Beautiful Manly

The home and location is beautiful. Close enough to walk to town and the wharf, yet very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful amenities and a host who is present and available throughout the day. Interesting that this was the only vrbo owner who personally checked us in and showed us how everything worked On our entire 6 week vacation.

Very comfortable, well kept and in a great location! The only thing that would have been the cherry on the cake is air conditioning during the summer heat wave. We will definitely come back during spring, winter and fall! Thank you Anni for an enjoyable stay!!

An oasis in suburban Manly

A beautiful, spacious property with light beaming in from all angles. Looking across the private lush green lawn from the living area, you could be in a country woodland, rather than suburban Manly- a place where we woke to the song of Kookaburras in the trees - yet only a leisurely stroll to the beach or the wharf. A perfect stay!

Perfect stay in Manly

We had a wonderful week-long stay in Manly. The flat is lovely and very well equipped...it really felt like home to us. Lots of space to spread out, including huge closets and an awesome bathroom. Parking on the street was never an issue and the neighborhood was very quiet. Our hosts were quite responsive and thoughtful. We highly recommend this flat near Sydney.

We stayed at the apartment for 2 weeks while we were in Sydney. It is in a really convenient spot with the beach and restaurants a short walk away and the ferry an easy walk. The apartment is light, bright, quiet really nicely decorated and equipped with everything for a comfortable stay. Anni is a great host who made sure we had everything we needed.

The Best of Manly...

This is a lovely, large, bright, airy flat located in a very quiet area away from the mania that can be Manly, but close enough via short walk to beach and downtown. Anni was the perfect host, available if you needed something, otherwise invisible. We are looking at buying a property in Manly or surrounds in the next year, and will definitely stay here again!!! Thanks Anni !!!
