Welcome to Our Manly Beach Retreat.

We’re so excited to welcome you to our light-filled, spacious beachside apartment — your relaxing home away from home in beautiful Manly Beach, Sydney. Whether you're here for a coastal escape, a city adventure, or simply to unwind, we’ve created a space that’s perfect for couples, families, or remote workers looking for comfort, space, and great location.

Our apartment offers the perfect balance of relaxed living and private space, with two separate bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area, and plenty of room to stretch out — no need for everyone to be in one room! With plenty of great cafe and restaurant options you might not need the kitchen, but it is fully equipped ready to go if you would like a night in.

Graham and I are committed to making sure your stay is smooth, relaxing, and memorable. If you need anything at all before or during your stay, just message us — we’re happy to help.

Your Manly Home Base

Our two-bedroom apartment is styled in a relaxed, contemporary coastal feel — light, airy, and welcoming. It’s located in a quiet, friendly street just a short stroll from all the best Manly has to offer — beaches, cafes, parks, shopping, and public transport.

You'll enjoy:
✅ Two queen bedrooms with comfy mattresses, quality linens, wardrobes, A/C & heating
✅ Spacious bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity storage
✅ Fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, full fridge/freezer, oven, induction cooktop, microwave, pod coffee machine & more
✅ Dining area for 5 (plus highchair)
✅ Study desk — ideal for remote work, art, or journaling
✅ Lounge with Smart TV, DVDs, leather recliner, board games, Wii console, books for all ages
✅ Free high-speed WiFi

We also offer infant-friendly amenities including a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, and even nappies — all complimentary.

Free Parking – A Rare Manly Bonus!

Forget the stress of parking in Manly! Our guests have access to a rare complimentary on-site car space — a real gem in this area. If you’re travelling with two cars, we can arrange a second permit for $30 for your whole stay (please request in advance).
* EV charging onsite $30/charge. Please pay at time of use, and arrange a time to charge with host before charging.

Relax or Explore — The Best of Both Worlds

After a big day of sightseeing or beach time, come home to unwind. Play a board game, watch a DVD, choose a movie on the Smart TV, or curl up with a great book from our collection.

Our location offers easy access to both the relaxed beach lifestyle and the excitement of Sydney city.

Just a short, flat stroll to Manly Beach, Queenscliff Beach, Shelley Beach, and the scenic coastal walk

Explore the local boutiques, cafes, and weekend markets

Dine at top-rated spots like Hugo’s, Manly Skiff Club, The Pavilion, and Felons — all within walking distance

Try kayaking or paddleboarding in North Harbour (stop at The Boatshed for coffee!)

Visit the Wormhole, a local hidden gem, and explore lagoon parks and playgrounds nearby

Wander The Corso and side streets for fun shops, street performers, and live music

⛴️ Easy Access to Sydney City

We highly recommend catching the iconic Manly Ferry for a stunning 20-minute ride into the city — with incredible views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and more.

Tip: Download the free Triplite View app to access real-time transport info (ferries, buses, trains). You can tap your credit/debit card on all public transport, or use an Opal card for convenience.

Buses run frequently to the city, Chatswood, and all the way to Palm Beach, where Home and Away is filmed! Express buses also run during peak hours. Bus numbers 199, 165 and 166 take you to the wharf. Bus Stops are just a flat 4-minute walk from both ends of our street.

After Your Adventures... Come Home to Comfort

Whether you’ve spent the day at the beach, on the harbour, or exploring Sydney’s sights, our apartment is your peaceful retreat at the end of it all.

Just park, unpack, and relax — everything you need for a comfortable stay is right here.

If you have any questions or need help with anything during your stay, please feel free to get in touch — SMS is the quickest way to reach us. We’re always happy to help.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Manly Beach retreat and hope you’ll love it as much as we do!

Warm regards,
Jane & Graham

    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.

    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.
