Kathryn's place was perfect in every way. It's tucked away from the noise of the city but within walking distance to all the Manly shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. I've been traveling within Australia for a month and Kathryn's place has by far been my favorite experience. She was helpful from the very beginning with tips on public transport, helped me find a great yoga studio, loaned me a bike as I'm an explorer, and gave great recommendations on hikes which I wouldn't have found on my own. She truly makes her guests feel at home and her house is absolutely lovely - filled with plants and peaceful decor. If you are in Manly, this is a must-stay.
