Manly Seaside Cottage
Welcome to Manly Seaside Cottage, positioned perfectly to take in all that Manly has to offer. Choose to watch the time pass on the beach or to walk to Shelly Beach or Queenscliff Beach, to eat at the many restaurants and cafe or to catch the ferry to see the greater Sydney, you are spoilt for options on how to fill your days and nights.
Start the day with a short 1 minute stroll to the beach-side from this stunning renovated Victorian cottage. Boasting four spacious bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, open plan kitchen and dining, it is perfect for your stay in Manly. Open the bi-fold doors and cook up a storm for a leisurely alfresco dinner in the evening light, then relax with a soak in the high-end marble bathroom.
Manly Seaside cottage has two sitting areas, air-conditioning, a fireplace, and a lovely outdoor dining area. Walk to all the cafes and restaurants in minutes and a short 5 minute walk to the ferry to head into the city. Due to the stairs in the property, we are unable to host children under the age of 5.
The entire home is available for your exclusive use.
Manly is a busy tourist location so please be aware all day street parking is available but at peak times is at a premium, However if you do not have a car there are many other available means of transport if arriving from the airport include taxi, Uber or direct train to Circular Quay and then ferry to Manly, all of these options are quicker than driving and a wonderful way to start your holiday. A 5 mins flat easy walk from the ferry will see you at the cottage and another 100m will see you sitting on the beach. All in less than 1hr.

Thanks Jason, we are so happy you and your guests enjoyed our property. We would welcome you back anytime to enjoy the close proximity to everything Manly has to offer.
Perfect location - minutes walk to manly beach, 10 minutes walk to manly wharf where you can catch a ferry into downtown city and be there in 30 minutes- with spectacular views on the way! We were two families with two kids each and the setup was perfect for us- we had one family upstairs and one downstairs. The whole house has perfect little touches throughout- hooks for hanging all your beach items, beach towels, chairs, games, etc. We loved the outdoor seating in the backyard as well. It was perfect.

Hi Marian, we are so delighted you enjoyed our home and noticed the special little touches we have included. Location wise we are so fortunate to be positioned so close to the beach and the main area of Manly. Thank you for staying with us and we would love to have you stay with us again.
We absolutely loved this house for our stay in Manly. The house is beautifully designed and has a great layout. Everything in the house is great quality & there are some lovely pieces of art. There is also a surfboard and an outside shower which is lovely touch. The location of the house is perfect for beaches, the wharf, and shops and cafes, all within a very short walk. The only issue was our check in, we were there after the agreed check in time - but the alarms went off and it took some time to get in touch with the office to sort it out, they put it down to a cleaner who had incorrectly left the house alarmed. We didn’t use the garden area as there is a major refurb happening on the house next to the neighbouring house, which meant loud machinery noise every day including weekends, however we just made the most of the short walk to the beach and enjoyed our coffees there. Overall - we would dearly love to return to this beautiful house.

Hi Paula, we would love to have you back anytime. We agree the location of the home to the beach and the manly cafes and restaurants allows you to walk everywhere without having to worry re cars or transport.Yes a bit of a faux par with the alarm on your arrival, which was resolved within minutes of it occurring, and in Sydney currently there is alot of building happening. We envisage this one to be completed very soon.

Awesome cottage. Great location
We really enjoyed our stay in Manly. There were 5 of us ( 2 teenage boys and an 8 year old ) . The cottage had everything we needed. I would recommend here if you are looking to have a relaxed easy family holiday. Everything was easy to access. A flat easy walk to everything.

We loved our stay at Manly Seaside Cottage. It is well appointed, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Great location and close to amenities and transport. We didn't use our car after arrival and walked everywhere. Short step to the beach with boards and great outdoor shower on return!

Great stay! :-)
Amazing beach just a 5 minute walk away, a really good gourmet supermarket, and lots of restaurants. The house is really cute, and I think thy're building an even better one in the same place so I'm sure we'll book it again when we return to Sydney.

Great Property, Superb Location
You simply can't go wrong with this property. We had a great time in this lovely rental. It has everything we needed. If you're travelling with children like us (1 and 4 yrs of age) I would highly recommend this place.
It's quiet, is has a closed off back yard, it doesn't have anything 'dangerous' for the kids and, it's one block from the beach. Also the Corso and main streets are just a few minutes away, a nice stroll.
Karen was an excellent host, we only needed her assistance once for extra towels. Within a day this was taken care off.
I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous! Thanku!
Thanku so much for all the attention to detail you paid as our stay was so special. Every time we opened a cupboard or a drawer whatever we needed was there and more! The place was lovely and the furniture all top quality! Very baby and child friendly and Karen was very helpful and available. The bed was more comfy than my own bed at home! We only had a week in this place before we spent even more money to stay at a beach house in curl curl and my entire family, children, husband and my parents all agreed that we wished were still in this lovely cottage. The location was superb and so safe and secure and close to beach, shops restaurants, ferry wharf into city. Thanku for caring enough about our stay to make it so happy and memorable...if we ever return we would love to stay again...thank you and Merry Christmas.xx

Fantastic property
Manly Seaside Cottage was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 1 baby. We stayed during a rainy week in Manly, yet the house was still cosy and inviting. Perfect quiet location, with only a short walk to beach and corso. The beds and linen were super soft and the house was immaculately cleaned! A big plus for a crawling bub! Port a Cot and high chair also made the stay so much easier as we didn't have to take anything extra.
We would definitely stay again and have already recommended to our friends.
Thanks!

This is a fantastic place to stay for a family. We have been coming to Manly for a number of years and have stayed in Apartments, Hotels and Motels and this was by far the best place we have stayed. It is clean and tidy and very well appointed and is in an ideal location. The cottage is easy walking distance to Manly, playgrounds, supermarkets, shops, restaurants and cafes. Karen is extremely accommodating also. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. We will most certainly be back.

This is a fantastic house with the best location you could ask for. So close to the beach and Manly shops yet private. A large and spacious cottage well stocked with a modern kitchen and quality fittings. Recently renovated it was clean, light and had the most comfortable beds.It was nice to have a our own private rear courtyard and was very child friendly. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in Sydney.
