Guest Reviews

I really enjoyed staying in Magnums. Our double room was comfy and the shared bathrooms and camp kitchen were kept clean.
The location is the highlight of this accommodations being right on the strip of Airlie Beach but pushed but inside a peaceful rainforest setting for a relaxing stay/sleep.
Staff on reception, grounds and cleaning are all super friendly and helpful! Our lovely receptionist helped us organise a last minute tour and we received $10 off per person as guests.
I would definitely stay here again.

My stay was so much better than expected. Amazing location, clean facilities and a price tag cheaper than anywhere in town. The massive and sparkling clean kitchen was a pleasant surprise. My room was near the back of the map, near the cabins, and I couldn't hear a thing from the pub out front on a Saturday night. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here, again. Traveled solo, female, age 40

I loved the setting here & would stay again. The birds singing in the morning is beautiful. Loved the location, everything. Highly recommend it!

We had a great stay at Magnums Accommodation in Airlie Beach! The service was excellent, and Maite deserves a special mention for her kindness, friendliness and helpfulness. She made us feel very welcome and made our experience even better. Thank you, Maite, for your amazing service! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep.

One of the best places we’ve stayed on the East Coast. Feels like a jungle. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean. The kitchens were good and always clean. The bar has lots going on but is separate so the rooms are quiet. Would definitely return to Magnums!

We loved staying at Magnums! The overall setting and location were amazing! It was tucked away in a lovely leafy area but you were literally a minute away from the main street. The rooms were cosy and the communal kitchen was great. Special shoutout to Maria at the front desk, she was extremely helpful when we were trying to book a last minute day trip! She also helped us arrange extending our stay, which made everything so easy for us!

The location is superb, right in the heart of the city center, next to McDonald's and WWS, making dining and shopping very convenient. We booked a boat trip with the hotel, and the morning bus even picks us up from near the hotel. Everything was convenient and perfect. Although the toilets are shared, they were super clean!

Lovely accommodation right in the centre of Airlie Beach. We requested a late check in and the process was made so smooth and straightforward by staff here. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

I stopped in the Magnums Tourist Information Desk and Carolyn assisted me and that was the most amazing help I’ve had in Airlie Beach. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

An exceptional experience that exceeded my expectations.The location is excellent. It’s right in the centre, close to everything, and there’s a supermarket practically at the doorstep.  Everything was exactly as described and as reserved.

The shared kitchen is a great touch, and the hotel's location is perfect with a McDonald's and supermarket nearby, which is super convenient. The staff were very friendly. I'd definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit the Whitsundays.

What a beautiful place to stay in the heart of beautiful Arlie Beach. Everything is at your fingertips. We will be back.

10/10 What a beautiful place to stay. It's like walking into the forest in Ubud but strangely in the middle of town. Walking distance to everywhere.

Tucked away behind a busy sports bar (we were amazed we couldn't hear a thing!) Magnums exceeded our expectations! The rooms are basic but have everything you need and being surrounded by nature is very peaceful! The location is perfect and the reception staff are brilliant! (Shoutout to Jules who helped us so much!!) Definitely recommend a stay here!

The room was clean and tidy, with complete facilities. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the location was convenient. The soundproofing was excellent, making for a super pleasant stay. It's great value for money, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip!

The location is just fantastic, you won’t find anywhere better. Walkable to pretty much everything popular in Airlie beach.
The room itself was fantastic and secluded, you feel like you’re in a private rainforest retreat.

I really enjoyed my stay at Magnums. The location is perfect, the price is affordable, had great amenities including a laundry area and the staff helped me book tours & excursions!

What a lovely place nestled right next to Airlie Beach. Such a pleasant place to stay with lovely staff and amenities

Thought I would do something different and stay at a backpackers - I am always staying in hotels and feel so disconnected from people . Was worried that I am so much older - but was good to see the age range was from 20’s to 60+ . It really is a fun place - yes it’s a little like camping to me - I stayed in private room - great price . Kitchen fully loaded with every appliance and kitchen gear . I’ll be back!

I have stayed here twice and would recommend staying here to anyone, probably best value in Airlie. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the communal kitchen is always clean and well equipped. The staff are accommodating and friendly. Housekeeping staff and maintainance are excellent. Even though Magnums is in the centre of town, you feel like you are in town at all with a property rich with vegetation.

Excellent location - so close to everything! Loved the tropical jungle surroundings - it made it seem like I wasn’t in a tourist town once I was on the Magnums property. I definitely recommend this place to other travellers!

We loved the place it was perfect location, clean private room and shared bathroom but all clean. Staff friendly and we loved the amenities with equipped kitchen and bbq on site! The gardens are really nice. We loved the concept thx

My sister and I adored our time at Magums Airlie Beach! You couldn't beat the location right in the heart of the main strip which was so close to absolutely everything, yet the accommodation itself was peaceful and quiet. The staff at the front desk were also incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I will be recommending this place!

Had a great experience at Magnums Airlie Beach! Checking in and storing our luggage went very smoothly. Special shoutout to Nicole and Celia at the front desk - they truly went above and beyond and were so helpful!!

This place is really really cool and comfortable, all the amenities, customer service and other staff was really soft and amazing. Thank you so much.

The Self-contained cabin was perfect for our stay! The amenities in the mini kitchen were great, it was very clean, and the noise from the bar was buffered nicely by the surrounding plants and foliage. Plus - the party seemed to quiet down by 10 - even on Friday night.

So nice we stayed twice!! Loved this place. The staff are all so nice! Comfy beds, clean areas! Great kitchen, never too busy. With air fryer too!

The best location in Airlie Beach - right in the heart of the action. Shops, restaurants, etc. are all right next door. Despite this, it's very quiet in the middle of a tropical garden. Simply great!

Great one night stay the night before our Whitsundays excursion. Basic, comfy, clean rooms with air con and fan. Tea / coffee facilities in room plus a little fridge really made the difference.
Nice grounds and located right on the Main Street in Airlie Beach. Reception staff are very helpful. Shout out to Jules in particular who was very welcoming and helpful.

We stayed in a self contained bungalow and mate,it was great...Walking thru the jungle to our hut was the best experience...The shower was unbelievably powerful and warm...The ambience and atmosphere was so peaceful away from the party harders out the front...We felt we were the oldest at Magnum's but that's ok,we enjoyed it thoroughly...

Exceptional service, parking included, extremely friendly staff!

Cabin was great, close to everything, wifi was fantastic, and all around a great experience. Would book again!

Not only was the location perfect for the attractions in Airlie Beach but the cabin was exactly what I needed as an independent mature traveller - ensuite, TV and access to a laundry and a kitchen. . My cabin was located at the rear of the site and no noise was heard at all. The forest feel gave the atmosphere a peaceful ambiance. Cannot fault it!

Great unit, amazing setting, right in the middle of Airlie beach! Staff were super helpful on check in with local info etc. great stay. Thanks!

Great hostel, nice small rooms with towels, bathroom in excellent condition and always shared with only a few people. The facility is very nice and the kitchen is great. Reception very nice and helpful.

We loved our cabin! It was quiet, clean, spacious and wonderfully cool. The air-conditioning worked SO well! The check-in staff were friendly and helpful. It was wonderful to be so close to everything. We enjoyed walking to the beach, shops and restaurants. Our only regret was that we just had one night to spend!

Magnums was a fantastic base to avail of everything Airlie Beach has to offer. Located right in the middle of everything and a stones throw from the sea, the location is as good as it gets….. topped only by the helpful reception staff. Ciara in particular who helped me make the most of my time with last minute your plans and went above and beyond to make sure I could extend my stay on a fully booked NRL final weekend, along with her colleague, Katie, I really couldn’t have asked for more and they made sure I made the most of my stay despite my lack of organisation.

Had a lovely comfortable stay at Magnums on our way to Cairns. The cabin was cosy, clean and very comfortable. Had a really restful night's sleep in the very comfy bed. Reception staff were lovely and a big shout-out to Nicole. I had injured my foot and was struggling to walk. She accompanied me to and helped me get to my cabin. Thank you for your care and kindness Nicole. Made a huge difference. Loved staying here and definitely on the radar to stay for future trips.

Love Magnums!!  It's my go to - favourite place to stay. Clean, quiet, perfect location Airlie HQ

The location was amazing and the plants have a very "noise cancelling" effect from the main street! Room and shared bathroom are very clean and the kitchen is super clean and fully equipped. The staff was super and helped us with all our questions! Thanks. 

Beautiful set in a rainforest in the heart of Airlie Beach, this place is amazing! Super clean, facilities top notch, location couldn't possibly be any better but the best thing is the wonderful, helpful, friendly Jules at the front desk, what a legend thanks for making our stay perfect!

Inexpensive accommodation in a beautiful garden setting, kitchen facilities, birdsong to wake you up, pub on the doorstep (with live music) and you're right in the middle of the main street.

Arrived in Airlie for a week long holiday and popped into Magnums to see what tours I could book/ things I could do. The staff were super helpful and helped me book in 3 tours while I was in. Katie in training, Jools & Ciara were honestly the most friendly people and went above and beyond to sort my tours out for me. They are a true credit to your team. They booked me in for a trip to Hamilton, big fury & jet skis, which were absolutely outstanding. Would definitely book back in with these girls when I come back to Airlie again ?

The location was amazing, and at the reception we booked all the activities that we were going to do during our stay in Airlie Beach. The staff from the hostel were amazing and also the amenities and the facilities. Everything was incredible.

I had such a lovely stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it really felt like home. Jules at reception was incredibly kind and attentive — honestly the best service I’ve received in years. There was also a lovely girl from Ireland (I wish I remembered her name!) who was equally friendly and helpful. Even the cleaning staff were super sweet and always greeted us with a smile. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a great time there. Easy access, clean and tidy, convenience, and we really loved the atmosphere like a jungle. We want to come back again! Thank you for the good memories!

Amazing setting in bush. Staff very welcoming. One of the best accommodation of its type we have stayed in. Would return if back in beautiful Airlie Beach and the Magnums Live Music next door is great.

A unique hostel experience. We stayed in a queen cabin with an ensuite. It had fun cabin vibes and was clean and tidy. The ac/heat was fantastic, bed was comfortable and the staff were incredible. We look forward to staying here again. I am convinced that this hostel is a cheaper and better alternative to some of the other fancier hotel and resort accoms. Absolutely worth checking out Magnums.

Stayed for two nights – peaceful jungle feel despite being near the main road. Clean room with fridge and cutlery, plus spotless kitchen and bathrooms. As a 40+ solo female traveler on a budget, I felt safe and comfortable. Great value and location. Would recommend!

Magnums was the perfect base for our stay in Airlie Beach. The location couldn’t have been better, right in the heart of town with everything within easy walking distance. Our room was simple but very clean and comfortable, exactly what we needed. Despite being so close to the bar, we didn’t hear any noise at all at night, which made for a really relaxing stay. Overall, a great spot with free parking.
