Our stay at the apartment was wonderful. The location was ideal for us since we were travelling with three children and the walk with kids and luggage in tow was short (from the Manly ferry harbour the walk is less than 10 mins with kids - 5 mins without kids). The unit is on the first floor which again great with strollers. The walk to the Corso (main street with restaurants and shops) is 10 mins away and there are a number of supermarkts there and a couple of organic markets as well. The main beach is also 10-15 minute walk away and there is a closer smaller beach 5 minutes away by the ferry.
The apartment itself suited our needs. The master bedroom was quiet and large enough for us to put a cot in there. The second bedroom/office had a pullout sofa and was good for the kids since they are little. The kitchen was great since we could cook breakfast there and there is a large eating area/table. There is also wifi available and television (however we never watched TV).
And the hosts were great. Susie was there to welcome us and see us off even when our check out was early in the morning. She even was gracious enough in helping us arrange the baby equipment hire and kind enough to drop us off to the harbour on a very rainy day. Marie was very nice to leave a welcome pack as well. Thank you very much for making our stay very pleasant after a very long flight over!
