The website looks great with a prime location, near the beach, gym, clean and generally modern. Except for the location, the rest of the visuals should be taken with a grain of salt... But then you get what you pay for and our weekend deal was pretty cheap. The carpet had stains... But fortunately (???) they were still red so... More

I booked through a discount site with a company called Bohdi Tree. although it was not a scam and I did get my room, it was filthy and there were no towels or bed linen and the hotel wanted nothing to do with it. so we went to target and bought linen for the queen bed and sofa, "borrowed" some...

We were kept awake until 2am by the nightclub beneath our room. My expectations are a little high, it seems. Apparently it was my fault for not telling them that I needed a quiet room! What is customer service? Don't look for it here.

Ettalong is an interesting destination in its own right, however, for us, Ettalong is where to stay if you are visiting the Central Coast. It is a short drive to everywhere from Ettalong. We usually take a suite which includes a kitchenette, lounge room, double entry bathroom, bedroom with ample storage and a balcony. Whichever way the view is: hinterland... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, just needed a quiet getaway before school went back. We had a two bedroom hinterland view apartment. It was clean & comfortable, the kitchenette/lounge/dining area is a strange shape & not very spacious. The hotel is in a great, super quiet location which is exactly what we wanted. The only negative was that as... More

We recently stayed here for 3 nights, 2 adults and 3 kids and overall were happy with our experience. Our room on the 5th floor had views over the pool to the river and was modern and well equipped, although the floorplan was a little unusual and not overly spacious. The property is ideally situated within walking distance of restaurants... More

Cheerful service but average hospitality otherwise. Garbage shute smells and needs to be fixed. Quite a way from main parts of Central Coast. You will need a car to get around. The club downstairs is ok but not really integrated with Mantra.

It is exactly spot on about what i have been reading on here with other reviews ... with the rudeness of the front desk, lack of services like the cleaning of rooms and providing clean towels each day, poor views considering the view is the main reason people choose to stay here. I stayed here, it was a shocker. I... More

Stayed here with my partner for a relaxing weekend away in March. The room we received had a great view of the pool, ocean and hinterlands. The room had really outdated furniture and the tv was horrible. We ventured out for dinner at about 7.30 and there wasn't very much open in the area, except for the club downstairs. We... More
