Cosy, comfortable and just a little bit quirky, the recently renovated Maggie A-frame in Horseshoe Bay makes the ideal base for Magnetic Island adventures. Framed by lush palms and sprawling mango trees, this is a place to kick off your shoes and soak in the simplicity. Downstairs there are various zones for dining, chilling, reading and relaxing, a kitchen and bathroom, and the main bedroom. Climb the ladder to the loft and you’ll discover a comfy reading nook leading into the loft bedroom, where fairy lights drape from the rafters and the soundtrack of Maggie – aka curlews, koalas, geckos – seeps through your louvre windows at night reminding you of your place in this beautiful, wild place. From here it’s only a short wander down the street to the beach, walking trails, acai bowls, and anything else you could need in Horseshoe Bay. If you’re travelling with a larger group than five, Maggie Studio is also available for couples to rent on the adjoining block.
