About this property

"Starehe" - relaxing Manly beach retreat

Inviting, friendly, and relaxing, this stunning 4-level Manly home is perfect for both family and friends. Perched on a hillside, it boasts breathtaking views of the beach and harbour, just 5 minutes from Manly's vibrant beaches, shops, and restaurants. Enjoy three balconies and a rooftop terrace with lounge, BBQ, and bar facilities. With 4 spacious bedrooms - a king with ensuite, 2 queens, and a large single/study - this stylish home offers the perfect beach holiday getaway.

We'd love to welcome you to “Starehe” – a Swahili word meaning to rest, to be comfortable. This stylish Manly beach home invites you to relax and enjoy the ultimate coastal escape, blending modern comforts with breathtaking surroundings.

A Rooftop Haven with Spectacular Views
The highlight of this four-level home is undoubtedly the fabulous rooftop terrace. With panoramic views of Manly Beach and the harbour, it’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, unwind with an afternoon cocktail, or simply soak in the scenery from the cozy lounge areas.

Spacious Living Across Four Levels
This home is thoughtfully designed for families or groups, offering plenty of space to spread out and relax.

Main Entry Level:
Step through a tranquil front garden into an open-plan living area. The lounge, dining, and fully-equipped kitchen flow seamlessly onto a balcony with sea views, creating an inviting space to gather and unwind.

Lower Level:
Discover a cozy TV/living room that opens to a private backyard oasis featuring a firepit and seating area. A full bathroom on this level is perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Third Floor:
The sleeping quarters include four generously-sized bedrooms:
- Master bedroom with a king-sized bed, private balcony, and ensuite.
- Two queen bedrooms connected by a charming shared balcony.
- A fourth bedroom with a large single bed and a desk, ideal for a quiet work session.

Rooftop Terrace:
The crown jewel of the home, with multiple seating options and stunning views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The indoor lounge contains a sofa with a comfortable sofa bed for sleeping.

A Coastal Lifestyle at Your Fingertips
“Starehe” enjoys a refreshing ocean breeze, making it the perfect base after exploring all Manly has to offer. Spend your days browsing local specialty shops, tackling the surf, paddleboarding, or canoeing in the harbour. When you’re ready for a change of pace, hop on the ferry and be in Sydney’s bustling city centre in just 20 minutes.

This Manly gem has everything you need for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Let “Starehe” be your home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by Ruth

Host profile image
Hi there... I’m a marketing professional based in Sydney, recently transitioning into the short-term rental industry. I now dedicate my time to managing my own properties and assisting others with theirs.

I love travelling and getting local knowledge about the places I visit. I hope to help everyone who visits to have a truly local experience!

Why they chose this property

Out of all the beachside locations in Sydney, Manly has to be one of my favourite. I love the relaxed vibe, the choice of port or ocean, and the amazing restaurants and bars.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing with a cup of coffee or an evening cocktail on the rooftop terrace is a sure favourite. The cool sea breeze washing over you and reminding you that Sydney is a pretty special place!
