Magic Mountain - The name says it all...

Magic Mountain is a 4 bedroom home with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Situated up a 2 km private driveway you are still close to all the amenities you require but surrounded by kilometres of bush on all sides. Easy access to Smiths Lake and Wallis Lake, local beaches in the Pacific Palms area and a short drive to either Sea Rocks or Forster Tuncurry. Comfort, space, privacy and a huge heated outdoor spa - you will need nothing more during your stay.

Situated on the top of the mountain this 1970's iconic homestead is surrounded by 350 acres of lush rainforest, with breathtaking views from every room in the house over Wallis Lake to Forster. It is a feast for the eyes and the soul offering a complete disconnect from modern life in a natural worderland setting. The kitchen is fully appointed (with oven, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine), living and dining areas are large and open and heated by a combustion fire for those cozy winter nights. There is undercover parking for 4 cars. Two bedrooms have king beds, the 3rd bedroom has a queen bed and in the 4th bedroom there are 2 single beds. There are 2 ultra HD Sony Tvs, free wifi and that outdoor heated plunge pool! It is everything you love about a 1970's architectural gem with all the modern touches that life now affords in a completely private and unique location.

A wonderful girls weekend
A lovely location for a weekend escape. The only reason for a 4 star was an unfortunate issue with the spa which was no fault of the owner, Becky did everything possible to get it fixed. I would recommend this location and Becky is fabulous. Thanks for everything

That view!
Amazing place, seclusion, incredible views and the highlight had to be the fire pit! Perfectly placed to take in the view and nature. Wallis Lake on one side and the sea on the other, the best location to relax and recharge. Becky and Rob was great with communication and made the whole experience easy. Thank you we definitely recommend booking here! You won’t regret it!

Magic Mountain Lives Up To It's Name
An absolute hidden gem, plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the spectacular view. Soak in the outside spa beneath the stars, gather around a roaring fire in the fire pit, or simply relax in the huge sunbeds. The hosts are friendly and helpful, making the entire experience a pleasure. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Mice and mould :(
Before I start the location and view were perfect! Unfortunately our first and hopefully last bad experience/review. Check in was pushed back 2 hours due to a deep clean needed as people had checked out that day which was fine (covid times). When we got there the grass hadn't been mowed at all and was really long, upon opening the door your hit with that old house that hasn't been opened in a while smell (some scents stuff would fix this) again not an issue. We opened the kitchen cupboard and both had to stand back from the over powering smell, a smell of fish/rat urine smell. There was mice running along the lounge room fireplace wall and floor, even a mouse in the bathroom at one point. There is rat bait outside on the ground in a container which is not dog friendly at all. There were handprints on a window still and food had been left in the oven which made us wonder how well it had been cleaned? We were excited to use the spa though there was a lot of leaves at the bottom which isn't inviting at all. We were asked to get the pillow cases from the clothes dryer and put them on the bed which makes me wonder why only half the pillow cases were there, and had the quilt covers etc been washed but that's being sceptical no proof. An hour before we had to check out we were told we could check out 2 hours later to make up for the late check in but it was too late of notice nor did we want to stay longer. We removed the sheets and pillow cases to put in laundry for the cleaner and discovered a huge mould patch on one of the pillows which is really not healthy. The worst past of the stay was the bed, two single beds pushed together as one, worst sleep we have had, felt like a fence was down the middle of the bed. Definitely not a good honeymoon experience and the price does not deflect what it is unfortunately.
