Mowbray Vacation Rentals

"We enjoyed our stay. This is our 6th trip to the area and first stay at mantra amphora. The hotel is in a great location and easy walking to everything. The day spa is lovely and Vivo restaurant is out front and it’s fantastic. I preferred it to Nu Nu to be honest. Our room was beautifully decorated and clean but on arrival the odour was so bad (think dog bones or a butcher shop) I had to go straight to Coles the next day, and buy a glade plug in and air freshener costing me $30 just to get rid of it. We looked everywhere, opened the doors, wiped the fridge, but couldn’t find the cause. This was the main downside. We had to constantly spray each day. Bed was comfy and spa bath in room was great after a long day. Pool area is busy. We didn’t get to try hot tub as it’s dominated continually by groups of guys drinking in it. Not great when you have little kids but we did swim in the pool. Overall it’s an ok hotel, very family orientated and we’d stay again but maybe look at Drift or Alamanda first as they are just a little bit nicer. Cairns is the most amazing place to visit and so much to do. Overall this hotel is a 3.5/5"

"Resort very tired"

"Bathrooms a bit dated! Looks like it hadn’t been modernised since I was there 30 years ago. All the enamel on bathtub was worn off. Bit disappointing for the price."

"Underneath garage was 35 degrees so it needs better ventilation"

"Our stay was exceptional. Only opportunity would be to replace the dryer in our apartment as it wont work even if you only put 2 or 3 clothes to dry"

"1st was the code to get your key i was in flight when it was sent to me and was unable to view my email next the wifi is absolutely terrible not only in the resort but even out at the restaurants. Last was the lady that came out to give us the key was pleasant but when we left she walked right past us (and yes she did see us) and said absolutely nothing.. I guess that is how they treat there clients that are paying there salary"

"We had a lovely time at Sea Change- we got a two bedroom poolside room which was great- sit on the balcony, open the gate and plunge into the pool! Bed was very comfy and king size- amenities in kitchen were amazing and we had a coffee machine that got a good workout- bring your own ground beans for that barista experience. Easy walk into the town with plenty of restaurant options and the flags are just opposite the hotel if u want to brave the oce"

"The air-conditioner was effective and was very clean and staff were very friendly."

"The beds were so old and hard, my husband slept on the couch and I slept on one of the kids single beds instead. The noise in the apartment was terrible, you can hear everyone in the stairwell and the footsteps on the floor above. There were also conatantly flies everywhere, even with all the screens closed. For the prive we paid I expected alot more. I will say the pool area is very family friendly though, which we enjoyed."
