What an amazing introduction to Airbnb! I couldn't have wished for a better home from home and Cheryl and Darryl proved incredibly warm and hospitable hosts.

The views from the lounge and balcony over Manly Bay are breathtaking, making it the perfect spot for enjoying a glass of vino, or two! Consider the third glass a reward for making it up the hill! The penthouse has been lovingly renovated in recent years and the tidiness and attention to detail is evident everywhere. The bedroom has a really comfy bed and the bathroom, with a choice of power shower or decadent bath, make this the ultimate oasis to relax and unwind. A shared interest in DIY got us chatting on my first evening there and as the week slipped by, so too did an hour or two each evening as we laughed and talked as if we’ve known each other for years. Darryl in particular has some fantastic stories from his world travels.

Manly is a gorgeous place and as long time members of the community both Cheryl and Darryl are able to make recommendations on pretty much any topic. Nothing seems too much for this great couple.

I’m running out of superlatives …. give this gem it a go, you won’t regret it!
