Spent one night prior to a whale watching trip. Like the reviewer below we got the end room on the second floor. There was a slight musty smell in the room, but it was barely noticable. The room was spotless and had a nice view over the marina. The only weird thing was the window between the room and the... more

We stopped at this hotel for 1 night which was more than enough. The room was on the second floor right at the end. As soon as we arrived the room had a vile musty smell and the settee smelt as if someone had had an accident on it. The bathroom also had a disgusting smell coming from the sink.... more

Fantastic hotel.. 1 bedroom apt with kitchen and ensuite. Fantastic views over the marina and across to Fraser Island. Spotlessly clean with generous number of coffee/tea sachets. Helpful staff and we took the upgrade. This is the off-season and so for $120 a room was a bargin. You need a car if you want to see the other Hervey Bay... more

We stayed In The Mantra Bay resort for one night before heading back down to Sydney. We had booked to go to Fraser Island but were unable to go as it was cancelled due to severe tropical storms. We had initally booked into the Kondari resort but we weren't happy with that hotel and managed to book into the Mantra... more

We went onto the internet and found this hotel which appeared to have quite a good deal. The deal was a room with... more

We chose the Mantra because we were going on a whale watching trip and the apartments are right by the marina. Make sure you ask for a marina view and the higher up you are the better the view. We were travelling with two friends. They had a one bedroomed apartment and we had an adjoining bedroom with a shared... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night before and one night after our trip to Fraser Island. The boat leaves from just outside the hotel, in the marina. The rooms were really nice and clean with a jacuzzi bath, with a great view across the marina. The pool looked nice, although we weren't there long enough to use it.... more

We had a one night stay at the Mantra prior to going to Kingfisher Bay resort on Fraser Island. The Mantra is perfectly located if you are catching the passenger boat across to Fraser Island. The rooms were very nice and comfortably and had great views over the marina. The pool looked lovely, however we didn't get time to use... more
