We ended up at 'Sails on Horseshoe' as were told that the two other places we asked at on Horsehoe Bay were fully booked. This was hard to believe when we discovered that we were the only two short-term guests at Sails. However, that suited us fine. We felt we had a private residence: the pool was almost ours alone;...

It has been a while since we stayed at Sails. Our first experience was a pleasant one with great accommodation & great, friendly service. How times have changed (or maybe not). The decor and kitchen, bathroom & furniture were still the same since we were last there. The aircons badly needed a good clean & the main bedroom a/c smelled... More

My wife an I stayed at Sails for two weeks in August and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were there on the recommendation of friends who take an annual holiday at 'Maggie' and they were also there for the first few days after we arrived. For this reason we took a one bedroom apartment for the first few days and after... More

Management invisible: not once were we asked if everything was OK. Simply disinterested management. Very dated rooms and furnishings for the price. Not an upmarket experience at all and certainly not worth the price. Quite insulting to charge so much ($200+) for such old hat. The owners should be ashamed for promoting this as "modern 4 star luxury" on their... More

I am from cairns and work in the Hospitality industry so im not usually too fond of staying in Hotels/resorts as it reminds me of work. However, we came to Magnetic island and stayed tat Sails for 3 nights. and all i can say, it was the perfect gettaway. The hosts/managers are lovely, the resort is clean and tidy. The... More

We have stayed at Sails for many years and there is no doubt this is a top location, beach front at Horseshoe Bay. But this year we felt fed up with the tired old kitchen utensils and just a feeling that the place lacks that extra special touch. Advertised as self-contained but very old utensils, buckled fry-pan, dirty toaster, blunt... More

My husband and I were looking for a weekend get-away and found the perfect spot on Horseshoe Bay. Sails on Horseshoe sits right on the bay (on the quiet side) but just moments away from the shops. We stayed in an ocean front, downstairs, one bedroom unit and just loved it! The managers, Chris & Alistair were very welcoming, friendly... More

Stayed for a couple of nights at Sails on Horseshoe in July. The location is fantastic - we have stayed at Sails several times and I do think it's the best situated at Horseshoe bay as it's away from the pub (noise) but only a 2 minute walk. My only complaint is that the resort is getting very tired and... More

Stayed at Sails on Horseshoe for 3 nights in July 2009. Had a great little 1 bedroom ocean front apartment on the ground floor. The location is sensational. An easy walk from the bus stop at Horseshoe Bay and brilliant views from the front door. Across the road and you're on the beach. Perfect. Apartment 5 is well kitted out... More
