An overall rating of “Excellent” accompanied by five little blue stars doesn’t adequately capture my experience at Manly Waves. I was looking for a room. I found a refuge. Manly Waves has soul, depth, character, charm; a story to tell…and time to tell it. A rare gem in today’s world. This space is a testament to the incredible foundation and community that Theo & his team have built with genuine care and intention over the years. Stop by. Pull up a chair. Stay awhile. You won’t regret it. ✨

This place should NOT be listed on Expedia. It is damp, dirty, and the staff won’t even get off the phone to check you in. They allow smoking, the courtyard is filthy. I found a few cockroaches and left two days early. The owner did not even ask why I was leaving.

The front desk lady at reception was very helpful . Upgraded us as we were very disappointed in the studio apartment. Perhaps they need to review what’s shown on their website Quite misleading

Kitchen is dirty. No housekeeping service at all. Sand on the bed and no one cleans at alll. Really small and dark room. The jazzui spa fan door fell out as soon as we entered the bathroom. Poor facility in the room. Charge point not working. Location is very close to beach, good location. Friendly staff but low efficiency. Won’t even stay there again!

Great location and very handy for the purpose of my visit . Check in easy , staff friendly .My room was clean and the little balcony was great with a nice outlook . Parking was good Unfortunately the air conditioning was extremely noisy which made it unusable at night so the room became quite stuffy .I found some dirty plates and a take away food container in the microwave left from a previous guest .

Disliked: Amenities
Easy check-in and space was clean, just wasn't what we were expecting (definitely should've read reviews first), very small and old, stunk like cigarettes. The guy next door must've been the manager or something, because he was chatting with a mate on the phone at 6am (which was super rude at that time knowing guests were staying next door) about seeing us on the camera. Didn't feel comfortable staying the full time, and ended up staying somewhere else the next night.

Room was ok, bedrooms were big enough and living space was sufficient. Disappointed as advertised there was air conditioning but upon arrival none of them worked, called the reception and left a message to have them come check but no response. Overall was a good location and enough space for our family of 6.
