Great Location

The unit is located near all the attractions of Manly, but is removed enough to afford a quiet stay. It is near the wharf which provides quick and easy access to the Sydney CBD. The beach in front of the unit is very convenient for a quick swim.

Lovely apartment with fabulous view

The apartment is probably better than the photos suggest. The bathroom is compact and the bed is a standard double I believe but the main living area is fabulous.

Fantastic!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this apartment located across the street from Little Manly Beach. The apt is very spacious, well-equipped, quiet, and clean. We enjoyed the great views, sounds of the local birds, and use of the bbq. A short walk to downtown Manly, and/or easy access to the local ‘free’ bus. We very much enjoyed staying in this comfortable home - we should have stayed longer than 3 weeks.

Wow! Our stay was amazing

We spent a week in this apartment and didn’t want to leave. The unit is very comfortable, well equipped and the location can’t be beat. It’s in a family neighborhood and a fifteen to twenty minute walk to Manly wharf. Little Manly beach is right across the road and it has easy access to walking trails. It felt like you were staying at home. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and I’d stay here again. I highly recommend this unit.

Exceptional View

They say that you should not return to a place you enjoined but this apartment in Little Manly is the exception, it only got better, thanks to the local council cutting down a dead tree, it opened up the full view of the cove.I recommend that future visitors take binoculars, for all you will do is look out of the panoramic window, to see the ever changing water traffic, from surfboards to cruise liners and everything in between. Perfect location perfect holiday.

This is the kind of place you want to keep a secret, and not rave about - but you can't not! It's absolutely wonderful. Quiet, cosy, beautifully furnished, abundantly equipped kitchen, heavenly bed, the garage - for a smallish car - is a godsend in this part of Manly, and the view over Little Manly beach and the harbour is blissful! The bathroom is definitely dinky and might be tricky for a tall / large person, but it does the job and the shower is good. Good restaurant / cafe directly across the road.Great communication with Kim; just all round 5 stars!

We absolutely loved our stay at Little Manly. The apartment is perfect with million dollar views from the large living room and kitchen. The apartment is well-appointed, very clean and we immediately felt like we were at home when we walked through the front door. The bedroom is good size with plenty of drawer space, a TV and overhead fan. A good-sized washer and dryer are in the unit and you have the option of hanging your clothes to dry on lines behind the apartment. We rented a car for part of our stay and it was nice to have our own garage to park the car in the evening.The apartment is located a relatively short walk to downtown, Manly beach and shopping; and an even shorter across the street walk to Manly Cove's beach, a nice cafe and a local shuttle that will transport you to Manly - free of charge.Our hosts were very responsive and answered any query almost immediately. If we could live in Manly - it would be in this apartment - it's perfect.

Nice apartment with beautiful view

The apartment is exactly as advertised, and in a lovely quiet location, with a fabulous view of Little Manly Beach and beyond, across the harbour all the way to the city of Sydney. We enjoyed long walks to North Head to take in the beautiful coastline. The apartment is well-equipped, with a nice balcony and barbecue. It is perfect for a couple. Unfortunately we had to cancel our booking after 10 nights due to the Covid-19 crisis. Kim the owner very kindly agreed to refund the 7 nights we were unable to stay. We have not as yet received the refund, but the owner has committed to do so, and I am sure she will, for which we thank her. We were very sad to leave.

Binoculars and Camera essential.

This property is just perfectly splendid (borrowed saying) but describes 59 Stuart Street, Little Manly, NSW exactly. The location cannot be bettered, with a great beach only two minutes walk away and a bus service even closer. The one bedroom apartment is well laid out, well furnished and supplied with everything necessary for a comfortable stay., our favourite thing was to look out over the beach and bay at the very busy waterway, every day was different, with lots to see.(Binoculars). Then there were the glorious sunrises and sunsets. The location is ideal. A number of the locals came to visit, the cheeky Cockatoo's, chattering Larakeets, loud Kookaburra's and the territorial Turkey, all provided great entertainment. (Camera). It would be great if we could stay again, at some future date. There is a down side, there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the apartment and I found the placement of the toilet basin rather awkward but these in no way detract from the overall quality of this holiday rental, truly wonderful.

Nicely furnished, great view

It’s cozy, but elegantly furnished to make the most of tight space. The balcony provides great views of Little Manly beach, around the corner from the better-known ferry terminal and ocean beach. But they are easily reachable on foot. Our host, Kim, replied promptly and really seemed to care about helping us make the most of our stay.

We'll be back - hopefully

Lovely property in a perfect spot. A morning swim and great coffee every day and just across the road. The centre of Manly is just 4 minutes away on the twice hourly free Hop, Skip and Jump bus. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. At the end of our 3 week stay, I had the pleasure of meeting our host, Kim, who had been ever so helpful during the booking process with the uncertainty of changing Covid restrictions. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Wonderful get away

We thoroughly enjoyed our little piece of paradise. Even though the building was old, the minute we opened the door to the apartment we stepped into a beautifully decorated and well equipped space and a view to die for. It was so convenient to Manly Fery and some wonderful walks. We didn't need to use our car for the whole time we were there. Thank you Kim and Robert
