Lovely little apartment in a great location. Bathroom was sparkling and bedrooms were great. The outside balcony was lovely as well comms with owner were easy and thorough. The only downsides were - Power took a bit to come on and some of the plates and glasses were dirty but that would have been from the guests prior, not the owner or cleaner.

We loved the apartment, this is our second visit: it is so close to all the attractions Manly has to offer, including a short walk to the beaches, the Corso and the ferry. The off-street parking is a real bonus. It is also pet friendly: you couldn't ask for better. Thank you, Susie.

Our booking process was simple and all our enquiries were met promptly. We were there for a 3 night stay and immediately felt like locals, tucked neatly behind the action! We drove from FNC NSW so were delighted to park our car in the double garage. The property was clean, spacious and well appointed. We have stayed on the beach front and the harbour side in Manly and we were so impressed with 4 Ashburner St and we will definitely return:) Absolutely best kept secret. What a gem

We stayed at Manly's Little Secret for more than two weeks with our small children. It was a fantastic stay. The location is great, close to beach and wharf and the apartment is very well equipped and beyond what we were expecting. Communication with Susie super easy. The apartment is also very quiet with a nice balcony. I can only recommend and would love to stay there again.

Very central location, wonderful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the little flat was in a good and central location so it was easy to access everything. It was lovely and clean and easy to find, although there are stairs to climb to access the flat. The owner was terrific to communicate with and generously let us arrive earlier and park our car in the garage (which is a very generous double garage size). That was a big help as it meant we didn’t waste a whole day. Only reason we didn’t rate the stay five stars (we would have given 4.5 stars if we could) was that all the pillows provided were very flat and super soft so they were not very comfy. I suggest replacing all with new and better quality ones. Also, it was quite noisy of a morning with building works on either side of the block so not so great for a sleep in. But we acknowledge that’s not the owners fault and this can happen anywhere. Anyway we really loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Great base to explore Manly

We were impressed with this cute little apartment. Very clean and quiet, even though it is very centrally located. Easy walking to almost all attractions. Garage was a bonus! And loved the air con. Modern and comfortable furniture. We enjoyed our stay, thank you Susie. One small suggestion - would have loved a bath mat :)

Location was super, one direction we could walk to the ocean beach, the other direction the harbour beach. The ferry to Sydney was only a 10 min walk plus plenty of dining options nearby. Bonus having a washing machine available and balcony to dry things.

Perfect location to stay out of the city.

We stayed here as a family to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The apartment was 5 mins or so walking distance to the ferry port, 5 mins walk to Coles supermarket, 5 mins walk to the smaller manly cove beach. It was a nice area, amazing location. The property manager had very good communication and replied quite swiftly. We travelled from UK so we kindly supplied bed linen and towels for us. It's on 1st floor with no lift so you have to be able to carry bags/ pushchairs ok up stairs. The flat itself was outdated, simple kitchen and facilities but clean. Spacious enough for a family. It did smell like dog (as it allows dogs) but we opened up windows and quickly aired out. Thanks again. Ideal location for staying out of the city.
