GGuest UserMagnums has been the backpacker hangout in Airlie Beach for thirty years. A great open pub (Beer Garden) facing the street, live music every day, a wide, typically Australian range of drinks at the bar. Airlie Beach has long since ceased to be a pure backpacker destination. Hotels, shopping streets and arcades, many new restaurants, bars and pubs have turned Airlie Beach into a small ”city”. The Magnums is really right in the middle, from here everything is easily accessible on foot. Thanks to the Magnums, the backpacker groove hasn't completely disappeared. Magnums offers accommodation in many varieties! In addition to double rooms with shared bathrooms, I would particularly like to mention the cabin we booked with a ensuite bathroom, toilet. AC and a fridge. The cabins are spacious, almost 30 square meters, have a small terrace and are distributed in the small ”palm jungle” in which all accommodations of the Magnum are hidden. A large kitchen complex is available for the residents of the Magnum (adults only!), which is equipped with everything (cooking stoves, toaster, refrigerators, dining areas, etc.). Dining tables are in front of the kitchen complex and others are scattered throughout the complex. Barbecue areas with dining tables are also distributed throughout the complex. It is charming that there is always a bench or a hammock hidden under the palm trees, where the guests can retreat with a book or the cellphone (the whole complex is very well connected with WiFi). Anyone who can do without the luxury of a five-star facility will be very happy at Magnums. The extremely friendly staff at reception, at the bar and in room service (every 4 days for longer stays) cannot be praised enough. We were looked after excellently and comfortably at reception by Maria. She answered all of our questions, made the bookings for our excursions, ordered the shuttle bus to the airport when we left and fulfilled our every wish during our 14-day stay. A big compliment to her in particular! Rundum alles Super! Magnums war schon vor dreissig Jahren der Treffpunkt der Backpacker in Airlie Beach. Ein tolles offenes Pub (Beer Garden) zur Strasse hin, täglich Livemusik, eine breite, typisch australische Getränkepalette an der Bar. Airlie Beach ist schon längst keine reine Backpacker Destination mehr. Hotels, Ladenstrassen und Passagen, viele neue Restaurants, Bars und Pubs haben Airlie Beach zu einer kleinen „Stadt“ werden lassen. Das Magnums liegt wirklich mitten drin, von hier ist alles fussläufig leicht erreichbar. Dank dem Magnums ist der Backpacker-Groove noch nicht ganz verschwunden. Magnums bietet Unterkünfte in vielen Varianten an! Neben Doppelzimmern mit geteilten Badezimmern erwähne ich speziell die von uns gebuchte Cabin mit eigenem Bad, AC und WC soiwe einem Kühlschrank. Die Cabins sind grosszügig, fast 30 Quadratmeter gross, haben eine kleine Terrasse und sind im kleinen „Palmen-Urwald“ in dem alle Unterkünfte des Magnums versteckt sind, verteilt.
