Guest Reviews

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!!

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.

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.

So clean and quiet yet in the middle of everything. Can’t fault this accommodation! 

Best hostel my friend and I have ever stayed in. So clean/comfy and all the staff are so cheerful and happy to chat :) Exceptional service by all Reception staff, especially Maria! 

Amazing location! The hostel is drown in nature, which feels so relaxing. Once you get out, you're right in the center of Airlie Beach. It was comfy, clean and the kitchen had everything you need.

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!

Kitchen was spotless. Rooms were basic, but had everything needed Toilets were clean. No noise at night which was great! Black out blinds in rooms. It was all great!

I came here because it had been recommended to me and I was right to choose it. Very clean, a very well equipped kitchen and a very pleasant atmosphere. I would choose it again if I had to repeat. The rooms are comfortable and very well equipped for its size.

Super functional, great location, staff was friendly. Kitchen was super useful. A Woolies is like 10 steps away and you are a block away from the ocean and 3 min walk to the Lagoon which is an awesome public pool. Recommended!

What a fantastic place to stay! It's so quiet that you wouldn't know that you were in the centre of town & just one block from the beach. Woolworths, BWS, cafes, restaurants, etc right next door. P.S. Highly recommend KC's for food & music!

We stayed here for 3 nights, which was amazing. I was a bit worried that it would be loud at night since a bar was nearby, but it was really quiet. Rooms are small but not too much. It gives a nice cosy vibe and was in a natural environment. Kitchen was really clean and has pretty much all utensils. Toilets and showers were clean and we didn’t have any comflict with other people using those facilities. Has an ac and a fan, which were working well. I was sad that I needed to leave here ;(

Super central and nevertheless in a quiet and green oasis (at least if you are staying in the private cabins). Loved sitting on the terrace in front of my cabin. Special thanks and shout-out to Jules at the reception: so knowledgeable! Really great recommendations for tours!

Centrally placed. Parking easy and convenient particularly for cabin 67. All required facilities present and functional. I cannot think of a better place to stay next visit.

A great cabin and perfectly located at the back of the resort so was very quiet. Absolutely in the centre of Airlie Beach. Highly recommended. I will be back.

First of all, I would like to highlight the exceptional work done by the hotel's housekeeping team. Everything is very clean. The toilets are cleaned regularly and the kitchen is one of the cleanest I've had in any hostel I've been to in Australia. The hotel is quiet and the setting is pleasant in a forest that is quite relaxing. The staff is very professional and serious. Good value and great location in Airlie!

One of the nicest hostels I have been to! We got a private room and although it was small it was exactly what we needed! There were cutlery and plates and bowls in our room if we needed and there was even a mini fridge! They even provided towels. The bathrooms were really nice, and the kitchen was in great condition and very clean! The property as a whole was great and it was in minutes walk of the beach and lagoon and about a one minute walk to Woolworths! Really pleasant stay and I would definitely come back again.

The staff at Magnums are super welcoming and friendly and super helpful. It’s a very budget friendly venue and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Big shoutout to Maria, Dianne, and Shannan who made our experience booking the accommodation, finding our way around Airlie, and booking tours seamless, easy, stress free, and cost effective! Thanks to everyone at Magnums for the amazing stay. Walking into this accommodation we were surprised by how large it was and by the amazing amenities available to us to use. The hostel is like an amazing jungle escape and the grounds are so well cared for. We really felt like we got the full tropical experience in large part thanks to the amazing atmosphere created by the Magnums hostel. We will be back!

Was fantastic, way better than we expected.... Lagoon across the road, supermarket next door and free parking. Jules got us an awesome sailing trip at short notice on Tongarra. We booked direct, our flight was late and they arranged a late check in which worked well. 

The best place I have ever stayed for the PERFECT price. I can’t wait to go here every year! In the centre of town so it’s easy to go anywhere and everywhere. The staff were also literally the most amazing people I have ever met!

Great place! Great location! It's like staying in a rainforest but is close to attractions, restaurants, and shopping! We stayed in a private cabin, which was clean, spacious, had a private bathroom and everything we needed. Magnums even supplied ear plugs which was a nice touch, but we didn't need them. The vibe and atmosphere is fantastic. If you want to be social you can drink at the bar or play pool, or you can chill in the room and listen to the birds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

Such a beautiful place to stay, being amongst the trees/nature felt like we were staying in the jungle. Kitchen was clean and had everything you needed. Loads of outdoor seating areas with fairy lights everywhere. The bar connected was always buzzing with live music and lots of people.

Fantastic property, more of a resort rather than a hostel. I stayed in a cheap private room to chill after coming back from a Whitsunday trip and this was ideal. There is a cool rainforest vibe to the place and it's got everything you need. 

This accommodation is great! It’s designed as a tropical resort with multiple cabins throughout the property. Rooms and bathrooms are clean (bathrooms surprisingly clean since they are open to the outdoors!), the kitchen is well stocked and the location is perfect. It is attached to the Magnums bar with outdoor seating area and nightly live music, which was very fun! And despite the proximity to the bar, noise cannot be heard from the rooms. Highly recommend for young travellers, solo backpackers, couples or friends:)

The room was super comfortable and came with great amenities such as a mini fridge, plates cutlery etc. The bathrooms felt clean and were easy to get to for everyone, regardless of where you were staying as they were on each floor. Wi-Fi was really and staff were super helpful. Kitchen was very clean and in nice condition and there was also an outside BBQ area which was fun to use. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the property.

This place is beautiful!! The rooms were so comfy, a lot of space and had all the amenities we needed. Opening our bedroom door to this beautiful jungle every morning <3

I love the cabin and be able to walk down through the beautifully landscaped gardens down to the night life of Airlie Beach. So convenient will be staying there on our next visit to the area.

Can only recommend, really clean shared bathrooms, clean shared kitchen (I was impressed!), simple but clean rooms, lovely and helpful staff at Reception. Location is great too, right on the high street of Airlie beach. Thank you.

Love this place, tropical garden setting. My room was comfortable and clean. All staff were helpful and did their jobs diligently. Place in the centre of town surrounded by lots to do and eat.

Everything about Magnums Airlie was amazing! Arrived late, got late check in easily. Staff responded to all questions before arriving. Hostel grounds one of the best we've been to! Stayed in 2 double private room and had bar fridge. Everything was clean, tons of outdoor seating spaces with large umbrellas or in sun. In middle of town but you would never know it on hostel grounds. Large kitchen, huge fridges, Magnums Bar - fab live bands. Jules and Chris rock Reception & tour booking!

Didn’t expect a little hut but wow it was fantastic. Everything to hand, clean and definitely value for money.

Really good value for money! You get a perfect location and live in a jungle for a few days. Not the most luxurious but for the price I think it was excellent. Highly recommend if you’re on a budget and want to be central to Airlie Beach.

Magnums is located right in the middle of beautiful restaurants, pubs, shops and much more. The reception was fantastic and Julie was great at explaining all the tours. Seeing it’s next to a pub we were worried about noise at night, but we couldn’t hear anything which was great. And such a short walk to the lagoon was awesome. Definitely will stay again!

Positive: The location of the property could not have been any better. The rooms were comfortable and the facilities were very clean. I loved everything about the accommodation, really great vibes and just a lovely place to spend time. Negative: Nothing at all - just wished I could stay longer!

Close to everything, good value, great facilities and great staff. We decided to stay here instead of a fancy hotel, due to how much time we spent out and about, the value, and how close it is to everything. They have all you need - kitchen, laundry, bar, it’s next to a shopping centre, bottle shop, and your services!

Really charming because it is located in a natural area with lots of vegetation. And it’s super convenient in the middle of the town.

We came to Airlie Beach so we could access the Whitsunday islands. Because we wanted to do a sailing trip, we didn’t want to spend a fortune on accommodation. Magnums offered great accommodation for an affordable price which meant we could afford to eat out at some of the local restaurants.
Communication before our visit was great. Staff were friendly & helpful (particularly at the main desk). Loved the location of Magnums - so close to everything!
Highly recommend this as an accommodation option when at Airlie Beach.

What a treat, busy bustling street at the front and tranquil rainforest at the back. Staff are great, specially Chris, he made our trip! He listened to what we wanted and tailored the trips to suit us!

Clean, affordable and comfortable spot right in the middle of Airlie Beach! Great to walk to restaurants or meet up spots for tours of the Whitsundays.

We had a wonderful stay at Magnums accommodation. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect - really close to the restaurants, shops, and beach. Would definitely stay here again!

The queen cabin was much larger than I expected and the hotel team was amazing. Proximity to everything in Airlie was fantastic. Magnums bar was so fun and right outside my door. 10/10 recommend to any traveller!
