While there are a number of Caller/Cuers who have booked accommodation at the Mantra Resort.
I thought more would have booked by now.
Remember, in Adelaide, the Mantra Resort accommodation will be opened up to everyone.
If you're going to the Conference and you would like to stay in the same Resort, get in quick.
It is a large Resort, but it is "First In, Best Dressed" as they say.
