Great Manly stay
I was there over Christmas with my family (spouse and two kids). Apartment was within walking distance to the beach, playground and grocery store. It was well equipped with cooking supplies and everything you need for the beach, including a sun shade!. Hosts were extremely responsive. It was a great apartment for a great holiday.

Disappointed
The hosts were lovely & very helpful. The apartment had all that was needed. I was disappointed to see so much stuff in the wardrobes. I had nowhere to hang clothes in the smaller bedroom. Guests shouldn’t be expected to share the space with other people’s stuff. The apartment needs a declutter.

Very tastefully furnished apartment that offers great comfort. The location is wonderful and the apartment can also be reached by public transport within a short time. The kitchen is great for preparing meals. The presence of a washing machine in the accommodation would have been very convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Woods

Host profile image
Welcome to Manly Beach, Sydney. We have always loved the beach and spending time outdoors, so made the sea change to this most beautiful and vibrant part of our coastline. We can't ever imagine moving away. Incredible proximity to beach, harbour and the Sydney CBD.
Every day brings something new in this special part of Sydney. The spectacular sunrises ( viewed at the end of our street) and sunsets ( best viewed from Manly Harbour) are some of our favourite things, as are my daily walks along the beach or bayside, finishing with some of the best coffee you will find anywhere. It’s great to be able to explore both bodies of water; with the many cafes, boutiques and restaurants along the way. Most are open before 7am for an breakfast and brunch.
