This place is an absolute winner in terms of location, especially when you have little kids! We stayed 3 weeks in Collaroy and loved the playground across the road, the pub 'The Collaroy', good coffee at Sloppy Tee's and the prime location next to the beach. You can easily enjoy a stroll along the beach or Long Reef, or do an early swim in the rock pool while the sun rises. It's also very easy to get to the city with the B-Line. Manly is only a 15min drive away. The place was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed. Our 4,5 year old daughter loved it!
