VIVID Sydney catch the Ferry from Manly for best views of light show

Welcome to Our Manly Beach Retreat.

We’re so excited to welcome you to our light-filled, spacious beachside apartment — your relaxing home away from home in beautiful Manly Beach, Sydney. Whether you're here for a coastal escape, a city adventure, or simply to unwind, we’ve created a space that’s perfect for couples, families, or remote workers looking for comfort, space, and great location.

Our apartment offers the perfect balance of relaxed living and private space, with two separate bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area, and plenty of room to stretch out — no need for everyone to be in one room! With plenty of great cafe and restaurant options you might not need the kitchen, but it is fully equipped ready to go if you would like a night in.

Graham and I are committed to making sure your stay is smooth, relaxing, and memorable. If you need anything at all before or during your stay, just message us — we’re happy to help.
