The Pines

Location , size

No wifi , challenging if an emergency or just needing to communicate Without wifi need to have guides for guests of things to do

Loved the authentic vibe to the house, it really was a beautiful home. The layout off the bedrooms/ bathroom and main living area was great. Loved listening to the wildlife at night.

Just a bit to open for us felt like we had no privacy, but we were okay with that as the area was so quiet and hardly any traffic come through. Also Kids didn't like the no WiFi... they were lost without it but it was good to have a break from technology. Overall beautiful house and I would definatly recommend to others to stay there.

We loved the location. The Pines is near the mountain and, at present, a vacant block. In the evenings Wallabies come in to feed and birds can be seen and heard. My partner thought he heard a koala growl! The Pines is an architectural masterpiece combining wood and steel. The space and light are utilised beautifully in the lounge, dining, kitchen areas. The beds are comfy and plenty of cupboard space and drawers for clothes. The space is really interesting and there is plenty of outdoor areas to relax, including a secure area for children. There’s a bath that’s in a semi enclosed area so you feel like you might be outside. Good hot showers. Great laundry with washing machine and dryer. The lounge had a comfortable sofa. TV . There are books and games. The kitchen has a ceramic cooktop. There are plenty of utensils, crockery, pots and pans etc The place may be a few years old now,but it is stunning! It provided us with a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy it and Magnetic Island. We only wish we could have stayed there longer!

The sink in the bathroom seemed to have water leaking over it and bathroom cabinets need some attention as have rust.

The architecture

What was particularly disappointing was The Pines is located in what is basically a housing estate (not shown in photos)No privacy at all from neighbours including builders directly beside outdoor dining deck. Adjacent property rents space to campervans and entertains campers with outdoor cinema screen! No blinds in any rooms so fully exposed at night especially with lights on. Not peaceful at all.
