Set in Nelly Bay, Project Tranquility, Magnetic Island offers accommodation with private pool, free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive. The air-conditioned accommodation is 500 metres from Nelly Bay Beach. Guests can make use of a terrace. The apartment is really spacious and well equipped, we highly appreciated different ingredients that were available in the Kitchen and an opportunity to do a barbecue. 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!

Offering a garden and pool view, Windspray is set in Horseshoe Bay, less than 1 km from Horseshoe Bay Beach and 7.9 km from Magnetic Island National Park. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The room, bathroom and outdoor area are all comfortable and very nicely designed. Catherine and David were great hosts and extremely helpful in providing us with tips for snorkeling and hiking. The location is great, a short walk to the beach and about 20min to forts function (or a very short drive).

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, Salt Ayres is situated in Horseshoe Bay. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 1.3 km from Horseshoe Bay Beach. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. The home was nothing short of perfect. Designed beautifully with the most amazing outdoor entertainment and pool area. Multiple outdoor seating areas, bar fridge, outdoor TV, heaps of pool toys, mini golf putting, playground area for kids, and outdoor shower - perfect!! Inside, there wasn't a single thing we needed that the house didn't have. An abundance of plates/cups/cutlery/glasses/stubby holders/tea towels/garbage bags...you name it, it was there. The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had air conditioning. The upstairs area was kitted out to sleep up to 6 kids with the coolest kids zone, equipped with PS4, games, books and toys. The house was spotlessly clean and presented like a show home. It's set slightly of the beaten track meaning no noisy backpackers or traffic noise. You could technically walk to Horseshoe Bay as it's about 30 min walk, but easier by car. To top the experience off, there was a sleepy, dozy Koala living in the tree across from the house - how good!! Can't fault anything about this property and can't wait to come back.

Situated within 800 metres of Geoffrey Bay Beach and 8.4 km of Magnetic Island National Park in Nelly Bay, Magnetic Glamping provides accommodation with seating area. With pool views, this accommodation offers a patio and a swimming pool. The luxury tent also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. It was so easy to get to - a short walk from the ferry, and so easy access to the island bus service and walking tracks around Nelly Bay. The "tents" were extremely well appointed and comfortable!

Located in Picnic Bay, 400 metres from Rocky Bay Beach and 5.7 km from Magnetic Island National Park, Rosalita, Picnic Bay offers a garden and air conditioning. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.4 km from Magnetic Island Marina. Thank you, Rod, for a great stay! The house was spotless, and your thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. There is so much made available to guests, such as snorkelling and picnic gear and a range of board games. We appreciate your quick responses and helpful recommendations of what's to do on Magnetic Island. The accommodation is only a very short walk from the Maggie Island Brewery, which was an awesome place to visit, with great food and beverage options right at your doorstep. We felt very comfortable during our stay and the layout is very private, Rod has done a great job 👏 We look forward to staying again one day soon.

Situated in Nelly Bay, Queen Safari Tent 10 offers beachfront accommodation 800 metres from Geoffrey Bay Beach and features various facilities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Rooms come with a balcony with pool views and free WiFi. Accommodation was good, well equipped and comfy. Unfortunately for us it was raining without pause for 2 days while we were there, so we didn't enjoy the island as planned. A good thing for the tent is that it can endure really big amounts of water. Water was everywhere except in the tent. It has even created a small lake around the tent base, but tents are on an elevated wooden base, so everything was ok.
