For relaxing and unwinding, it ticked all the boxes - over the road from the beach, the calming sound of the ocean, ground level unit - we stayed for a week outside of school holidays and certainly enjoyed the pool, garden and friendly, accommodating staff. The unit facilities - fans & air-con in each room all worked; full kitchen &... More

The accommodation, whilst basic, our unit was superbly located right on the beachfront and it was so relaxing to hear the water lapping the shores. The unit was also very conveniently location and you really didn't need to leave Horseshoe Bay to relax and unwind.

The room had not been cleaned properly - for a long time. The furniture was old and dirty and needed to be replaced. In general the rooms we looked at needed to be refurbished. Management was approachable and accepted our complaints and gave us a full refund. We moved to different accommodation which was stunningly beautiful yet cost less.

Magnetic is not a place for great accommodation. The snazzy new places are in the wrong of town, near the ferry terminal, and look awkward in their surroundings. The old stuff is pretty old and often is beside the main road. But for us, southern family of four with two teenagers, this seemed just right. Nice, helpful manager, despite school... More

Location: unbeatable. On the beach, close to town, the locals are so friendly we just felt like we lived there Booking: through WOTIF. Easy. However, at my fault I realized we would not arrive at the hotel till 11:30pm. After 2-3 hours of calling frantically, I got a call back to tell me that the key would be left in... More

We stayed at Sails on Horseshoe this weekend. Booked directly with the manager - a lovely lady who was most kind in her pricing structure to us ! What can one say ? We asked for the one-level (ground floor) apartment - that has a queen size bedroom and a slightly smaller room room with 2 singles. The apartment has... More

A really nice place to stay, Horseshoe bay is a great place to stay on Magnetic Island as it has a beautiful beach and really nice restaurants and is not too busy and this is the place to stay on Horseshoe. Beachfront, very large, clean and well equipped apartments. We were in a courtyard room but still had some ocean... More

We ended up at 'Sails on Horseshoe' as were told that the two other places we asked at on Horsehoe Bay were fully booked. This was hard to believe when we discovered that we were the only two short-term guests at Sails. However, that suited us fine. We felt we had a private residence: the pool was almost ours alone;...

It has been a while since we stayed at Sails. Our first experience was a pleasant one with great accommodation & great, friendly service. How times have changed (or maybe not). The decor and kitchen, bathroom & furniture were still the same since we were last there. The aircons badly needed a good clean & the main bedroom a/c smelled... More
