Bob's place made an excellent base for 3 days in Manly. Its overlooks a bay with sea-side park & coffee shop. Its walking distance to Coles etc, and about 20 mins along a foreshore path to Manly wharf. We parked our car in the side street and just forgot about it for the duration, in preference to the offstreet parking. Bob kindly includes a range of provisions in the kitchen - much more than other places I've stayed.
