Ultrachic executive beach apartment

JamesRating, 5 stars3 days ago
I just spent 3 weeks at Joanne's place in Manly. First, I had to change the dates and Joanne and Zoe were very accommodating with that (and very responsive with subsequent communications), and then the stay itself was fantastic. Everything as described, the flat is clean, comfortable and quiet and has a phenomenal view 9 floors up out over Shelley Beach and South Steyne, and the sun rises over the ocean right out the window. The neigbourhood is great beyond the beach, lots to do and eight (yes, eight) coffee shops within 100 metres (I counted). Overall I would thoroughly recommend and would love to stay there again on my annual pilgrimage to the area.

Chic Manly Beachside Retreat for Surf and City

KellyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Christian was a great host! He was very responsive and helpful. He provided local recommendations. The apartment is very centrally located and walkable to all the hotspots around Manly. And parking is included, which is hard to find in the area! The place was as described and worked great for what I needed. Thank you, Christian!

Manly Local Lifestyle

Chris Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our little home while staying in Manly. It's not too warm, not too cold; it's furnished and equipped with everything you need (apart from a plug in the sink!), and the neighbours are friendly. Manly is a lovely place and the flat is in a perfect spot, midway between the ferries and the main beaches, and close to the shops. Parking is a nightmare in this area, despite Andrew's kind loan of a residents' permit, but you can get a bus (or a ferry) to anywhere with bus stops all around, and SO CHEAP! So don't hire a car! Andrew was also kind enough to let us delay our checkout for a few hours, as we had a late flight home. Lastly, Sydney is a fabulous city; we couldn't get enough! If we can ever afford to come back we'll want to stay here again.

Magical Manly Beachside Apartment

Rachele Space BnBRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Craig and Wendy were the perfect hosts. The apartment was sparkling clean, beautifully styled and they had thought of everything. Beautiful linen and towels - this place is quality!! This is one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. We have found our home away from home when we come to Manly. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for such a comfortable stay.

Manly Beach Retreat - On The Waterfront

HeidiRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a great stay at this apartment! The location is perfect—close and convenient to both the city centre of Manly and the beach. The self-contained apartment had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, though it’s worth noting it doesn’t have an oven or air fryer but it had a microwave. I especially appreciated the secure building and access to the gym and sauna, which were great bonuses. Would definitely stay again!

The Manly Chic Lifestyle by the Sea

SandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Marissa’s place was in a great location. Close to the Manly Wharf, Museum and great cafes/Shopping etc. The building is old so it was a bit dark. Bed was super comfy and decor was lovely. The only thing was how tiny the shower and bathroom was but considering the age of the building, it’s to be expected! A tip for Uber p/up and drop/off use the back entrance on Crescent… much easier! Marissa gave me an early ck-in as I was there on business and was really appreciated!

Your guide to Manly

All About Manly

Though within sight of Sydney, Manly is quite the opposite of the metropolitan hub on the other side of the harbour. Located on the northern side of Sydney, this beach town offers a slice of paradise in the form of surf shops, luxury fashion boutiques, and local bars where you can grab a refreshing drink. Visitors can catch a wave 15 minutes away at the world-famous Manly Beach or grab a snorkel mask or scuba tank and head under the blue water. Just 15 minutes in the other direction is the Manly Lagoon Reserve, a perfect spot to birdwatch or get in some exercise at the outdoor fitness area and skate park.

The city is filled with beautiful sights — visitors can watch the beauty in action during sunset from Sydney Harbour National Park, and even sneak a peek at the iconic Sydney Opera House too.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Manly

Manly is famous for its beaches, which are at their finest in the summer, but the temperature never drops too far — making it a spectacular year-round destination. In May the Gai-mariagal Festival offers visitors a chance to learn about the history of the First Nations People who have long inhabited the island. There’s also the Northern Beaches Music Festival taking place at the same time, which hosts three days of international music, food, and vendors. Dog lovers will find heaven in August during the Dog’s Day Out event, packed to the brim with workshops, competitions, and vendors selling everything you would want to spoil your pooch. And don't count out September and October as this is when the city is filled with arts and jazz festivals to bring a bit of joy to your eyes and ears.


Top things to do in Manly

Manly Beach

According to local legend, Manly Beach is the birthplace of Australian surfing. Home to the first ever surfing competition in 1964, the beach is not only beautiful and soft to walk on, but a piece of history as well. Professional surfers from around the world come to shred the waves of Sydney Harbour, and rookies often follow suit, taking lessons in the same swells as the pros.

Northern Beaches Coast Walk

Starting in Manly and stretching 36 kilometres to Palm Beach, this coastal walking trail boasts a ton of beautiful vantage points. The trails are also wheelchair-accessible and easy to navigate. If you come during the winter, you may even be able to spot some whales along the way.

Manly Art Gallery & Museum

Tucked away at the western edge of Manly Cove Beach, the gallery features an extensive collection of ceramics alongside over 1,000 Australian artworks, and the museum showcases local history and 20th century beach culture, including a collection of longboards and swimwear. The site is also home to photographs, letters, and pieces from a local artist who helped to establish the gallery.
