Manly is a family-friendly beach town. Parking at the beach and in front of the house can be tricky, so it’s best to just walk to/from the beach. There are a few beach options to explore in the area. We did several activities in Sydney—which wasn’t too far away. The house is neat, but it is a family home, so not much wardrobe space. Overall, it was a great place to enjoy our time in Sydney.
