Magnums is gorgeous!

I stayed for a week in a private ensuite room and it was just perfect. Such a relaxing environment with lots of accommodation options. The staff were all fantastic, and gave great recommendations on local activities. The location is spot on. I will definitely be back! Thanks so much again for having me.

Stay Satisfaction 5/5

... I am very impressed with my cabin, layout is comfortable and adequate. The lush gardens are tropical and promotes a relaxing atmosphere. Location of accommodation appears to be very central. The closeness of Woolworths, cafe and bottle shop is a bonus. Staff friendly.

Love it!

The place is pretty big and super green! We loved that there are plants everywhere :) You will find everything there- place for bbq, huge kitchen, laundry, bar, restaurant :) Beach and markets are pretty close. Beds are comfy.

We absolutely loved that place

We had a twin room and it felt like our little home. The houses are in between beautiful trees and the cabins are cute. The location is amazing, close to Arlie Beach and both Marinas (for the ferry to Hamilton and the boat and snorkelling tours). The room was exceptionally clean. And the staff was lovely.

Impressed!

Was really impressed with this hostel. The kitchen was the cleanest we had cooked in in Australia. The staff were very helpful. Our room was really clean too. It's right in the middle of Airlie beach too!.

WOW!

Perfect place to stay right behind the main strip of Airlie Beach. Cabin was simple, with everything we needed. Short walk to the bar, 2 more steps to the shops, and across onto the stunning beaches. Loved it! We will be back!

Our best stay in Australia so far

Perfect location and warm, friendly staff. Our room (private bunk bed) was everything we needed. Comfortable beds, plenty of power outlets, small fridge, kettle, Fan and air conditioning. You share toilets and showers with around 10 others but we always found it available when we needed it. The bathrooms and shower are somewhat open to the element so you do need to be prepared to share the facilities with a few moths. However, even as someone not so keen on moths I found this to be a minimal issue. Kitchen is well laid out and stocked, there is a BBQ area for those interested and ample laundry facilities. Aside from all the necessities this hostel is so unique and a lovely change from many you will find in Australia. We fell in love with it's personality and would absolutely come back in future should we be passing through.

I highly recommend

Apartments exactly the size for two people in bunk beds, with a bathroom and shower that serves three bedrooms. Clean bathroom and good shower. There is also the option of an apartment with a bathroom in the bedroom. Well wooded location, with tropical gardening. The kitchen, fully equipped. Stainless steel countertops. Two vats, hot water, and it is shared by all hostel guests. The location isn't even mentioned. I think it's the best in Airlie Beach. With a bar and live 🎸 music every night. The reception also makes tour reservations (not to be missed). Sand volleyball courts, storage and laundry Everything is a TEN.

Would definitely stay again

I really enjoyed this hostel for the location, and the staff were super friendly. I was able to leave my luggage while I went off to the islands which was helpful and I generally felt safe there too. The layout is pretty unique for a hostel and the added extras like having a fridge in the room was amazing. I would for sure stay here again whenever I’m back in Airlie.

Amazing

This is one of the most amazing hostels/budget hotels I have ever stayed in! Although the rooms are a bit outdated - the place is super beautiful, surrounded by jungle - and in the heart of Airlie Beach. Staff is always super friendly - and the pub is the heart of the party in town - without being noisy to guests - which is quite unique. Really loved it here - can highly recommend it!

5 stars

Great location, right in the centre of town, however completely tucked away, private, quiet, and secure. Highly recommend for someone who wants to be able to walk out your front door and be right in the heart of Airlie but also wants accommodation that is private and quiet.

10/10 Accommodation in Airlie

We stayed in one of their private bedrooms and were really pleased with the well-equipped room (small fridge, fan & air-con) and location of the accommodation. The staff was really helpful and we specifically appreciate Jules from the Reception team for the warm welcome.

Magnums is awesome

Magnums is totally awesome in every way. The staff: Jules, Maria, Rachael and Nicole are amazing. Nothing's ever too hard, these girls have always been accommodating and made my stay perfect. I have booked all my trips with them and still do after 20 years. Rooms are amazing and you're located in the main street across from the beach. Call any of the girls they'd love to help! Highly recommended *****

Wonderful experience

After the wonderful experiences we had at Magnums last year, we travelled to Airlie Beach again this year on our big trip to Australia and stayed at Magnums again for two weeks. Our wish to get the same cabin again was fulfilled. We were very happy here again, went swimming in the lagoon and the sea and read on the terrace of our hut when it rained. Of course, our “friend” Maria at the Reception gave us again great advice for a trip to Whitehaven Beach and also gave us other valuable advice. But, the entire Reception staff has to be mentioned and complimented for their friendliness and helpfulness. The cleaning staff is always very friendly and can only be praised for their good work. As soon as we leave, we will be longing to stay at Magnums again.

Brilliant stay in Airlie Beach

We had two brilliant stays separated by a 3 day tour. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and the place is amazing, like being in a rainforest. Can’t recommend highly enough. Great location.

Fantastic place and value

The room for two was perfect for me and my friend, it was pretty clean, the fridge, air con and fan were working very well. One bathroom and shower for each 3 rooms was enough and easy to access from the room. They offer free storage to leave the bags if you need it while enjoy your day.

Great place to stay!

The Location was excellent right in the centre area. Friendly helpful staff. I booked a private chalet type room - and it was absolutely fabulous - roomy, excellent facilities, exceptionally clean and quiet. The key drop box was handy as I checked out early in the morning. Negative: Nothing - it was all great.

Had a great time here!

Had a great time here! Stayed just one night, arrived after hours, so phoned ahead to let Reception know. They advised they would pop a key in a safe box for us and text us the pin number, which they did. Super smooth check in. The room was fine, and the overall layout and feel of the place was great! Excellent location, right across the street from the lagoon. The friendly Reception staff were happy to mind our bags for a few hours after we checked out. Highly recommend this place 😊

The location!

The location of this hotel was great! It’s very close to the beach, shops, bars, and restaurants. Even though the downtown area can be a bit noisy I couldn’t really hear it from my room. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the facilities were very clean too.

Really convenient location

Really convenient location, right in the middle of everything. Love the rainforest vibes - had a private double with shared bathroom and although bathroom is all open, didn’t have any issues with cleanliness or bugs etc. Kitchen was always clean and plenty of space for cooking, not crowded. Staff were really friendly and helpful with booking trips, one of the reception staff remembered us and our plans personally a couple of days after check in which was nice. Would recommend & return.

Can't fault the place

Stayed for 3 nights for my birthday in Airlie beach and really enjoyed it. The place is so well run, clean, generous sized queen cabins, fully equipped kitchens with plenty of space. The adults-only element is perfect as it stops the screaming kids, and associated chaos 😂 The location is excellent, right in the centre of everything! The layout of the resort is genius because we never heard a single sound after 10pm from our cabin. There is a lively atmosphere out front with music and themed nights. Can't fault the place....I wish I had the money to stay a month, haha!!

Probably the best hostel on the East Coast!

This hostel was a pleasure to stay at. It was so clean, comfortable, there was plenty of plug sockets in the best places! The showers were good water pressure, good heat, and well designed so you can put your things and they stay dry!! The kitchens were so cleans and the only ones to have air fryers on the whole East Coast we came across! Would highly, highly recommend this hostel. The rooms and area was quiet and good WiFi.

Perfect place to stay!

I stayed in a Queen cabin suite which was lovely. The trees and plants outside gave it a wilderness feel and the room was decorated nicely, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. I had two washing lines outside my room, the parking was easy to get to and close to my room and the laundry and kitchen facilities were easy to use. Honestly this place has everything you need. Central to everything and just a short walk to the lagoon, the beach, the shops, restaurants and bars. This place was perfect for a female solo traveller because there was enough going on at the attached bar to meet new people but it was still quiet at night as my room was set back.

Hidden oasis in the centre of town

A real surprise when we arrived as it was in very busy street & hotel but a little hidden oasis that provided relaxation & privacy yet convenience to walk to everything including shops, lagoon & Port of Airlie.

Lovely little hut that still had room to move and our own veranda to relax on! Great location, central to shops, restaurants and bars. Pretty quiet as at the back of complex which was fantastic for us. Thanks so much!
