Reviewer Comments:
Holiday Hosting claimed it to be a 5 star experience and indeed it was. Everything from start to finish was excellent. Receiving detailed location instructions along with entry instructions was great. The unit was everything it claimed to be from amenities, appliances and supplies. Little things like washing machine detergent and dish washer tablets was awesome.The photos weren't misleading, and it was very spacious clean and tidy. Customer service was excellent. I would certainly recommend to others. I will be staying here again next time in Townsville

We had a wonderful and comfortable stay. We’ve got two young sons and was great finding such an amazing apartment that comfortably fit us all with a full equip kitchen and laundry. There is a pool onsite and secure parking for two vehicles. You’re minutes from the strand. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

We spent 7 nights at Magic on Melton. Two families were easily accommodated for with large rooms and fully equiped kitchen. Everyone loved the ice dispenser. When my grandchildren neede to spend some energy the on-site pool was a treat. Also, The Strand is only a short walk away. Our Holiday hosts were always available if we had any questions and were ver helpful. We look forward to staying ther again.

About the host
Hosted by Brandi Murphy
I am a North Queensland resident, and I adore our amazing outdoor lifestyle: long- distance running, yoga, obstacle training, travelling and competing in events overseas and busy personal life. Naturally passionate about finance and wealth creation. I am also a keen property investor myself. I’ve been a passionate host and Super Host for over seven years. I was fortunate to attend the hosting conference in L.A. In November 2016 and I gained many valuable insights from it. I own one of my own properties and host on behalf of other lovely property owners, and I enjoy helping them achieve their financial goals and ensuring all guests delight in their holiday experience. I operate my established short-term holiday letting business, “Holiday Hosting”, to provide premier accommodation to those visiting Queensland. I have obtained my full real estate license (Certificate IV in Property Services-Real Estate). I look forward to providing guests with a home away from home.
All the best, Brandi
