Catering for the full spectrum of holiday needs, Mandala offers the chance to relax in a beautiful peaceful setting or, as the mood dictates, get out and about and enjoy the island. Close to home, you could read a book on the sunny deck, carry a kayak (supplied) down to the shore for a quick paddle, have a game of table tennis in the games shed, cast a line off the rocks, or take a stroll along the shore to Alonnah beach and township (20mins).
