Luxury Family Escape | Sauna, Harbour Views & Walk to Everything

The Harbour Retreat listing in the heart of Manly. Wake to sparkling harbour views before strolling to Manly's famous beaches and cafés. Spend lazy afternoons entertaining across three outdoor spaces, unwind in your private sauna, and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit beneath the stars. Designed for families and friends travelling, this beautifully appointed home combines the privacy of a lux residence with the convenience of being just moments from everything Manly has to offer.

Recently renovated bathrooms, a large king room with an ensuite and a very large walk-in wardrobe, and three queen-sized rooms. Access is via lift to both levels or by walking up the steps. Double lock-up garage and two paddleboards to explore the harbour. Two large entertaining decks: one south-facing (great in summer) and one north-facing for those winter days. 4-seater sauna. All rooms are air-conditioned, with fans in each room—an incredible children's play area out the back, visible from the top deck. Fold-out lounge in the main living area. Take a minute walk to Manly Cove Beach, Hugo's, Felons, The Espy and Manly Pavilion. 5 minutes to Manly Beach and everything this part of the world has to offer.

Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the harbour, spend your afternoons exploring beaches and cafés, and finish your evenings with a glass of wine by the fire pit or a relaxing sauna session.

Welcome to Manly—we hope you'll fall in love with it as much as we have.
