Home away from home

The bedroom was light and airey with a view to the garden. You can feel the peace. Breakfast was (for me) delicious. The hosts ware delightful and they respected your privacy. It’s a single or couples haven.

A very good place to stay, but for room only!

Overall, a very good place to stay for a few nights. Excellent bathroom and shower facilities, very clean and quiet. The only downside for us was the breakfast. No alternative choice to very sweet muesli was offered and very small serving of toast/pastries and coffee - we bought breakfast out every morning in Manly.

We spent 9 nights in this lovely home. The breakfasts were very good and everything was immaculately clean.The location couldn't have been more convenient as the 144 bus goes every 10 minutes from the top of the road.

Peaceful retreat in Fairlight

You have the top floor to yourself. We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing break and we weren't disappointed, it was a great base. The owner is thoughtful and accomodating and she makes a lovely Swiss continental breakfast. We didn't use the backyard area but it is a lush, green space. There's on street parking but no need to drive once there, as the beaches and restaurants are a short walk away or there are regular buses. It is not a hotel, but that said, we had an enjoyable stay and would happily recommend it.

Perfect

We absolutely loved this property. It is within a short walk of Balgowlah shops and Fairlight Beach, yet it is quiet and peaceful. Martine and Steve made us feel welcome and at home from the very beginning. We were served absolutely beautiful breakfasts each morning. The accommodation was bright, airy and a joy to spend time in. We especially liked the covered balcony. The bathroom has everything you need and more, and there is lots of space in the walk-in-robe. We could have our privacy when we wanted, and Martine and Steve were available whenever we needed anything. Thank you to Martine and Steve for making our stay so lovely!
