5 Star Living on the Beach
From the check in process and the friendliness of your host to the Location Oriana is the most perfect of stays. The place is superb and fully equipped including beach toys for our granddaughters and you literally walk out of the front door onto the beach. The area is wonderful with great beach facilities including a secure open sea bathing area along with great restaurants and only 15 mins from Taronga Zoo by bus and Mossman Wharf for the ferry to the city. The ability to be able to sit on the veranda or in the sun room and watch the world go by whilst keeping an eye on the kids in the water some 100 feet away was amazing. We cannot say enough about Dr Helen and her family and Oriana - except we will be back.

Amazing location and friendly hosts
We absolutely loved our time at the Oriana - so amazing to be right on the beautiful beach with great cafés nearby and easy public transport into the city. Helen and David were lovely hosts, kindly taking us to the supermarket and showing us around on our first day. The property was fabulously well-suited for our three generations' holiday!

Those sunrises!
We booked the Oriana for our family to be altogether in the lead up to my daughter’s wedding. It it is so wonderfully located, right on Balmoral Beach. The sunrises every morning were magic. My daughter and bridesmaids got ready for the wedding from here and it was perfect! The Oriana is spacious, light filled with lots of different living areas that really make it a very comfortable place for a group of adults. I would highly recommend The Oriana and would love to return one day!

Fabulous location
Everything you needed was provided. This is a beautiful house with amazing views. We regretted not booking for longer than 5 days. Helen was helpful and enabled us to book in early due to our early arrival. Watching the sunrise was a highlight, falling asleep to the sound of the waves was magical. I would highly recommend this house it is meticulously clean and well maintained.

Unbelievable!
The Oriana was absolutely amazing, Helen was fantastic. Helen met us when we arrived and was ever so obliging saving us a parking spot for our arrival and to take us through the property. The pictures are stunning, however being there is even better. They sound of the beach was soothing and you could feel yourself just decompressing from the hustle and bustle by the minute. We highly recommend staying there at least once. Add it to your bucket list. We are definitely going back.

Magical location
Such a magical location. You don’t feel like you are so close to the city. Waking up to the incredible views is something special indeed. The beach is clean and popular with swimmers and runners but not crowded. Rooms are all spacious. There’s plenty of space to spread out and serve a diverse group of ages. The kitchen is well stocked. It is an older elegant home so caution kids to be careful with furniture and fixtures. There are a lot of glass surfaces/ tables I was nervous about with our active 4 yr old.

Spent every morning on the beach…
We loved this property! Waking up, pouring coffee and literally walking the 45 steps to the beach was like a dream. Sunrises from the sunroom are breath taking. This is a quiet area, but still feels lively with the beach club next door and lots of people walking and running in the morning time. Though we didn’t partake in them, there are some restaurants and coffee shops nearby within walking distance. If going to Manly Beach … the bus on Esplanade to the Taronga zoo is perfect to catch the ferry to Manly. The ferry ride back from Manly will give you UNBELIEVABLE views of the Sydney Harbour bridge and Opera House. The kitchen was fully stocked, even a bottle of wine was in the fridge and some sweet treats were left for us to enjoy. We had an abundance of space for (4) adults and rarely used the living room at all because we spent all our time soaking up the views of the sunroom. Our hosts were wonderful and so kind. We would HIGHLY recommend this property to other guests!

Amazing Experience!
We have immensely enjoyed our stay at this property . You can not get so up close and personal with one of Sydney's most beautiful beaches anywhere else. The property is so clean and convenient. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and above all the hosts, Helen and David are very lovely people. We will definitely go there again. Highly recommend it.
