much nicer restaurants in the bay.

    We stayed in a hut and it was lovely, had aircon fresh towels water everything you could want. The kitchen was clean and big enough for amount of people staying. Staff were lovely upon check in and check out. Hang out area and bar were very nice and pool was good too. Kangaroos were around and cool birds too! Walking distance to horseshoe bay.

    It’s a little bit out of the way from the ferry but there is a bus stop outside.

    This property is very modern, clean and comfortable. Definitely one of the higher end hostels. Loved the free movie night and free feeding the birds.

    reception could have stayed open till midnight, second evening our lights and airconditioning kept turbing off so we had to open the door every 30 minutes to turn it on again, but that was a minor issue and didnt affect our stay that much,

    The private cabins were very comfortable and clean! Water and glases were provided in the fridge, decoration was nice, aircon worked perfectly for the first day, bathroom quite clean, big kitchen, big property so felt like a resort, good bar area and in the night we could see wallabies, bus to the ferry terminal directly in front off the hotel:)

    Although very clean, there’s lots of wildlife (not a problem for us :) breakfast was ok. There were lots of good options however not the best quality we’ve had.

    Very cool hostel with nice outdoor seating area, pool and modern bathrooms. Rooms were well air-conned and cosy.
