Beyond the confines of the home, a sparkling pool provides a refreshing oasis. Adjacent, a sprawling outdoor dining area with BBQ, perfect for al fresco gatherings of up to twelve—an invitation to share laughter. After a swim in the pool relax and enjoy the benefits of the 2 person Kylin infrared sauna - perfect for a moment to relax and unwind.

Freshwater
Just a short distance from Manly, Freshwater offers a laid-back coastal vibe that’s perfect for a relaxing getaway. With its village atmosphere, this Northern Beaches gem is home to great dining, boutique shopping, and a stunning beachfront. If you're looking for accommodation in Freshwater, you’ll find a variety of cosy stays that make the perfect base for exploring the area.

The heart of the suburb is its charming main strip, where you’ll find boutique stores and some of the best local spots to eat. This is where you’ll find St Alma, the place to head for a modern Mexican feast. Other local favourites are a little closer to the beach. Grab a casual bite at the Harbord Hotel, a Freshwater institution, or for entertainment, Harbord Diggers offers everything from live music to dining with panoramic ocean views.

Freshwater beach is a quieter alternative to busier Manly, where you can relax, swim, or even try your hand at surfing. Freshwater beach is after all the birthplace of Australian surfing. Whether you’re here for the food, the shops, or simply to unwind by the sea, Freshwater accommodation has something for every kind of traveller, making it an ideal spot for your next Northern Beaches escape.
