Mantra Frangipani Broome bintang 4

Nestled in greenery within walking distance of Cable Beach, Mantra Frangipani provided a spacious cabin with all you needed - kitchen, outdoor shower, laundry facilities and your own BBQ and patio. It really had everything. Staff were excellent and responsive. HIghly recommend for a self contained place to enjoy Broome.

We have stayed at the Mantra Frangipani on three previous occasions over the past 20 years. The location is great. A 20 minute walk to the beach, the bus stops outside and there’s plenty of parking if you have a car. There are also two pools. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa for the first time but the layout and amenities are pretty standard. The outdoor shower is amazing. The villa we had this time was in very poor disrepair, most of the cupboards were warped, damaged and did not close in the kitchen. It was tired and in need of a spruce up.

It’s a bit tired and in need of some loving, but … what a magic place to stay. Located 10 minutes out of the town centre but has a bus stop at the front gate should you not have access to a vehicle. Generous sized bedroom and lounge/kitchen, both with ceiling fans and airconditioners. Kitchen is fitted out with fridge, dishwasher, microwave and cooktop. Also a washer/dryer and laundry trough to use. Your very own barbecue at your front door. Without a doubt though, my favourite part was the shower. If I could have packed that shower up and brought it home with me I would have. Magic! Would definitely stay at the Mantra Frangipani again.

Mantra Frangipani is a beautiful resort with a lovely garden setting. The one bedroom apt we stayed in was spacious and had a great view of one of the pools. There was a couch and dining table. It had an outdoor shower that was the best I’ve ever had. There was a dishwasher, washing machine (which I think was a dryer as well) and microwave. There was an almost new Webber on the lovely portico. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

The villa I stayed in (villa 1), was spacious and well appointed, especially for a 1 bedroom space. There is a sheltered outdoor space, with bbq, table and shares, and a day-bed. The entry is a wide sliding door, into open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining. The kitchen had a set of crockery and cutlery, microwave, electric hotplates, kettle, toaster, french press, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The dining chairs were a bit rickety, but having a large table was handy. The bedroom has a small table, large bed, wardrobe, plenty of power points and includes the laundry space - a large sink, washing machine dryer combo, and clothes horse. The bathroom was large (and I think designed to be wheelchair accessible, with lots of space to manoeuvre and grab rails). The bathroom has toilet and sink. There is a small courtyard out the back, which includes the outdoor shower. There were plenty of hooks and rails for towels, and an accessible bench to sit to shower. The back courtyard is completely enclosed with a high wall, but I do wonder if 2-storey neighbouring property could see reflections on the windows. The floor surfaces throughout were well worn and marked, but all in-tact. The room was clean and fresh - and it was clearly communicated about the servicing only occurring mid-way in my 8-night stay. The fixtures (eg towel rail in bathroom) needed tightening, and toilet was old, but all functioning and usable. Despite many warnings about security on check-in and throughout the room, the cleaning staff left my back door (to the shower) unlocked after cleaning, and the front screen door. In terms of security, the front screen and sliding door were also quite loose and felt like it wouldn't take much to get through. There was also no way to secure inside, such as with a chain or hook. The reception area sells some snacks and drinks, and there are 2 pools (1 heated, 1 not), with plenty of seating around them, both shaded and sunny. The pools are closed after sunset, presumably for safety (no lifeguards, and fewer staff around later). The gardens are lovely, with sprinklers running to keep them lush and gardeners often around (including using a leaf blower, rather than a broom). The sound of large 4WD vehicles permeates across the area - and in villa 1, could hear it frequently from inside (quite close to the road). The Broome Explorer bus stops out the front, there is an e-scooter parking spot just across the road, and easy car-parking if you have a car.
