The guaranteed block bookings at Mantra Esplanade and Mantra Trilogy are now fully booked.
There are still publicly-available rooms at these two hotels, but you must book soon to avoid missing out.
The Mantra Esplande and the Mantra Trilogy have guaranteed block bookings and discounted rates for Lattice 2012. To obtain the discounted rates, you must book directly with the hotel via phone (available 24 hours, 7 days a week), fax, or e-mail only. Booking made via their websites will not receive the discounted rates.
As Cairns is a very popular tourist destination and June is considered their high season, we strongly recommend that you make reservations as early as possible before the deadline of April 25 to receive the group rate. Once the block of rooms are filled the prices will be higher. Do not wait until the deadline.
Note: the most cost effective option is the Hotel room twin share (i.e. 2 people at AUD$60 per person per night), but it will be your responsibility to find a room mate and reserve the room under both names. Only one account will be issued per room and you will need to split costs.
Registrations must be made directly with the Mantra Esplanade, and can be made by phone, fax, or email only.
