We had a fantastic night stay at Tee's accommodation on Magnetic Island. Tania and Steve were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful. Tania & Steve couldn't have been more helpful. We were really tight on time and wouldn't have managed to see much of Magnetic Island, but Tania & Steve very kindly drove us around and showed us places we wouldn't have got to see. They even took us koala spotting!! Tania & Steve were the best hosts ever and we really appreciate everything they did for us. Thanks so much. Katie, Charlie, Jess & Thomas

Great camping!
We loved absolutely everything about that camping! Tee and Steve were there to show us around and answer any questions we would have. Also the place is just perfect! You can even stand there while not self contained (with a little bit more of effort). Tee and Steve also gave us some great tips for the island and we wish we could have stayed longer than two nights.

Wonderful bush camp
My family of five had the most wonderful time at The Forts, and Tee and Steve were such warm, cheerful and helpful hosts. The sites are so well thought out and designed. Ours (Pineapple Patch) was huge and the hammocks, beanbags, fire pit and decking was such a surprise, as was the water hook up. There was a koala in the tree when we arrived and our kids spent most of the time cuddling the chooks and chicks. We really appreciated the local insights from Tee about all the things to see and do on Maggie. Wonderful, wonderful stay - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!
