Helena was a wonderful host who made sure we knew she was there for any queries or issues we may have had, although there were none! The house is beautiful and has a wonderful homely feel. It’s a walk up the hill from central Manly (10-15 mins walk) or there is a free bus which we didn’t need to use! There are restaurants, shops and a supermarket a 5 min walk away and Fairlight beach 10-15 minutes walk in the other direction. It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday in North Sydney! We were very happy with our whole experience with Helena and her house.
