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.

We had a fantastic stay at this property with our family during our holidays. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, which made our days filled with sun and sand so convenient. The property itself was outstanding, with excellent utilities that made us feel right at home. Every amenity we needed was provided, making our stay comfortable and stress-free.
