This place is fantastic. The view, location and facilities are truly ideal. Manly is one of the best places in the World to visit and this apparent is in the heart of all the action. Ideal for us to make an early run and swim (check out"Bold and Beautiful" ) before breakfast. The location in the heart of Manly means it is too easy to either eat/drink in or out. Within walking distance there are several exciting beaches, Pacific waves or calm harbour side to choose from. My favourite being to snorkel in the Cabbage Bay Reserve. There is no need to venture further. But all this is within a 30/40 minute ferry route to central Sydney for all that that has to offer. Don't think about the fast ferry take the 'slow' one and enjoy the views! Endless choices.
