Beautiful stay at The Mantra Observatory ”

More than impressed with our stay, especially during winter and NSW suffering a Covid outbreak once again. The staff are very professional and generally welcoming, the room everything we could want and more. Beautiful ocean view in an especially clean and welcoming hotel room, the sound of the waves hitting the shore to wake up to in the morning. Free car parking in secure gated parking also an added bonus. Highly recommended in every way.

Centrally located hotel with ocean views”

A very secure building (room key needed to get up and down to access room). Bowling club across the road, for which vouchers are issued. Underground carpark was a bonus. Staff super friendly and helpful. Our hotel room was spacious and clean, and had an ocean view - seating on our balcony would have made it perfect.

The room was larger than expected, and really well set up. We did struggle with keeping our toddler out of the kitchen since there is no door and it is in the main living space. Great value for money and in a good location. This is the third time we've stayed here and we'll stay here again if we're visiting the area.

Great accommodation ”

The Observatory is opposite Town Beach and close to Port City Bowling Club. We had a mountain view one bedroom apartment during our week stay (crane view at the moment with a construction site a block away.) It was a clean - spacious apartment. The king size bed very comfortable and a good kitchen area, lounge, dining room and balcony. The staff were helpful and friendly - house maids excellent going the extra to ensure you are comfortable and had toiletry supplies and change of bedding during the week. We would highly recommend this resort.

Stayed for a night and our room was very nice, large, and most importantly, impeccably clean. My only complaint is that the aircon was only in the living room, and because of the long corridor between the bedroom and the living room, the aircon didn't cool the bedroom at all. However, the fan meant it wasn't much of an issue. Staff were very helpful, and welcoming. Free secure parking was nice too!

Pt Mac for the 1st time”

The Observatory in Port was wonderfully located, straight accross the road from the beach, perfect for an early surf, great coffee and breakfast in the cafe below hotel. Hotel room had everything we needed and offered a range of room sizes including 3 bedroom apartments which our friends had. Rooms were clean and well equipped, comfy bed. IF you want a beer in the arvo the closest place is the bowlo, no bars within close walking distance, but I'd certainly stay again.
