Guest Reviews

• Virginia (10/5): Kate was so lovely! Will go again! Maggie is magical! - Location and host The pool is actually shared with people who stay in 1-2 caravans within the property but all good! It’s huge!
• Volker (10/5): - Kate ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Wir genossen den stimmungsvollen Empfang, den tollen tropischen Garten und den privaten Swimmingpool. Alles sehr ästhetisch und stilvoll eingerichtet. Nichts.
• Michael (10/5): Fabelhafte Unterkunft in tropischem Garten - Außergewöhnlich gut ausgestattet, sehr stilvoll dekoriert, frische Blumen auf dem Tisch. Sehr hochwertige und umfangreiche Ausstattung. Ein kleines tropisches Paradies mit Vogelgezwitscher, schönem Pool und einer super liebenswürdigen und hilfsbereiten Vermieterin. Sehr fürsorglich und herzlich. Ein Traum und ein toller Ort zum wohlfühlen. Toller Außenbereich mit Grill. Internet teilweise etwas schwach, aber bei der schönen Lokation grillt man lieber draußen mit einem schönen Getränk, als im Internet zu sein 😉
• Brent (9/5): Wonderful place, highly recommended - The location, grounds and pool were amazing as was the host, Kate. She was there when you needed her and not when you didn't. She was extremely generous and caring. You will struggle to find a better host. The place was very clean with a brand new bathroom, comfortable bedroom and living room. A dishwasher would have been a bonus but not an issue.
• Trisha (10/5): The best getaway I’ve had in ages! Thank you Kate for making it feel like home x - Everything, very comfy bed! Nothing, it was amazing!
• Maxime (10/5): -

• Christine (8/5): Schönes Ambiente in tropischer Lage - Sehr schöne Lage. Möbel sehr ansprechend. Bad war sehr alt und gehört modernisiert. Spülmaschine wäre noch schön.
• Kennedy (9/5): Much appreciated tranquility - All aspects of our stay were above expectations. Kate was friendly, very helpful and very appreciative of feedback. We would thoroughly recommend this very tranquil setting. Everything was to our liking and much appreciated.
• Uwe (10/5): - Sehr ansprechend eingerichtete Wohnung, schön großzügig, sehr gute Betten, Küche vollständig eingerchtet, toller Pool mit Magnesium, schöner Garten..Eine Wohlfühloase..Kate war sehr liebenswert und hilfsbereit mit guten Tips. Alles in allem ein super Aufenthalt. Es gibt nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hätte.

• Penélope (10/5): Súper recomendable!! - Todo! :) La casa es preciosa y la anfitriona, Kate, se nota que ha cuidado cada detalle. Además todo estaba increíblemente limpio! Súper tranquilo y muy cerca del ferry y de los eestaurantes y supermercado. Cocina con todo lo necesario y piscina perfecta! Uno de los mejores sitios en los que nos hemos alojado. Nada. Todo perfecto!
• Julie (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing although did and saw most of the island. - It was a hidden gem. Lovely setting. Very calming. So comfortable. Close to the bus stop for the ferry. 20 minute walk to the marina. The island is beautiful and the people very friendly. Kate was lovely felt like I’d known her first years. So helpful, even gave me a lift to the ferry which was great. Would definitely recommend and return.
• Mandy (9/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): Perfection on Magnetic Island - Just… lovely all round. Kate kindly met us at the harbour off the ferry and took us back. She’s a superb host and so helpful. The property is located in a quiet street in serene surroundings - Project Tranquility certainly lives up to its name! Gorgeous property with a pool (use it!) and a lovely bedroom. Really nicely appointed and lots of essentials in the fridge. Great to have a washing machine. I love the personal touches such as quality toiletries, essential oils etc. This place is hard to beat. Go and enjoy the peace and relax. Also, keep your eyes pealed for koalas 🐨 on the Forts Walk and feed the wallabies - a great experience. Absolutely nothing! This place is great.

• Alan (9/5): A very pleasant stay that exceeded our expectations. - Very convenient location, lovely large living space with large digital TV, large seperate bedroom with very comfortable king size bed. Everything was spotlessly clean. Had a beautiful large swimming pool which was a bonus. Host was very good to communicate with and couldn’t have been more helpful.
• Vanna (9/5): Like Staying at a Stylish Aunt’s — But Better - We couldn’t be happier with our stay at Project Tranquillity. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another booking. It felt like a true retreat. The setting is gorgeous, the pool is beautiful, and every detail has been carefully thought through. What really set Project Tranquillity apart were all the little touches. These are the things most places overlook, but here they were done with care and intention. It felt more like staying in the holiday house of a generous, stylish aunt than something you’d find online.

Location is also really convenient. Above all, Kate’s exceptional hospitality truly made us feel like at home. Kate shared with us so many useful tips what to do on the island and she was so kind to take us with her car to the nearby place with wallabies that is not that famous among tourists. What is more, she gave us a ride to the ferry. Once we are back on Magnetic Island, we’ll definietely book Project Tranquility again!

The owner Kate was really friendly and welcoming which made the stay even better and we also loved the dog Winston who was good boy! If we visit the island again we will definitely be staying here, made some great memories here.

• Tobin (10/5): May set an unrealistic expectation for other places. Don't think this place can be beat - The light switches were in every spot that made sense.

It’s a beautiful space, well equipped to stay in and just enjoy your day by the pool.

We only had two nights and wish we stayed longer.
• Darryl (10/5): Perfect - Kate is the most generous and welcoming host we have experienced on any holiday. Our delayed plane meant we lost half a day and she did everything she could to make the stay easy for us. Quite amazing. The apartment and pool is nestled in a beautiful and quiet tropical garden.

We would 100% recommend staying there and would advise to stay more than one night, as Magnetic Island is stunning and the accomodation makes ist even more wonderful. Kate is simply a perfect host.

There is AC to cool all the rooms down and the bed is extremely comfortable. The pool is perfect and there is a lot of space to relax in front of the apartement.
