This is a great home for a large group! The floor plans allows everyone to spread out.
The communal spaces are great and were perfect for our big family gathering. We used the BBQ every night and the big dinning table was perfect for family meals all together. We have a few issues with refrigeration but the staff dealt with things quickly. The few other problems were again attended to by friendly attentive staff.
The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor lounging area around the pool was so relaxing.

Couldn't have been happier!
Couldn't believe the size of the place! We had 10 people in total but felt like we could have had 10 more. Great location a short taxi ride away from Surfers, water pressure very good (nothing ruins a holiday like a crud shower), overall very impressed and dare say we will be back!

Excellent House
We could not be happier with our stay, the house was presented to us perfectly and the location was better than we thought. to be sitting on the balcony watching the sun set over the river was amazing. Five Stars

Beautiful home, views and great location
We loved River Magic. The house accommodated 14 of us well and in comfort. The views are magical indeed and the location very handy.
The greatest disappointment was the pool. First it was not clean from the day we received the house but more than that, our six kids love the pool and were looking forward to it but unfortunately we found it absolutely freezing - and the kids are used to cold water. This did put damper on the holiday and we would suggest that due to the position of the pool (shaded by the upper deck) solar heating is a must, otherwise, if you come with kids who love the pool, well this may not be your house, however beautiful the house is...
Also it would have been good to have instruction for the digital oven, it took us some time to work it out as to work out how the light system works.
But overall we loved the villa and our stay was pleasant.

Fantastic experience!
We stayed there for 5 nights but we wish we can stay for another 5 nights or more! We love the house design, it gives us home like feeling. The movie room, swimming pool and pool table are especially welcomed by children. We all enjoy so much preparing the meals in the modern kitchen. You can't forget the gorgeous view of the main river, no matter from sunrise to sunset, it is absolutely stunning. This house is also suitable for elderly, even it has more stairs but they can choose the room which is more closer to the kitchen/ sitting, dining area. The location is excellent too. It takes few minutes drive to supermarket, restaurants and even the beach. We have no doubt to visit this house again next year with my family and friends. We also hired the chef service on the first day of our arrival, you don't need to worry even after a long flight. Ms Kristie Seeger, the chef, she is very caring and patience to tailor made the best menu for the kids and the elderly. We appreciate so much!

Amazing Weekend!
This is really the ideal property! The house is amazing, the views are amazing and it is a short walk to everything. Though the house is huge and everyone gets their own space, the living design keeps everyone connected. The stay was that good, that we have decided to (try) make the trip up each year. Highly recommend. Thank you for the enjoyable stay, we all loved it!

Fantastic stay
We enjoyed the stay in the property. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms for 8 adults and 6 children. View is breath- taking. We also enjoyed the swimming pool, pool table and theatre. There is also enough privacy for everyone!

This house and location is amazing. Room to get together and room to be alone. We had a great time. I would also like to note that one of our guests left behind credit cards and cash. However the staff found it and secure posted it back to us. Just awesome.

Better than expected
We booked Main River Magic for our team to stay in for 8 nights
The floor plan preview on the booking site does not do it justice. It is more than spacious and was big enough to still get away fro it all and find time for yourself

We absolutely loved the house, we had 15 family members and there was plenty of room for everyone, the weather was fantastic to utilize the pool. The jetty was great for the kids to do a little fishing. All the rooms were a great size with plenty of storage. Just couldn't fault it... We can highly recommend this house...

This home is a must stay!
We had an absolute ball! The house catered for all of us, giving us space but also allowing us to come together & spend special time. The view was second to none & even though the weather was some what stormy over a few of our days we were in the best property to enjoy ourselves. This is a great option for the extend family who want space but love entertaining together.

Beyond Magical
We have just returned from a fantastic family holiday at Main River Magic. We were a group of 8 adults and 7 children and this property was set out ideally for all of us to be together but have time alone when we wanted it. We never felt like we were in each other's pockets.
The property is immaculate and the service from Elite Holiday Homes was faultless.
The media room, pool and grassed area meant that the kids were never bored. Our own private pontoon enabled us to catch our own fish dinner. Santa even popped by on a river cruise!! With the foxtel, pool table and free internet, everyone was happy.
We will definitely return to an Elite Holiday Homes property. We're so glad we found you!

Fabulous family adventure
We rented this house for our family to celebrate an important birthday. We had 3 families along with grandchildren, so the set out of the house with separate bedrooms and bathrooms made this the ideal home for 11 people to spend 7 nights in. Everyone was extremely happy with their bedroom wings and the facilities provided. As the organisers and grandparents, we felt like "King of the Castle" in our top floor bedroom.
