We booked and it wasn’t ready at 2pm and then we got (they said) upgraded but our room was musty and right near the pub and parking was miles away and it was pouring. We went to the Lorne hotel for dinner which was amazing and came back and we were locked out of our room (almost midnight) and it took reception over 20+ minutes to arrive. We had a buffet. Breakfast included also and it was awful. There was a group of 15 of us so thank goodness we had company as the accomodation was a 2/10

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was incredibly smooth, and the welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The hotel itself is quite large and can feel a bit like a maze, but thankfully, the rooms and hallways are very well signposted, so finding our way around was never an issue.

Our room was incredibly spacious, featuring a very comfortable bed that guaranteed a great night's sleep. The bathroom had a generous, good-sized bath with a shower over it—perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.

One of the unexpected highlights of our stay was the hotel bar's happy hour. We enjoyed a fantastic 2-for-1 deal on cocktails, which made for a fun and affordable start to the evening!

The next morning, we were treated to a buffet-style breakfast with an impressive variety of choices, ensuring there was something for everyone. To top it all off, the hotel's location is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of town, making it incredibly easy to walk to nearby shops and attractions.

We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The Mantra is made up of a number of buildings, the largest with reception, restaurant, pool and other amenities then appartments doted around the property. I found the grounds to be well maintained. The room was clean but thought the common areas to look a bit tired.
The spa which heats the remaining pool with its lava hot water.
Breakfast was good with plenty of options.

Breakfast was really good with lots of different food to chose from.

Only thing I'd like to see change is that they should add some sand to the tennis courts, as it's often raining, can be tricky and dangerous to play a proper match

Anyway, really good stay overall

We loved our stay at Mantra Lorne, the location was fabulous and the apartment style room was great when travelling with a baby. The room however was a little tired, and had mould. The pool area was also dirty and disappointingly the steam room facilities were out of order.

We’ve been coming to Mantra Lorne almost every year for at least a decade now. A few times there was a little something not quite right but okay, like the counters feeling tacky. But this year was bad, the headboard of the bed was visibly dirty (some sort of snot on it), the mirrors had children hands and fingerprints on them, the blind shutters were difficult to close/open. The water in the pool spa area, which we used to like, was cold like the rest of the pool (the spa section used to be warm) and once the water bubbles were gone we saw dirt piles at the bottom of it. Also my husband pulled out two clumps of hair out of the pool…

I requested an ocean view, twin room, instead we got a king size bed with partial view of the sea.
The shower was terrible, we had to turn on basin tap for the hot water to work properly, and the shower pressure was not very good at all.
The heat pump settings didn't work very well.
The rooms are not serviced daily.
Parking was convenient

Room clean and fairly comfortable, but dated and showing wear & tear, especially the bath. Bring a sleep mask if you’re a light sleeper - the wooden louvre shutters let in a LOT of light from the grounds and the main street, so it’s hard to sleep. Staff were great, and looked after us well when the Chromecast system failed (gave us a much appreciated complementary breakfast voucher). Good location, and we really appreciated having a lift to the room and no stairs.

The buffet breakfast was very good with a larger variety than others we had experienced. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was tight and we were wondering why some got rooms with assigned parking and others had to compete for the limited spaces. I had no idea this would be the situation or I might have been willing to pay for not having to worry about parking. Once parked, we were afraid to go anywhere with the car for fear that we wouldn’t be able to park on return. There was also a convention going on at the hotel, which made the entry and exit tricky as the hotel had set up a large tent near the lobby doors. We had to drive in to the lobby area for check-in / checkout and then back out the same way we came in. The lobby was noisy and crowded, but the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and the proximity to a beautiful beach was a plus.

The apartment is in need of some paint and some TLC but it was fit for purpose.

I thought it was a bit weird when I went down to reception and asked if I could get the room vacuumed because of biscuit crumbs and the vacuum was dropped off for me to do myself. I mean I'm not adverse to doing vacuuming on holidays but is this your policy, do it yourself? Apart from that, the buffet breakfast was average, there was only one type of cheese and the menu did not cater for international guests. And maybe just have a Bain Marie with poached eggs ready for people to take as the ordering system seems a bit superfluous. The frittatas are in little patty pans and most of it sticks to the patty pan as they don't use oil. I've been to buffet breakfasts around the world and it just seemed a little bit lackluster to me. None of the salt shakers work, they need to buy new Pepper and Salt shakers for every table. Also I think the Mantra has had its day, it seems dated for the price you pay. The shower head does not even have a hand held option for adjustable height and rinsing, just the old fashioned small inflexible shower rose. I'm being petty but I paid a lot so I have certain expectations for the tariff.

During our stay, tradesmen were renovating a downstairs apartment. The noise wasn't too bad, but downstairs and in the adjacement block there were occasional drill and banging sounds. The apartment was clean, but just showing some signs of wear and tear, but everything worked and was modern. Amenities like soaps and great variety of teas and drink included. My only negative would be that the sofa bed was folded out when we arrived and was in the middle of the small living area, taking up almost all of the living room area, and we paid for the \"ocean view\" apartment, which I think is a bit misleading as it faces the tennis courts and the green area, which is nice, but the ocean is definitely not the predominant view. You can hear the ocean easily but there was another apartment block between us and the ocean and it is this block that was in the photos and I thought we were booking. That block however looked to be almost entirely undergoing renovations. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, top quality and very good price and great service. I would stay there again, but I would be clear about the room and orientation I was booking. ps. could do with some extra blankets in the room, had to leave the heater on overnight.
