Very modern renovated unique hideaway surrounded by rainforest. View from the balcony is stunning. Kitchen is very well equipped. Comfy bed. Walking distance to the bus and Alma Bay. Wifi was working in the morning and afternoon, for the rest we had telstra coverage most of the time. Aircon might be handy in the future excspecially during rainy season to keep things dry.

The place was so clean! It felt so fancy and absolutely loved the plunge pool which also had a TV and mini fridge down stairs with it. The staff were so welcoming but also just gave us our space. Location was perfect, easy walk to restaurants and clothes shops, bottle shops and the beach. Close to the ferry terminal and bus stops to be able to access the whole island. The beds were comfortable! There were really no negatives, I can't wait to stay again!

I don’t even know where to begin! This was a charming little box with a very comfortable bed not too far from the terminal. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the IGA, fairly peaceful and pretty. The accommodation itself had everything you needed, a cute outdoor kitchen and amazing shower (it was winter on Maggie, enjoyed some hot showers in 13 degree nights!) I truly needed a relaxing retreat after working fairly hard and got absolutely everything I wanted and more. Can’t recommend enough - not an ultra luxurious stay with a private butler and masseuse, but a fantastic representation of island life, reconnecting with nature and living simply. Short walk to a beautiful beach, quiet neighbourhood, bus stop 3 minutes away to get you to all the cool spots on the island. Can’t wait to stay here again! Didn’t get to meet Himali and Nate (sorry if I spelled that wrong) but I’m sure they’re awesome, though I do have to say that while hands off self check in process was much needed and appreciated, I always felt like I could contact the hosts if I needed anything at all. 10/10 would recommend to someone who wants a simple, fuss free and low key/affordable option to spend some days on Maggie.
