We had a one night stay at Magnums in one of the cabins, surrounded by tropical rainforest. very little noise filtered through from the restaurant/bar/nightclub complex at the front. The room was clean and quite spacious. Excellent value.

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

The accomodation was basic but good and clean and value for money. Location was excellent; in the middle of the town, near all amenities. WiFi in room was good plus smart TV. Could have had more toiletries!

What a great place to stay if you’re travelling and on a budget young and old . I booked last minute 2 weeks ago I’ve never stayed in a place like this before but because of my diet I need a kitchen and my own bathroom. Plus a comfortable bed . Travelling solo after 40 years I was a little nervous but after reading other reviews on trip advisor I felt comfortable.
