false listing

The architecture of the house is superb and the location is great. However the interiors are not as advertised. The unit showed great in the pictures with modern furniture and open layout ; but turned out to be a standard studio set up-sofa in front of the bed in front of the tv. (balineese furniture) Disappointing. Outdoors needs maintenance, and listing needs new pictures,

Perfect getaway in paradise

Beautiful accommodation in the perfect location. Furnishings have been updated and are far more pleasing than what is featured in photos on the website. Would highly recommend and would definitely return!

Good position, dust problem inside and out.

Owner needs to check property and upgrade “tired” outside furniture.

Ideal

We stayed 1 week at Essence and enjoyed every moment. The privacy and peace was exactly what we needed and we were please to fine this property luxuriously appointed. A private pool was ideal and we used it extensively. The only thing that would have made it a better experience is a coffee machine. Cafes and restaurants are a short walk away with enough choice that if you wanted to stay in Horseshoe Bay you could. We booked a rental car just before arriving and were very pleased we did. It made exploring the island so much easier. When we return to Magnetic Island there isnt anywhere else we will stay. The staff at Best of Magnetic were great.
