We loved our time at Manly Beach Retreat. Jane and Graham have clearly invested a lot of time and energy into the apartment. It is immaculate, spacious and tastefully decorated. In fact, the pictures really don't do it justice. The apartment is only a short walk to the beach and is situated on a quiet street, with the occasional, welcolme call of some Laughing Kookaburras. Jane and Graham are the perfect hosts: unobtrusive but always available and very accommodating. They clearly care about there guests. This is shown in the detailed info pack they've put together, listing restaurants, things to do and see etc, along with their well-stocked library (included in which are a stack of guide books). Oh and there is a Harris Farms Market only 350m away, which made stocking up on groceries an absolute breeze! AND the inclusion of off-street parking alone makes this a rare find in Manly. Really, we couldn't recommend Manly Beach Retreat enough!

Great location away from the Corso bustle. Tidy, quiet and roomy. We did find it difficult to dry our wetsuits as no clothes line or outdoor area available.
Great location in walking distance to cafes and beach.

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.
