Loved our stay on Magnetic Island in Headland House. Perfect house for our family of 10 in the most magical of locations. Was a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the kitchen and some supplies/items that are usually standard were in short supply. But would definitely stay again if given the chance.
We were so excited to experience this amazing house and our expectations were met. Each one of us absolutely loved this place. Our views from our bedrooms were superb. Thankyou
Secluded beautiful home with stunning views. Even the various rooms in the Headland house offer all the privacy you could wish for during your holiday. You don't miss anything, everything is there. The pool is great, but the privacy stairs to the beach are unprecedented for an early morning swim. We just loved it!
This house exceeded all of my expectations. It looked wonderful in the photos and when we arrived it was even better. Perfectly appointed with every little detail considered. Pool was even heated! And to top it off a koala came and sat in a tree just beside the house for a day
