Hotels near Mount Formartine North Summit

"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"

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

"Lovely property, stayed here as a family group with individual apartments each. Clean and tidy with all the facilities that we needed. Pool was great and bbq area a bonus"

"Great value stay across the street from the beach."

"Perfect accommodation at a perfect location."

"Unit was neat and tidy. In an excellent location and at a great price. Would definitely stay again. Would like a jug for cold water in the fridge though :) "

"On the positive side there were lovely beach views, excellent staff, and it was a great location close to everything in Palm Cove. There were nice touches like complimentary chocolates in the fridge on arrival. The things that weren’t so good included: the hot water in the shower never got past warm, the aircon in the main bedroom didn’t blow cold air when set on cool mode, the towels were small and thin and it was impossible to block out the light by closing the Venetian blinds. Additionally, the room was directly opposite the chapel so privacy was limited. Overall it was good but expensive "

"The 3 bedroom villa with private pool was one of the highlights on our month long tour of Australia. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful (we unexpectedly arrived after check in time - denoted as 6pm on Expedia, but 5:30pm is the actual close. No worries as staff had arranged a very easy alternate check in method). The space in the villa was huge, the kitchen and pantry full of helpful item, the grounds were immaculate and full of flora and fauna. Just breathtaking. We'd travel back to Palm Cove just to stay at the Sanctuary!"

"Freshly cooked breakfast on the large deck overlookig the sea - what a great way to start a day! "
