Experiences
When you stay at Mantra Terrace Hotel you are close to the very best the city, and the immediate region, have to offer. If your main purpose is to shop till you drop then the Queen Street Mall is the place where it all happens, with a great variety of specialty retail stores, fashion boutiques and entertainment galore. When you've done the Mall continue onto the Valley - Fortitude Valley is where the fun and funky shopping commences with exciting designer originals and all the latest fashion trends.
The CityHopper Ferry will take you to some great destinations like the Maritime Museum, North Quay and South Bank. Take a picnic to the parklands, bathe and bask in the lagoon and man-made beach or catch the latest show at the Performing Arts Centre.
If markets are your thing, The Riverside Craft Markets or the unique Bogo Road Markets in the old gaol are held every Sunday. Perhaps you're after a pleasant day trip? Mt Coot-tha is perfect for a picnic or lunch at a choice of two great restaurants. Mt Tamborine presents some beautiful bush walks with its amazing forestry and most peaceful waterfall.
