About this property
A Kiwi beachside holiday a couple of minutes walk to the sand ...
... a short stroll down the road and a private walkway will see you on Big Manly beach, a safe swimming beach and a great location to put the boat in the water to enjoy the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Yes, you can park your boat off the road here.
Our bach has polished concrete floors for a stress free stay ... with small animals negotiable, a small lawn for children to play and a sunny, private patio that has great indoor/outdoor flow from the living area.
Situated in a quiet street with another home on the front of the section, this is not suitable for parties.
Manly on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula is a great holiday destination with plenty of beaches, walks, tennis, golf, boating, cafes and restaurants, movies and ferries to the CBD (weekdays) and Tiritiri from Gulf Harbour.
We are also open to doing swaps, the times do not need to be simultaneous.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Franklin
We both grew up around beaches and the water and love the Kiwi beach lifestyle. Our bach's location a couple of minutes walk to the beach gives you this lifestyle. We love travelling and have been to plenty of amazing places but Manly beach and the beaches on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula are amongst the best we have seen in the world.
Why they chose this property
Manly is a beach community where people wander to their destination, often along the beach and the locals all say 'Hi'. It is very relaxed but only about 45 minutes off peak to Auckland city.
