General overview

One of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations is here on our doorstep. We absolutely love living here. It feels like we are on holidays permanently. Manly is a must see if you come to Australia. It really has it all so will suit all ages and interests. The ferry trip from Manly Wharf straight into Sydney’s CBD is spectacular and I recommend sitting out the front. You will not want to put your camera down! There is also free internet, a bar and snacks onboard. While the trip is a mode of transport into the city, it is an inexpensive way to see some of Sydney's famous sites eg The Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison, Green Island, Kirribilli House where our Prime Minister Lives, The Botanic Gardens, yacht races, fireworks (if you are lucky), whales ( if you are super lucky) and so much more. Trip Advisor has voted Manly as the best beach in Australia for the past few years. Whilst Manly has an amazing vibe and such a fun and beautiful place to holiday at, our apartment is located in a lovely quiet, leafy street with friendly neighbours and locals. We are so close to everything, yet a beautiful retreat or oasis for you to come back to- very much the best of both worlds.

Getting to my home

From the domestic or international airport in Sydney, you can get to our place by: 1. Uber or Taxi ( easiest - moderately priced depending on time of day) 2. Airport train takes you into the city - to either Wynyard or Town Hall Stations. Change trains to Circular Quay train station ( transport staff can help you find the right platform). Then catch the ferry directly to Manly from Wharf. Catch taxi ( short ride of a few minutes ) or Uber to our property. There are also buses - numbers 199, 166 or 167 ( located at a bus stand to the left as you walk out from the ferry terminal) that take you within a few minutes walk of our place. 3. Catch B- line bus ( yellow double decker buses) from Wynyard Station directly to Manly Vale then a Uber for a short trip to our property.

Getting around

Stay connected and explore the city with ease during your visit to Manly! We highly recommend downloading the free app 'Triplite View' to access live and up-to-date timetables for ferries, trains, and buses. Don't forget to purchase an Opal card for convenient and hassle-free use of public transport. For a truly unforgettable experience, hop on the famous Sydney ferry and take in the breathtaking views of the Opera House, Circular Quay, and Harbour Bridge. You can also choose the privately owned Fast Ferry (MFF) for a quicker ride. Buses run regularly and there's even an express service into the city. Plus, the bus stops are just a flat 5-minute stroll away at both ends of our street. If you prefer to stay local, Manly Wharf offers a variety of bars and restaurants such as Hugo's, Sake, Wharf Bar, El Camino, Queen chow, The Pavilion, and Manly Skiff Club. And with free parking available in the B-Line parking station at Manly Vale, you have the option to drive and explore the beautiful coast all the way up to Palm Beach. No matter what your preferred mode of transportation is, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. However, with so much to do and see right here in Manly, you may find yourself not wanting to leave at all! So go ahead, spoil yourself with endless choices of exciting activities and breathtaking sights. We are just a 4 minute walk to a beautiful white sand surf beach with cafes, shops and restaurants everywhere. You can walk, bus or catch ferry. It’s up to you. I swim almost every day at the beach and walk along the beautiful boulevard at the beach. Additionally, Uber and taxis are safe and readily available.

Welcome to iconic Manly Beach, Sydney! There is something for everyone to experience and enjoy here. It really is a wonderful holiday destination where you can relax as much as you like, or get active and enjoy the amazing natural and man made (eg The Opera House in nearby Sydney) sites. Like everyone on PLU we love to travel. explore and experience new, and not so new places. My husband and I are open to travel anywhere, and to return to old favourites already discovered. Our beautifully renovated apartment is located in the famous and popular Manly Beach- voted by Trip Advisor as Australia's number 1 beach for the past few years. Manly definitely needs to be shared with our travelling community! You will love it:) Graham and I will absolutely respect and care for your home as if it was ours, and know that our exchange partners will do the same for us. Happy to do sim/ non-sim and globe exchanges, as it is our very popular and highly rated AIrbnb, so we can be flexible when it is not booked. I am a nearly retired teacher and my husband is in Finance, so I am becoming more flexible with my ability to travel which is so exciting. Australia is definitely worth a visit...and Manly beach has something for everyone....have a Google and I am sure you will be booking your flights soon:) Looking forward to planning a wonderful exchange with you.
