Fantastic apartment- great location and very clean!! Hosts were incredibly accommodating and apartment is better than you expect - great furnishings, comfortable beds and a kitchen you can actually use. We loved Manly beach and this place was perfect for our family of 5. Easy walk to shops and restaurants and great view of beach. Manly is a very active town - everyone surfing, swimmimg, running and more - great spot for active families/couples. We did it all and had a great time. Beach is really safe due to lots of guards who watch the current and waves and keep everyone safe. Easy ferry ride into Sydney. We were so happy our kids had the beach instead of a hotel swimmimg pool. If you want to visit Sydney and experience the great beach life, Manly is the perfect location.
