I agree with other reviewers that the environment and facilities are very good. However, the decor is quite tired. The reception areas are painted a garish red and yellow and have paintings on the walls guaranteed to scare young children (? extra terrestrials?). The decor in the accommodation blocks with pale tiles made it look like a toilet block. Our... More

We stayed at the Mantra Erskine for 1 night. Initial impressions were positive, a number of facilities such as a spa, pool, gym etc and a nice reception area. It is a fairly large complex so quite busy, so busy that someone had parked in our allocated car space so we were forced to find another car park elsewhere. This... More

A good 4 star resort for families. What makes it a good place is the open space, grass area including tennis courts, croquet, mini golf. Fantastic in summer but i can't imagine it would be as inviting in winter. We went on the long weekend and paid top dollar for a one bedroom apartment $379 which is very expensive for... More

Initial impression on entering this property looks very nice & the reception area & lounge is very well furnished and of 4.5* quality BUT ... very disappointed with the accommodation and standard for the price and rating. We stayed on 30th January in a one bedroom apartment in Thomas building overlooking the bowling green which had a nice view. The... More

With a 4.5 star rating on the discount booking site we used, my expectations were for something less tired and grubby looking. I really think stained couches, doors that won't stay on their tracks and grimey, un mopped floors (particularly in the public areas) should count against this property. Can't beat the location but the high pricing implied better. Even... More

I was extremely worried about spending a lot of money on two 2 bedroom apartments for my (rather large) family after reading some appalling reviews on this site. Having just spent a week at Mantra, Lorne, I thought I must write my own review because we all found it to be an excellent place to stay. The apartments were clean,... More

The Mantra has many great attributes........ideal location (you can even hear the waves at night from your room), nice grounds and a good indoor pool. The rooms are ok overall. On the good, the beds are excellent, spa bath is great and pay tv a blessing on wet days. Room for improvement with kitchen facilities (like a sharp knife) and... More

I was travelling with daughter & husband & their 2 young children, 5 & 2. Two room apartment very spacious (after Europe) and bathrooms excellent. Cooking facilities appreciated & used. Rooms not serviced during 4 day stay but clean towels etc. supplied on request. Facilities at the resort very child friendly & shops, restaurants etc. across the road from main... More

We've stayed here several times now, early January when we go down for the annual Pier to Pub Swim. The P2P weekend is Lorne's busiest of the whole year, so crowds, limited parking options, harrassed staff are unfortunately to be expected right throughout Lorne. We stay here because we can lock up the car and walk where-ever we need to... More
