Thank you for your excellent rating, Charmaine. Our goal is always to serve you the best we can and we are glad to know that we delivered. We are excited to have you back soon!
We used this property for 3 nights to explore Magnetic Island.
This is a big house with all the bits you need for even a longer stay.
The pool is a let down with it being at the end of the complex in front of another unit. It is a bit smaller than the photo's elude to and wasn't overly clear and clean looking.
Overall it was a good stay.
We stayed at Docks 9 for vacation for a week. The property was clean, well taken care of and the staff was more than helpful! They arranged an entire excursion for us as we were not able to use our phones and had limited internet connection. It was a wonderful experience, and I will most definitely book again next time I visit!
We were very pleased with the quality and comfort of this property and would be happy to stay there again.

Great Location
7th, 8th or 9th stay at #9 The Docks but who's counting. Great location near the beach, shops and restuarants, but very peaceful. Clean and good amount of kitchen ware - perhaps some chopping boards could be added. Always neat and tidy which is why we keep coming back

A Wonderful Place
We recently spent 8 nights at number 9 and had a wonderful time. Great location opposite the beach, everything provided, comfortable beds. The bus stop is a short walk up the street and you can go to the other beaches easily. Supermarket is close by as is the bottle shop and a couple of great restaurants! We would recommend this apartment for an ideal getaway!!
