Little Manly Cove is a great little beach for families with small children and the position of this apartment, with glorious views over the water and beach access from the bottom of the garden, is hard to beat. Little Manly Cafe is very nice for lunch or a snack and there is a playground for the kids in the parkland above the cove. The apartment is extremely well equipped and given we stayed over Christmas, we were very pleased to find it so nicely decorated by the owners. The owners also found us a cot for our youngest, which was much appreciated. Manly Wharf is a short 10 minute walk over the hill and we found it easy to catch a ferry to Taronga Zoo or Circular Quay. Coles Supermarket is in town and it pays to have a car for significant grocery shopping; however, the corner shop on Addison Road is actually pretty well stocked for essentials and a bit more. Lots of local restaurants deliver and it's easy to make use of the great barbecue on the balcony regularly. There's no pool but it's not hard to pop down for a dip at the beach, especially early or later in the day when it's quieter. Families with small children should note that there are no curtains/blinds on some of the bedroom windows so generally our days started very early (~5.30am!) Overall we had a most enjoyable week and we will definitely consider staying here again on our next holiday in Sydney.
