Manly Beach Retreat-4 min stroll to beach, cafes plus rare free onsite parking!

Welcome to Our Manly Beach Retreat!

Great Manly stay

I was there over Christmas with my family (spouse and two kids). Apartment was within walking distance to the beach, playground and grocery store. It was well equipped with cooking supplies and everything you need for the beach, including a sun shade!. Hosts were extremely responsive. It was a great apartment for a great holiday.

Disappointed

The hosts were lovely & very helpful. The apartment had all that was needed. I was disappointed to see so much stuff in the wardrobes. I had nowhere to hang clothes in the smaller bedroom. Guests shouldn’t be expected to share the space with other people’s stuff. The apartment needs a declutter.
