Nice room, good balcony,
Everything you need except a good coffee shop. I did stay Sunday, and didn’t want to drive for coffee. Other than that, all good.

I was leased this property showing wrong photo and i was tricked that there was no lift access from the basement floor. I had to move kids, prams and suitcases from the basement parking to the property via a long set of stairs. Very inconvinient after paying a good fee for the property. This is cheating and I will never recommend anyone to stay at Mantra Observatory.

The property was great and the views spectacular, we did find the proximity to the beach amazing, but we struggled with the distance from anywhere to eat.
