Absolutely Lovely

Such a fantastic location and the views were so lovely. The apartment is furnished so tastefully and beautifully. Fresh flowers in the bedroom was a lovely touch! We wanted for nothing and Wendy's communication was fantastic. While the trip up the stairs was a little tough at times, it was absolutely worth it and also helped with how much we enjoyed the food and drinks in Manly! :) We highly recommend this beautiful apartment!

A Perfect Apartment and a Perfect Holiday

For our friends visiting from Italy for the first time to Australia, we could not have asked for a more perfect apartment and location in Manly. Wendy was a fantastic host and the apartment was immaculate. Check in was easy and the apartment had everything in it you could want for a holiday. Our Italian friends couldn't believe the view from their windows over Manly and it was perfect for the New Year's Eve fireworks in Manly. Wendy had left champagne, beers and nibbles for NYE which was very much appreciated and made our NYE celebrations all the better. Yes, there were 3 flights of stairs to climb, but it did not worry anyone as it was well worth the view from the top. Thank you, Wendy, for your hospitality and the use of your apartment. Our Italian friends had the perfect holiday.

Great Stay, Highly Recommended!

The penthouse was fantastic, well appointed bedrooms and bathroom with a great shower. The views were amazing and it is very conveniently located adjacent the ferry terminal. Hassle free check-in/check-out and easily negotiated late check out without any additional costs. Definitely would stay again!

we like most the beach and bay view and the modern decoration of the property. It will be perfect if there is air conditioning in the two bedrooms.

Great location in Manly

Brilliant location, across the street from Manly Wharf, where regular ferries leave for Sydney. Great beaches, shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Great views from the apartment, friendly and helpful hostess. Thanks, Wendy, we had a brilliant time in Sydney!

Stairs are a killer (we are both well into our seventies)

Convenient location. Very old building. OK when you have mounted the 60-odd stairs on a narrow staircase.

Perfect Manly Stay

Had an amazing time at Wendy’s penthouse in Manly. The place was even better in person than the photos on the listing. It’s absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable. The linens and beddings, all the extra little touches and has everything you need. The bathroom is stunning. Communication and check in was a breeze. The only option to reach the unit is by stairs but it is well worth the 3 flights up. So close to the wharf to catch the ferry and close to all the shops and beach for a lovely stay in Manly. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Home away from home!!!

This was an absolutely beautiful apartment. A magical spot with views out of every window, enjoying the activities on the water. We spent two weeks exploring the Manly area and enjoyed the northern beaches. The location was great as we were close to transportation as well as the beaches. There were many nice restaurants and coffee shops close by. The apartment was well equipped and offered nice furnishings, comfy beds with quality linens. The kitchen had everything we needed to allow us to make nice meals. Loved the new modern bathroom with a large shower. We also enjoyed the spacious patio. What a great place to have lunch, play cards or read a book. We hope we can visit again one day soon. Wendy was a responsive and thoughtful host. We were able to check in early and found clear instructions. Thank you for the bubbly and the chocolates.
