This is our second time in Manly—we loved this place and were surprised about beach access on the harborside being only staircase away. It was beyond clean and we did t experience any “creatures”. There was plenty of space, tastefully done and a full kitchen for those of us that like to cook. think we did struggle a bit with the shower because in the states we have a lip to keep the water inside the shower area. Other than that, the neighborhood is lovely, quiet and very convenient to the ferry and beaches. They included bed linens and towels which is a plus if you’re traveling from afar. Great spot!
