Mantra Hervey Bay

Mantra Hervey Bay

8/10 Good
"Location, location, location. Tha Mantra is on the harbour, right next to where you might want to board a whale watching boat. The room was clean, had a nice view of the harbour and bay and was entirely functional. It is showing its age though. Not one usb port to be found and no ev charging. But then Hervey Bay is not exactly progressive generally, so maybe to be expected. The lighting in the room was fluro and very harsh. But we liked the balcony and the convenience. A good option."
