I highly recommend Bougainvilleas Bed and Breakfast. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome, settled into our beautiful and spacious room, given great local information and directions, provided with an absolutely delicious breakfast each morning in a beautiful setting and generally made to feel very much at home. The location is great, just out of the hustle and bustle of Manly beach but within easy walking distance albeit down a hill. There is a free shuttle bus if you wish to avoid walking back up the hill.
I am very grateful to Martine for offering to meet us at the ferry terminal as we had quite a few bags, her recommendations for transport back to the airport very early on a Sunday morning and also for a delightful 'breakfast-to- go' for my very early departure.
We would love to have the opportunity to visit again.
