Loved the views and facilities - but very cold apartment.
Pros:

The location/proximity to the CBD, great views, the facilities were exceptional - however the heating was Non-existent! We arrived without any heaters being turned on, windows open and the heating was as previously stated - no good. The electric heating took overnight to get a small amount of chill out of the place.

Cons:

As previously expressed, the heating was just non-existent for this time of the year. No other heating was available.

My stay offered some beautiful moments, but also several issues that are important for future guests to know
Pros:

The view was absolutely stunning — truly breathtaking, with sweeping sights of the lake and the mountains. The staff were fantastic. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and their kindness really stood out. Thank you to the team for your efforts.

Cons:

These apartments should not be advertised as luxury. Each unit has a different owner, and although Mantra manages them, the quality completely depends on whether the individual owner has put any pride, care, or attention into their apartment.

Apartment 15 was extremely basic. The dryer filter kept falling into the clean clothes, leaving dust everywhere.
Apartment 16 was a bit more modern, but still nowhere near “luxury.” Their website claims the one‑bedroom apartments include underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, this is incorrect, as neither feature was present.
Friends of ours stayed in a two‑bedroom apartment at the same time and also agreed it was not a luxury apartment.

They were disappointed as well.

Overall, the standard varies wildly between units, and none of the apartments we experienced matched the luxury description.

Comfy with amazing views of lake
Pros:

Location had amazing views of the lake

Cons:

A couple small things, a dirty towel left on back of bathroom door from maybe previous guest, blocked shower drain that didn’t drain well and just the odd bit of dust around the place.

Pros:

The plus point is the beautiful lake mountain views but it came with a price of steep slopes to access the apartment.

Cons:

The main bed mattresses were acceptable but the single mattress spring was no good in the 2nd bedroom. Shower water pressure no good.
