#### Seaward Cottage

It surpassed all our expectations. It was cozy and private and we never had that before ,The established gardens made it, and it felt"home from home"as there were no rule signs everywhere and we could just relax. The location was spot on, everything you could want for your holiday was provided and many extras too, and the whole house was well thought out with people and what they may need /want in mind, . We weren't over looked and I love how it was pet friendly too. We can't wait to come back here !

#### Lovely little Cottage

Fantastic cottage for our Magnetic Island 2 night stopover while on business. Had our 2 puppies with us who were so excited with the fully fenced yard to explore in. This stopover got us out of the campervan for a couple of nights; the kitchen was perfect, bathroom and shower was hot and great water pressure … and we were able to get some washing / drying of clothes done! We definitely recommend and will return one day 🤩✨🏝🐶🥰
