"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

"My kids loved being around the animals at the property and waking up to the sounds of cows and horses. We would have loved a tour of the property on one of the tractor trailers included in the stay. The cows and horses were super friendly and calm. The shared kitchen wasn’t the cleanest as it’s shared with some of the station hands. The rooms are in a donga type building, with a cute courtyard and tables. Lots of bugs around so make sure you shut the doors or you’ll end up with 1000 bugs in the...

The tiny home was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and super comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bush walk was beautiful and the whole place was so peaceful and tranquil — the perfect spot to switch off, slow down and just enjoy being away from everything. We absolutely loved our stay and would happily come back. A gorgeous little hidden gem! 💚"

Magnums Airlie Beach

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent
"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."
