Reviews for Mantra Lorne
Lillian Brett
Wonderful huge premises, located metres away from the beach and with a private walkway to it. Rooms were good size, bathrooms (except the height of the bathtub to get into for the shower was a bit too high!) Were well equipped with luxurious toiletries, plenty of good coffee and tea sachets, and extremely comfortable beds! Enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Very underwhelming, especially for the price. This was the most expensive accommodation of our Great Ocean Road trip, so we were really looking forward to a comfortable, nice room. Unfortunately, it ended up being the most disappointing. The room was extremely small and poorly laid out. The fridge was inside a cupboard beside the bed, and when the cupboard door was open there was literally no room to walk past it. There was also a cracked window and a funky smell in the room. The bathroom was another disappointment. The shower was over a very high-sided bath, which I found difficult and honestly quite unsafe to step in and out of. There were also lots of stairs to navigate with luggage. The staff weren’t rude, but the service lacked warmth or personality and certainly didn’t add anything positive to the stay. For what we paid, we expected a much better standard of room and overall experience. Unfortunately, this was easily the most underwhelming accommodation of our trip.

Last weekend we arrived at the Mantra in Lorne and were warmly welcomed by Hilary who was delightful. Our accommodation was perfect. The sea view was beautiful and the sound of the ocean very meditative. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the staff were very attentive. The location is excellent and we were able to do some lovely walks in and around Lorne. We will definitely be back .

We have stayed at the Mantra many times and its always wonderful for us, which is why we keep returning. Unfortunately, our stay last weekend involved a medical incident. All the staff were quick to respond and were truly amazing. Especially Hannah, late Saturday night, and Shona, on Sunday. I cant thank them enough as they went above and beyond for us. We will never forget their kindness and genuine care. Thankyou xx

Loved our night at Mantra Lorne. Had a very warm welcome from Hilary on front desk. Enjoyed a hit of tennis and then a drink at the bar. Breakfast was great. There was one male server in particular in Tuesday morning who made delicious coffees and was very nice to interact with. Will absolutely be back. Loved it.
