Magnificent Magnetic Island stay
Pros:

The apartment was spacious but cosy.
Except for an oven the apartment had everything in it we would need, even for a longer stay.
It was clean and thoughtfully decorated without being too much.
Loved that it had ceiling fans, close to the shops, ferry and bus.
Nice outlook on the balcony to the mountains and the channel - this is what initially sold me on the property.
Really enjoyed staying here.

Cons:

The light switch for the bathroom should have been on the inside - not a negative for the stay just more practical :)

Pros:

The location was spectacular and the check in experience with Best of Magnetic was simple and quick. The room was well laid out and perfect for our stay. There were numerous dining options close by.

Cons:

For the size of the room it was on the expensive end of acceptable. Access to the underground parking is a bit of a trek.

Great minus the shower head
Pros:

The view was stunning and other than a few dislikes it was an amazing property.

Cons:

The shower head was horrible I would recommend a bunnings shower head that's a $50 fix.
The bed sheets weren't big enough for the bed, one light bulb in the bathroom was blown and no black out curtains.

Ideal location at Blue on Blue, perfect for couples.
Pros:

Great location at Blue on Blue with spectacular views over the water and hills behind.
Ideally located near the ferry and bus stop which makes getting around the island so easy when Blue on Blue is your base. The apartment is a very generous size for a studio and perfect for a couple to stay for a few days. Enough kitchen facilities to make your own breakfast and even a bbq on the balcony if you need it. Good air con and ceiling fans so you can choose one or both.

Cons:

Mattress was a bit springy and spongy, feels like it needs to be replaced soon. Whilst the apartment had been well cleaned for arrival and nicely clean sheets, the blanket provided on the bed was not clean and we found a spare folded in a cupboard that we chose to use instead. Bathroom is big but the shower nozzle is difficult to use and not good water pressure.
In common areas, the sun lounges around the pool are all dirty and grimy and really lets down an otherwise fantastic pool area.

Very good
Pros:

Great location, clean and comfortable
Had pretty much everything we needed. My only small suggestion would be that the shower head is more reminiscent of a caravan park than an apartment, and I was surprised at no insect screens.
I would definitely recommend a stay there though.
