Loved our stay. Absolutely gold having a car park spot and air conditioning. Janes communication was always quick and really helpful.We loved the quiet location as well.
Very helpful and welcoming. Jane and Graham were lovely hosts. We enjoyed our stay. Great location. Comfortable house. Certainly recommend. And we will be back too.
We had a great stay here. The apartment is lovely and has everything you need. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy and the whole pace was immaculate. And an easy stroll to the beach which is a perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend this place.
We had a great week stay in the apartment good size,very clean and a great location short walk to beach.Jane was very obliging and helpful.Will stay again.
I was there over Christmas with my family (spouse and two kids). Apartment was within walking distance to the beach, playground and grocery store. It was well equipped with cooking supplies and everything you need for the beach, including a sun shade!. Hosts were extremely responsive. It was a great apartment for a great holiday.
A lovely, cosy two bedroom apartment located in a quiet street was perfect for our stay. Apartment was exactly as described. Everything worked and check in, communication and checkout were a breez. Would stay there again, no problem. Thank you Jane for a lovely stay.
The property is just perfect. It's cozy (small), but extremely comfortable and very well appointed. The check in/check out process was smooth. The property owner is very kind and accommodating. It was a complete pleasure staying at her apartment. I highly recommend this property.

Very tastefully furnished apartment that offers great comfort. The location is wonderful and the apartment can also be reached by public transport within a short time. The kitchen is great for preparing meals. The presence of a washing machine in the accommodation would have been very convenient.
Accommodation is beautiful, clean , easy instructions to enter the property. Loads of information given from jane . If i didnt know something i would just ask jane who always replied. We ate at the manly grill twice ! Would recommend for a good steak a.prawns.
We loved our time at Manly Beach Retreat. Jane and Graham have clearly invested a lot of time and energy into the apartment. It is immaculate, spacious and tastefully decorated. In fact, the pictures really don't do it justice. The apartment is only a short walk to the beach and is situated on a quiet street, with the occasional, welcolme call of some Laughing Kookaburras. Jane and Graham are the perfect hosts: unobtrusive but always available and very accommodating. They clearly care about there guests. This is shown in the detailed info pack they've put together, listing restaurants, things to do and see etc, along with their well-stocked library (included in which are a stack of guide books). Oh and there is a Harris Farms Market only 350m away, which made stocking up on groceries an absolute breeze! AND the inclusion of off-street parking alone makes this a rare find in Manly. Really, we couldn't recommend Manly Beach Retreat enough!
Great location away from the Corso bustle. Tidy, quiet and roomy. We did find it difficult to dry our wetsuits as no clothes line or outdoor area available.
Wonderfully presented, furnished and clean property, just a short walk to Queenscliff, Manly and Freshwater, located on a quiet backstreet. Perfect for a quick weekend away, but could have easily stayed for a whole week.
