One of the nicest experiences ever staying in a B&B-style accommodation. From the time Cheryl greeted me at the door until I reluctantly handed back the key, their home was a welcome accommodation to a more-than-weary traveler. Having been in Sydney several times and Manly a few times for day trips, it was great to experience the quality of life on that side of the harbor. From the beaches to the bars and restaurants, there isn't much need to board the ferry into Sydney when Manly offers so much. You can also just sit on their patio with a bottle of Australian wine and stare out at their stunning view. Be forewarned...you may not want to leave the bed.
