Pros:

It was very close to the beach. The staff were friendly and give very helpful, detailed instructions for after hours check in’s.

Cons:

The door handle to the room was broken so it couldn’t be locked from the inside and was very difficult to lock from the outside. The room hadn’t been cleaned when I arrived; there was a muddy footprint in the bathroom and the kitchen bench hadn’t been wiped off.

Pros:

The staff were so amazing and accommodating, it is a short walk to North Steyne beach. We had to book quickly because the place we did book cancelled 20 mins before we got there. So I am very appreciative of the staff there.

Cons:

Lighting wasn't good

A beautiful beachside retreat.
Pros:

The location is amazing, just a stones throw to the beach. The reception staff are lovely and the manager gave me complimentary parking. The room was spotless and had everything we needed.

Tranquil!
Pros:

Its character, charm, relaxed feel and welcoming staff — as well as its proximity to the ocean and lots of other great Manly locales!

Cons:

Nothing in particular stood out. It was very quiet since it’s winter and off-season.
