We absolutely loved our stay at The Gatehouse in Horseshoe Bay. It’s a charming, peaceful spot just steps from the beach. The house has two bedrooms—a queen and a room with two singles plus a cozy sofa area—air conditioning, a well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, and dining space for four. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and gave us great tips about the island. Restaurants and cafes are nearby, and the bus makes exploring easy without a car. We had a wonderful time and would love to return!

The property is beautiful and well located although a little more than "footsteps" to the beach, it's a nice flat 5 min walk. We were comfortable at all times. Our host was super friendly and very helpful including services above and beyond expectations. We couldn't find the BBQ on the premises but there was one about 5 mins walk away.

Lovely and relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Gatehouse. It was very comfortable with plenty of room and had everything we needed. We loved the light and ambience and the quirkiness of the design. Tee and Steve were wonderful hosts, very friendly, helpful and generous. We look forward to returning in the future and catching up with them again. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Stay on Magnetic Island!
We had such a lovely time at this little quirky holiday home! The place has a fun, unique charm and was very comfortable for our family. The hosts were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, full of great local recommendations, and incredibly kind to our kids (they even gave them some books to read, which was such a thoughtful touch!).The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to the beach and really close to everything else you might need. It felt like a perfect base for exploring the island. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming stay with great hosts!

Fabulous stay
This was the perfect place for my stay in Horseshoe Bay. There was supposed to be 2 of us staying, but it ended up just being me. It was clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need, even a kayak. Communication with the hosts, Tee and Steve, was perfect and they checked in during my stay to make sure everything was going well. No hesitation in recommending.
