all things were provided. service desk could have advised me about location of pool towels in the apartment which i discovered after asking other guests. I assumed they forgot to provide mine.

Only one small issue with ground staff (orange jackets), No visitor awareness and was talking loudly on mobile with what appears to be family members about issues in own language. It would be fine if they kept that excited discussion as that, outside the pool grounds. So, it did not give a good impression about their duty's commitments and focus. And importantly, show respect for patrons seeking to respite from the busy world and respecting the noise level around poolside.

Location is good, close to both beach and high street. Close to ferry wharf. Town is still recovering from Covid19. Staff were world class. Room had been recently renovated, so we had new paint, carpet, and rebuilt robes. TVs vary from room to room and there may not be more than one. Balcony was good. Soundproofing was good. Although fully booked, guest traffic was minimal. No, it is not 5 star, and not new, but clean sheets and boxes ticked.

It would be nice to know kitchenette has hotplates, review responses confirm but could be specified.

Stay was amazing. Majority of the staff were amazing, however, had a very rude cleaner that was discriminating and was being extremely rude

Spotlessly clean. Lovely view. Very good quality, sturdy furniture. Modern and welcoming decor. Good shower pressure and water temperature.

1. I expected a smart TV so was a little disappointed that I couldn’t access my Netflix or Stan account and was u stead stuck with free to air TV since I didn’t bring an HDMI cable nor my Chromecast device. 2. A small detail but the walls in public areas on Level 2 could do with some pictures. The vibe of the lobby was completely lost once we got to Level 2 and that hallway is too clinical.

My favourite place I’ve booked so far! The beach is right across the road. Parks, cafes and restaurants are super close. Service was lovely, had a cot made up with zero hassle. Loved our room, felt clean and modern. Has everything you need in the kitchen. Smart Tv with working channels. I loved that it had a washer and dryer so I was able to stay on top of washing and not take home a bag of dirty clothes. Even got to enjoy a nice hot bubble bath with the jets on. Definitely coming back again.

Pool was nice and big but not heated.

Ettalong is a perfectly placed to explore the central coast. A lovely village and waters to swim. We enjoyed Mantra swimming pool and going across the road to walk and swim. The diggers is in the same building very convenient to eat. The room was very comfortable clean. A larger TV would be nice otherwise well equipped kitchen. Nice balcony looking out to the town and hills with a good glimpse of the water. We had a great stay.

Nothing we didn't like

The staff were so lovely, the place was beautiful and we just had an amazing time already trying to work out when we could come back

Some one had placed a piece of the black bit on the end of a banana skin in the jets of the spa. when we were having a spa we felt like it smelt like banana and when we eventually pulled the plug we found jt. This is fault of the mantra staff or cleaners and purely the disgusting behavior of previous guests so as much as it disgusted we didn't think anything less of the mantra

Our balcony at our 2 bedroom apartment was probably bigger than our room! Both bedrooms were on the small size but well furnished, nice linens, wall mounted TV in one of the rooms. Round dining table with 4 chairs but the sofa would maybe seat 3 people and there was one single arm chair, so just enough if 4 people were staying together. Bedroom with the TV had a good sized ensuite, 2nd bedroom had the 2nd bathroom right outside their bedroom door. We stayed in room #421

Lounge room could have been a little bit bigger but it was still serviceable and I would stay there again. Outside balcony has fantastic view, lots of seating - 2 or 4 sunlounges would be fanatstic!

Beautiful Place, beautiful big pool

We had a two bedroom apartment, the smaller room I stayed in, the side drawers were too shallow to even fit my bras. No shelving or cupboard or bench top in the bathroom to put anything. I had to apply my make up sitting on the bed. Next to the dining table, there was a grape on the floor and some pieces of food on one of the chairs . Also the lounge throw cushions had some food remnants on them. The bigger bathroom had no liquid soap in the dispenser. The fan and light above the stove which was supposed to use wasn’t working.

Location is great. Staff friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool

there is no shade or shelter on the terrace and makes it hard to enjoy that space The bathroom (not ensuite) is very tiny and hard to navigate space wise, getting into the room. The sink is extremely small and just brushing your teeth can be a challenge to not get water everywhere, but this is probably not something that can be rectified
