Peaceful retreat in Fairlight
You have the top floor to yourself. We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing break and we weren't disappointed, it was a great base. The owner is thoughtful and accomodating and she makes a lovely Swiss continental breakfast. We didn't use the backyard area but it is a lush, green space. There's on street parking but no need to drive once there, as the beaches and restaurants are a short walk away or there are regular buses. It is not a hotel, but that said, we had an enjoyable stay and would happily recommend it.

Perfect
We absolutely loved this property. It is within a short walk of Balgowlah shops and Fairlight Beach, yet it is quiet and peaceful. Martine and Steve made us feel welcome and at home from the very beginning. We were served absolutely beautiful breakfasts each morning. The accommodation was bright, airy and a joy to spend time in. We especially liked the covered balcony. The bathroom has everything you need and more, and there is lots of space in the walk-in-robe. We could have our privacy when we wanted, and Martine and Steve were available whenever we needed anything. Thank you to Martine and Steve for making our stay so lovely!

Great stay
I loved staying at Martine's and Steve's beautiful house. The location is great, not far from Manly, the amazing Manly to Spit walk and the ferry to the city. The room and bathroom were clean, warm and comfy. Martine is very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was yum. Hope to come back soon for more than 1 night - thanks for having me :-)

Came for the room and stayed for the breakfast.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Boungainvilleas B & B. The hosts Martine and Steve were very welcoming to their beautiful home and gardens. The location is fantastic and easy to get about without a car. Public transport, both free and paid for, are available at both ends of the street. The breakfast was delicious and highlighted with homemade recipes. A definite highlight was a pick up and drop off at the ferry. Thank you Martine and Steve we will love to see you again next year.

Peaceful hideaway in Fairlight
Great property with everything you need for a no fuss stay. Impeccably clean property in a peaceful setting, well located close to a good selection of eateries and shops @ Balgowlah. Transport to both Manly (5 mins) and city within easy stroll. Owners are the most beautiful people who are happy to go beyond to help with anything. Excellent healthy breakfast and fresh coffee each morning. Nothing but good things to say about my 3 week stay here :-)
