We recently returned from a three-night stay at Mantra Sand Dunes Marcoola and I'm impressed! Marcoola is a quiet beach just five minutes from the Sunshine Coast airport and the Mantra is located on the corner of the Esplanade and David Low Way, less than a five-minute stroll to the beach and a five-minute drive to the local supermarket. The... more

This place was awesome. I stayed in a 3 bed villa. The apartment had ducted aircon, which was fantastic, as it was really hot. The bedrooms are lovely, the bathrooms are well layed-out. The loungeroom was a tad too small, but we spent most of our time outside on the patio/deck which had it's own private direct access to the... more

The majority of the units face the HUGE pool. There is a smaller heated pool at one end and a large hot spa between the 2 pools. Total length of the pools is about 75 metres I believe. The 2 bed units are in 3 story buildings. There are some 2 story 3 bed units as well. Last time we... more

We have just returned to Wellington after 11 days in Australia. We stayed in Marcoola for 8 nights then the Gold Coast for 3. We decided on the Mantra Sand Dunes after looking on the internet at different properties in the area, mainly because of the fabulous looking pool. We have 3 children aged 8, 6 and 4. We arrived... more

We visited Mantra Sand Dunes for a short 2 night stay at short notice (we were refugees from another bad hotel experience). I was pleased at the phone call I made to check that the pool, which we had heard about as "award winning" was fully useable. I was informed that the "heated" section of the pool (which normally is... more

The setting for the property was very nice - near the beach and secluded, quiet. The beach house layout was very good with two teenagers [17 and 14] and the appointment and fittings were above average. The property offers a variety of different accommodation styles, not just a beach house. We were disappointed having stayed at other mantra properties which... more

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment for 4 nights. It was very enjoyable. The aprtment was very clean and fittings were of a high standard. Close to airport but never noticed any noise. Pool is fantastic, it is huge compared to many others. Only criticism, the rubbish had to be taken to an area at the front, which was... more

Our stay at Mantra Sand Dunes was fantastic. The unit we had was extremely fresh and clean. We couldn't fault it at all. Anything we could possibly need was available, including some DVD's, CD's and books for our use while visiting. We had a top floor unit, so we didn't have the pools at our doorstep, but they were very... more

This was a nice complex to stay in. There were a few things that annoyed us but overall it was good. The pools were great. We had a 2brm apartment and the couches were really comfy. There was a 2nd telly in the main bedroom, which was great and saved a few fights with the kids. The parking was only... more
