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 stay d in private room - great price . Kitchen fully loaded with every appliance and kitchen gear . I’ll be back

For a budget stay, this was a great hostel. We booked a cabin which had its own ensuite. Feels like you are staying in a rainforest, the trees and outside area are lovely.

Great location on Airlie beach and the staff were incredible! It was perfect for a 4 night stay. Would stay here again!

Great for backpackers and people that don't mind a bit of noise coming from the hotel in the evenings / early night.
We booked the self contained cabin thinking it may have been the quietest on site but there were probably other ensuit cabins more towards the back that would have been quieter.

Really terrible! I could ignore the previous guests towels hanging up drying on the porch, the shower not cleaned, but I couldn’t ignore that the bed had bedbugs!!! For the price of the room, I would expect a minimum of a clean bed, I could feel them crawling and biting me all night. I spoke with a staff member the next morning and they said they would investigate and call me back…of course no return call. I guess the next guest will have the same problem! I moved to Airlie Beach Hotel for a fraction more cost, but wonderfully clean and I had a great sleep! Definitely not returning!

Warning: Google Maps has a HARD time here & sent me everywhere except the hotel. Place is in a perfect location (near lagoon/beach & groceries etc), cool jungle setup, clean, powerful AC/fan. If you can, get a ground-level room because it's all stairs. Kitchen was nice tho I couldn't figure out the electric stove, but they have gas as well so no worries. WEAR BUG SPRAY on your lower legs. You won't see the mosquitoes/sand flies but they WILL get you. Luckily they don't need the strong spray (I used citronella oil).

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.

Great except the bathroom.

Fantastic location in the heart of town. Close to a Woolworths and lots of shops and restaurants. Rainforest style pathways which are beautiful to walk through. We stayed in a queen bed cabin. It’s fine all except for the bathroom. Not having proper doors means you hear everything when people use the toilet. The shower kept running out of hot water and the spray is too hard (to the point where it hurts), needs a new shower head. Just a shower curtain meant the water sprays out everywhere and does not drain well. I know this place is on the cheaper end of accommodation so we can live with these things but it seems like it could be a fairly easy fix, at least the doors. It also should have better ventilation in there, there’s mould on the ceiling.

Was a little apprehensive of this property when booking. A \"hostel\" at a relatively low price point was a bit concerning. At 45 years old we were certainly the elder statesmen, but it was cool. Natural, jungly, clean, a little hippy/crunchy, and right next to a grocery and bottle shop. The bar out front was great. Turns out we were at a hostel named Magnums during prise week. Nightly drag shows and \"toad races\". Super wierd, but super fun. We went out on a catamaran for a couple days, and they had convenient luggage storage on site.

Great location

Magnums is very well located in an oasis right in the heart of Airlie Beach. It offers a wide range of accommodation options for all budgets. We stayed in a very comfortable Queen room with ensuite and found it provided well for all our needs.

Was fine to rest your head. We had the small cabins with shared bathrooms and they really are just wooden boxes with a bed inside not much room for anything else. There was only 2 showers for all of the cabins on that block which wasn’t enough. Very outdated rooms and bathrooms.

Highly recommend, great value for money.

Stayed in a cabin, lovely surroundings, comfortable separate cabin, good facilities and wonderful location. Good value for money. Only negative is that the shower was pretty poor. But, highly recommend overall.

We had a queen cabin with en-suite which was really big! The amenities were great, kettle, fridge, hairdryer, toiletries etc and the bed was pretty comfortable. We loved the setting, in the forest, and the convenience of the location with everything nearby. The staff were really friendly too. We had a lovely stay here.

We enjoyed our stay at Magnums and found our room to be very spacious and comfortable. It was particularly convenient that we could store our luggage for free at Magnums while we sailed the Whitsundays before returning for another night at Magnums.

The room smelt weird. The bed and sheets were clean but everything else looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. I found stuff left from the previous occupants under the furniture. After the first night I woke up with multiple bites. I thought these were mosquitos but upon checking out it has become clear I’m suffering from bed bug bites. I’ve messaged the property to inform them but I haven’t received anything back. I’m now having to either wash or throw away all my items. Not fun!! I’ve given two stars because the hotel has good entertainment and I was allowed to check in early.

Amazing stay in Airlie Beach

Very well located in the center of Airlie Beach. The hostel offers all you need : very well equipped kitchen, bbq, a lot of bathrooms. The environment in the middle of a rainforest is amazing!

Stopped in Airlie for two nights. It the hostel was clean and tidy we had a shared bathroom and it was very clean showers we’re powerful to have a good shower. The only fault with this place was the pillows on the bed were super thin I might as well have not had a pillow it was so thin also if your in a shared facility the walls are very thin so you can hear a lot ear plugs are a must if staying here! Perfect for what we needed. They allowed you to use the luggage store to put your bags in before check in and check out. Apart from the thing pillow and walls perfect place to stay

I absolutely love this property! This is the 2nd time I have stayed there now. It was like staying in a cabin in the rainforest, it was so lush and beautiful. Check in was easy, the lady at the front was very nice. Basic, but everything was clean. And the water pressure in the showers is outstanding! I definitely recommend Magnums.

Wow I was only there for one night and arrived around 7:30pm and left by 7am however I have to say the room was absolutely spotless. Like every square inch of the triple room and bathroom was immaculate and was the cleanest hotel room I’ve ever stayed at. Very impressed. Will stay again in future

The area surrounding the property is beautiful, full of lush walkways. However, there were multiple coach roaches (adults and babies) in our room. We notified staff and they will take measures to stop the infestation.

A lovely 2 night break after 2 nights on the Greyhound. It was definitely over my budget but needed my own room after my long journey. I was so grateful for the earlier check-in as I rocked up at 8am after getting off the bus. I nearly hugged the receptionist. My room was cute and compact. It had a fridge which was amazing and a kettle but a shared kitchen was also available. The shower had strong pressure which was great and clean. Yes the place is a little old and worn but it’s clean and safe. The jungle setting is pretty cool but very buggy especially mosquitoes. Tons of them....I was bitren each time I left my room. I'm one of those people that attract mosquitoes no matter what lotions and potions I use so maybe a jungle setting should have made me run away. I enjoy staying in quirky places especially when it's managed well and security is excellent. This place was, so mosquitoes boo!!! but Magnums and staff yea!!!!!

This hostel needs a lot of TLC. The room was very dark, dingy and smelt badly of damp, you could see the mould on the walls and the ceiling fan. It was clean except for the plates, cutlery and glasses which had not been washed. The shared bathrooms were clean, but very old and tattered. I'm not sure how anyone taller than 5 ft 5 would cope in the shower as they are so low down. Also wildlife (birds, lizards, insects) were frequently in the bathrooms as there was no main door to them. The resort itself could be great, the kitchens are large and there's a few places to sit and socialise. The location is perfect, in close walking distance to Woolies, maccas, shops, restaurants, beach and lagoon.
Overall, if you're looking for a budget base this place is fine. But don't expect a lot as it is in dire need of a renovation.
