To say my husband and I had a wonderful stay at this property is an understatement. The property was clean and the location was unbeatable. Jacinta was a breeze to deal with and accomodated our every need. The photos do not do this place justice. We will definitely be back.

The property lived up to the description and photos on the Stayz website. My wife and loved the location and property amenities. Views from the deck quite stunning. Jacinta was always helpful and efficient. It helped make our two weeks memorable.

I can't say enough good things about this property! It was beautifully maintained, well-stocked, very comfortable. As one can tell from the photos, it is in a beautiful and peaceful location. Jacinta was a wonderful resource for things to do and see. She was easy to work with, as an owner, and very organized, making it so much easier to plan other details. Thanks, Jacinta, we would love to return in the future!

We had a wonderful experience. The view / location is magnificent, we spend a lot of time looking out over the passage. Well worth selecting this property.

We are a family of four, first time visiting Australia from the US. Our stay at Malekula Beach House was magical! The view from the back deck is stunning - and we enjoyed frequent visits from Kookaburras and Cockatoos. At night the stars fill the sky. The house is well appointed and comfortable. We appreciated the peaceful, quiet solitude of what we called "the Tree House". When we wanted more excitement, Airlie Beach was just a quick drive away. The house was exactly what we were looking for!

Just as promised - picture perfect!
I think it's fair to say we'll struggle to ever find a holiday rental with a view as amazing as this, postcard views all day!
My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and loved every minute of it. About 15 mins outside of Airlie Beach, it was the perfect property to just relax and unwind.
We spent most of our time in the pool doing absolutely nothing and watching a movie at night. Wifi was excellent and the smart TV gave us plenty of viewing options when we just wanted to enjoy some entertainment.
I'd encourage visitors to hire a car to help them get around as there isn't much available shops or restaurant wise around the house.
Thanks Jacinta for being an amazing host - great communication all the time. Your property is beautiful and a real find.

Magnificent Views
This was an amazing place to stay. The view from the balcony was amazing. Very clean and tidy. Our Host Jacinta was friendly and a wealth of information. The pool was amazing to beat the summer heat in North Qld. Did I mention The View ;)

Very tranquil & such Beautiful views
We had such a lovely holiday at Maleuka. The property is Perfect for a family. Plenty of room to spread out. The view from the the front deck is so beautiful and even more so with the morning sunrise over the mountains & water. Highly recommended. Jacinta was very easy to communicate with. The boys also caught fish with a local fishing carter, and also managed to catch fish each time they took the dingy out. The bush walks to the beach are also very accessible and not far from the house. Thanks again Jacinta. We will definately be back. 😁

Perfect family vacation home
Our family loved our stay at this property! It is perfect for families. It’s open and spacious and architecturally beautiful. But it’s not fussy so you won’t be worried about kids being kids. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare family meals and then enjoy them on the back deck. Oh that view! Stunning! The pool is really lovely too. Unfortunately we had cool weather so didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we would have hoped. Maybe next time, as we would definitely return to this property. Thank you to Jacinta, who was so thoughtful sending us recommendations for things to do when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Highly recommend!

Stunning location
A beautiful property with Plenty of character Overlooking Whitsundays. Closest to Coral Beach , Conway National Park walking trails. House has everything you need away from the hustle and bustle but less than 10 mins drive . Didn’t want to leave .

Great House, Beautiful View
Jacinta, the property owner was amazing. She was very nice, always responsive very quickly, and genuinely wanted to make our stay as good as possible. The house is beautiful. Spacious, well laid out, and comes with linens, towels, washing machine, and all the kitchen amenities you need. The pool was perfect for our two kids (10 & 12). The view from the large balcony was perfect, and great for an outdoor hangout or meal. Jacinta also knows the area and was knowledgeable about the local tours. We would stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone. It’s about 10 minutes from Airlie Beach, has walking paths very close, and an IGA less than 10 minutes away.

Great view, perfect for a group
House was large and spacious although we only had a smaller group It would suit a large family or group of friends well. Communication and checkin/out process with Jacinta was very easy and efficient. Jacinta is prompt in responding to email/text and made the whole process very easy. Only small critique would be that the pool wasn’t very clean on arrival however all the recent rain may have impacted the chemical balances. Otherwise very lovely house to stay would recommend to other travellers.

Frog alarm
Apart from enormous frog noise at night and far too many notices put up all over the house which did not give you a welcoming feeling the place was nice, had a bit of character to it and was nicely located! We enjoyed our stay nevertheless!

magnificent view, next to national park
very quiet, great view towards Hamilton Island at a distance, 10 min drive to Town center, 2 min drive to Shute Harbour, ideal spot if you don't want to be right where the crowds are. House is very big, everything works well, beds are comfortable. The host is very helpful and interested. We had a great stay.

Views
The views from the deck were stunning - rainforest on one side and islands on the other. The lap pool on the deck was still warm enough to use in July. Sailing the Whitsundays was a highlight - don't miss the opportunity to snorkel and to swim at Whitehaven beach.

A retreat without staying at a resort
This home is like being at a retreat it is so relaxing and was just what we were looking for in our holiday. The view from the moment we arrived was just stunning and were quite happy to spend lots of time at the house each day enjoying the balcony, whilst taking in the view over the bay. With our Border Collie in tow, we were grateful for being able to bring him away on holiday with us with the home having everything you need, from bedding to kitchen utensils. The location is quiet and serene and very relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again.

Magical
We loved our stay at Malekula. It simply is a magical place. Even though it stormed and rained throughout our stay, it was wonderful to feel all cosy inside and to be able to witness the storms roll in from our bedroom and the vast balcony. We really felt re-grounded and a part of nature in Malekula. We even saw two tawny frogmouth owls who were perched in a tree near the house for a whole day, a lace monitor climb another tree and enjoyed the chirping geckos and an array of birds. The house was tidy, clean and very comfy. The pool was refreshing and a treat to have all to ourselves. The views all around were exceptional. Airlie was only a short drive down the road. We also ventured to Cedar Creek Falls and day tripped to Bowen. We loved the walk to Coral Beach and its lookout, which was a stones throw from Malekula. We would highly recommend this magical retreat and hope to return in the future. Thank you Jacinta for being a most accommodating and gracious host and for letting us stay in your wonderful place.

Vistas de millones de dólares
Malekula in Shute Harbour is one of those places you just don't want to leave. The living area opens on to the balcony and quite literally brings the outdoors indoors. Even on the hottest days, cool breezes flow through the open plan house. The pool area shares the same amazing views over the Whitsunday islands and is a great haven after a day of fishing, snorkeling, diving or a quick day trip and lunch at Hamilton island. I spent 16 nights in paradise and I hope to return soon and again enjoy the best of the Whitsundays. I also look forward to dealing with Jacinta again, as she continues to maintain and improve this spectacular property.

We had the best time!
Hi Jacinta
We, as a family of 7 (Myself, eldest pregnant daughter 26 & her partner, my two sons 23 & 21 and their partners), arrived at Malekula in the dark after a flight from Melbourne and a three and a half hour drive from Townsville to wake up in absolute Heaven.
Malekula was everything we could have possibly wished for. It was spacious with a warm and friendly vibe, well equipped and well furnished. The wooden floor and exposed beams with sea grass ceiling certainly gives it that relaxed mood and makes it feel like a special place.
The view first thing in the morning is 'died and gone to heaven' stuff. Whales breaching in the distance as the sun rises directly in front of you with islands in the distance. Does it really get any better?
We had the best time as a family over the 7 days that you could possibly imagine.
Thankyou Jacinta for all your support and letting us share this amazing place.
Everyone, bar none, wants to do it all again the same time next year so I'll be in touch soon.
Thanks heaps
Rory

5 STAR HOLIDAY!
My partner, myself and both our parents. We arrived at night after driving 10 hours from the daintree. Woke to watch the sun rise over what can only be described as the BEST views you can get looking over reef and islands! Welcomed every morning by whales and the beautiful laughing kookaburras. Nature was abundant and the comfort of the house was absolutely excellent with everything you need. The location could not be better with national park on one side and very quiet, respectful, friendly neighbours on the other. We all know it can be worrying spending money and never really knowing if it will pay off. Well 6 of us stayed at this house for 7 nights and could not be happier. Jacinta made the process so easy and even shared some local secrets! Whilst always being available (Which is rare!) There are so many bonuses about this house, location and host not mentioned on the website. What an absolutely fantastic holiday and I will definitely be back again and again and again! Thanks so much Jacinta for sharing a part of your paradise with my family, a truly special holiday filled with unforgettable memories!

Family get-together
This house has many good features. We visited our family who are travelling around Australia and loved the view and the pool. We have travelled widely and found the 5 star rating very confusing as there are many things about the house that makes it more like a 2 1/2 star rating. There is a big need to spruce the house up and the pictures on the web made it look better than it actually was.

We did not want to leave this peace of paradise, the view is to die for, so peaceful and calming, felt like a different country sipping our moscow mules on the balcony with our feet up. The house has a real beachouse feel about it, spacious and clean the lap pool was a real bonus.National park next door to go on our daily bush walk. Our seven nights there was just glorious. Will be back.
