Geraldton Homestays

Located about a 5-minute walk from a lovely sandy beach (with showers and toilets) in the adjacent beach car park, this guest apartment hotel is close to perfect! It is a large complex of apartments immaculately kept with a helpful and friendly reception. Although the environment is a bit too much concrete it has a large 1.6m deep (and easily 15m long) swimming pool with sun loungers and a sauna too! Our apartment was superb. It had a microwave, kettle, crockery, cutlery, big screen TV, excellent wi-fi, iron, ironing board, hair dryer - in fact everything you could need - and two lovely comfortable beds too! There was a couch for sitting and a desk for working. It was clean, comfortable, spacious and near perfect! Good security too with a gated entrance to the apartments themselves. We paid £95 for one night. Nearest breakfast was McDonalds just up the road!

This motel is located well for motorways (our initial reason for booking). We were treated with excellent service - and we had things needing to be done - and hospitality. Landed early and were given the room straight away (it had already been prepared after the last guests). Complimentary breakfast as provided on a night tray as we were leaving early. Rooms spacious and clean. Water pressure to take the skin off your back if you want it! Rooms dated BUT clean and functional. Probably the best value stay we had in WA!

We stay here for one night as pit stop of our road trip, great location, spacious & nice room. love their amenities too, the shower gel, shampoo & conditioner smell so good! The only thing we want to share is they have only one lift, so on the day we check out it was under maintenance thus we have no choice and follow the instructions to use the emergency staircase to bring our luggage down to the car park, but the staff lock the emergency exit when we try to head down second time, it's very dangerous if emergency happen guest will then stuck in the building due to one small mistake of the staff.

A two site property, with two different ratings. We aware staying at The Mantra for 9 nights, during the period of my son’s wedding. We had booked a 3-bedroomed apartment for the entirety of the stay, to give us plenty of space. On arrival into the 3-bed apartment overlooking the road, it was dark, dated and quite frankly very dirty and need of a (very) deep clean. So back at reception, (after a brief discussion about the wind in Geraldton being the cause) Romena then came out to the reception and asked about my issues. Frankly she saved the day (well 10 days to be precise). She offered us a 2 bedroom apartment in the newer block by the marina (though we were on the car park side of the building). What a difference!! A modern bright apartment, all spotlessly clean, and although we only had 2 bedrooms there was still plenty of space. Romena came back up to the old apartment (17) and took pictures to show the state of the apartment to raise the matter with housekeeping. So without a doubt, stay in the new block, if you can can get a marina view, even better. We had an issue with our washing machine and I was offered the use of a machine in another room after guests had checked out, and the view was amazing. (Thanks to Donna from housekeeping for sorting out the use of the washing machine!!) Nonetheless we had a side view of the beach, and a great view over the town up to the HMAS Sydney memorial. Skeetas restaurant is situated in the same building, and we had breakfast there a couple of times, a takeaway dinner, and a few drinks overlooking the marina. So yes, I would definitely stay at the Mantra Geraldton again, but only in the new block!! Please upgrade the rooms in the other block to the same standard (indeed to the standard you would expect from a Mantra) to avoid guests being so disappointed!!

This hotel is the best value in Geraldton. Its located right on the ocean foreshore and very reasonably priced. Upon arriving we were greeted by the fantastic staff who were very quick to assist. I had a balcony room which was very comfortable. We had a car but as the was limited parking we parked on the street. No problems. A lovely touch was a free drink voucher in their bar. Whilst talking about drinks, this hotel has the cheapest mini bar prices I've ever seen. I was gob smacked to see Coronas and other beers for $6 each and cheap chocolate snacks in the room mini bar. We had breakfast here the next morning and apart from being decent serves, it was very tasty, as was the coffee. A great stay, but shame I wasn't staying longer.
