A Ray of Sunshine - Manly Holiday Home
Welcome to a stylish and stately holiday-home approx. 400m to the golden sands of Big Manly via a quick walkway. Your group will love this gorgeous home full of charm and elegance in a tranquil setting. Relax in comfort and beauty at A Ray of Sunshine!
Nestled amongst established trees and gorgeous landscaping around a pretty lawn, this inviting two-storied home adds a touch of class to your family gathering. Open the French doors to relax on the deck or the swing seat and immediately feel at ease. Days are best spent in this calming home around the table enjoying each others company here at A Ray of Sunshine.
The house is a cosy retreat after a day of adventures with a wood-burning fire providing warmth and delightful atmosphere.
Enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif over a game of billiards in the games room, before enjoying a meal around the large dining table in the open-plan living-dining. Enjoy the two spacious lounges while staying connected with Wi-Fi and a smart TV. With board games and books as well theres endless entertainment for everyone here!
Your accommodation sleeps up to nine adults, plus one extra child, across four-bedrooms and three-bathrooms. Bedding includes two queens, king single & king single trundler, single and child's fold-out bed. A queen-sized sofa bed is in the games room downstairs. There is plenty of space for everyone to rest their head after a day at the beach, walking and enjoying the sublime Manly Sunshine.
A carport supplies parking for two vehicles and a small boat (up to 5m), down the short driveway.
Located just five minutes walk to Big Manly Beach, or a 10-minute drive to Gulf Harbour Marina, there may be no more perfect location to enjoy this beautiful area in such a private, peaceful home.
Being on the peninsula, other beaches are minutes away. Cafes & restaurants are close by, as are supermarkets, tennis courts, golf courses, Hoyts movie theatre, Gulf Harbour ferry & Shakespeare park are right on your doorstep. Silverdale is not far away with shopping, Snowplanet & the Auckland Adventure park.
With other beaches nearby such as Red Beach and Orewa, this is the perfect urban hide-away from which to explore the north Auckland coast.
Your experienced host has enjoyed welcoming families to their home for many years, and you are sure to want to return. A Ray of Sunshine welcomes you!
