"Great property, location and amenities. Beautiful water views from apartment bedrooms and balcony. There were a few members of the public congregating outside the property after hours talking into the early hours so there was a bit of noise but that’s outside Mantra’s control. Everything else was perfect for a comfortable and value for money stay. Undercover parking a bonus to keep cars secure from theft and in case of storms. Highly recommended and happy to stay again - thank you!"
