The shower cubicle was not really good for the average 6 foot person- was very claustrophobic. And a hand rail on the front steps would be great. Other than that the house was good- very well appointed in the kitchen. Will go through Cindy again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gwyneth B. 22 Jan 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Family breakaway in Horseshoe Bay This was our first trip to Magnetic Island, and we had a wonderful trip. We opted for kookaburra lodge over a resort for the flexibility and private pool. The pool was an absolute hit with us all, and the aircon in the lounge room very welcome in January. Although in walking distance to horseshoe bay and bus routes, I would recommend a car in the summer months... the heat can be very uncomfortable. A great stay, thank you. ##### Gwyneth B.

Left a day early as not a comfortable place to relax in ##### Julia Z.

No air conditioners in bedroom and main air conditioner inadequate, house always hot. Toilet smelt like urine. House dirty with fans, fridge top and other very dusty. Not presented at a standard to match the price. ##### Rick B.
