Simple and clean, Mantra’s rooms have a firm focus on facilities, not fashion. Case in point: for studio apartment guests, there’s a sturdy work desk, Foxtel access, kitchenette, internal laundry and breezy balcony. Water-view rooms are available on request.
Restaurants and bars
Table Forty Three, the building’s on-site eatery, pulls long hours, serving from 6.30am for breakfast until 9pm (and overnight with a supper menu of pizzas, toasties and pies). Expect everything from pastas to curries and even a sly inclusion of takoyaki octopus balls.
Travel for work
There are two conference rooms on-site, with interconnecting capability to fit up to 299.
Gym and pool
Families will appreciate the shallow lip of the sprawling lagoon-style pool, perfect for wading with young members of the clan. There’s plenty of space to spread out for adults, with a jacuzzi-style spa at one end of the terrace area. There’s also a gym and hairdressers on-site.
Accessibility
Guests with disabilities will find an accessible room on each floor of the property.
