Amazing

A truly amazing apartment. Everything you want and need for a fantastic trip to Sydney. This apartment had everything, the views and luxury. To have peace and quiet , lovely coastal walks to get around the local surroundings and Manly and close enough to pop on to the very worthwhile ferry over to the City. The apartment was so well equipped for a magical stay. You won’t be disappointed. Kate and Chris are the perfect hosts. Thankyou for everything.

This relaxing garden space is yours to enjoy

Lovely cottage in Manly Vale

We recently had a wonderful stay with Clive and Terese at their beautiful cottage. It was perfect for us as a family of 6 with 4 young kids. Close enough to walk wherever we wanted to be in the surrounding area. The cottage is lovely and so peaceful, the gardens are great too. Clive and Terese are fantastic hosts who make you feel so welcome. The welcome supplies and treats were so nice to arrive to after a long journey. We hope to return some day in the future.

Excellent apartment in the perfect spot

The property is spacious, well furnished and very well-equipped. A huge wraparound terrace has comfortable and attractive outdoor seating and dining areas. A parasol or awning might be helpful as it’s in sunshine for most of the day. Toni was very helpful when there was a little glitch with the access arrangements, and resolved it in minutes . The building is very secure and there are two parking spots in a gated area. The area is very quiet and residential, but only minutes from a mini-market and a short stroll to the lively shops and restaurants of Manly, and the ferry terminal. Beware, however, the return is all uphill!

Fully equipped kitchen with coffee machine. Short walk to many beaches and restaurants in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. We have stayed in many Airbnb’s all around the world and this was certainly one of the best!
