Portobello Manly Beach (Apartment #1)

Reviews

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Anita and Peter are fantastic hosts. The apartment was beautifully decorated and immaculate. Beds are exceptionally comfortable. The location in Manly was perfect, you can see the beach from the balcony, less than 10min stroll to the corso, and less than 20min to Manly Wharf. Loved our stay here and wish we could have moved in permanently!

• Reviewer: Jillian

  Comments: This place is a total gem! The location is fabulous in quiet area, 30 seconds to beach, and so close to all the good cafes & restaurants. The space itself has just been completely renovated and is super fresh & comfortable. The beds, towels, carpets, everything in the flat, are all really just so nice. Anita & her family are so warm, friendly, and accommodating. Amazing stay. We couldn't have been any happier.

  Comments: Great place to stay. Close to beach (2 minutes). Close to cafes, shops and restaurants and other entertainment. Uber also available in the area. Unit is spacious and comfortable. Hosts communicate very well and are very accommodating with ant issues. Parking onsite Is fantastic as you always have your space. Facilities in unit are all you need. Enjoyed our stay and would love to spend a few days again just relaxing and walking the beach etc.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: Loved the location and the spacious property. Easy to get around with ferry close by. Many restaurants, cafes and supermarket for essentials, all very close. The beach is literally short stroll away. Well appointed and tastefully furnished. We loved our week's stay and would stay again if opportunity arose. The hosts were also very welcoming and most importantly very responsive.

  Comments: Great 3 bedroom apartment on the South end of Manly Beach. Close to the Corso and an easy walk to the ferry. You can see the beach from the balcony, only a minute walk. Apartment was light and airy, and just as pictured. The common space is pretty big and very comfortable. It was just me and my wife, so we didn't use the other bedrooms, but enjoyed some extra common space. There is a washer and dryer, and a brand new gas grill on the balcony. This is the first airbnb that we have stayed in that had hotel quality beds, pillows and linens. Very comfortable. Only stayed 2 nights, but would go back for a week in a heart beat.

• Reviewer: Prina

  Comments: This apartment is stunning, well equipped, - stones throw away from the beach, shops and restaurants. Anita is a great host and will accommodate where possible and makes you feel very welcome. It was perfect for our stay in Manly and felt like home from home. Would definitely recommend a stay there if you are looking for a place close to the beach with everything you could wish for when on holiday!

• Reviewer: Pascoe

  Comments: Anita was a great host and the apartment was very clean and in a awesome location will definitely be back

• Reviewer: Timo

  Comments: We (family of 5) have spent all together roughly 2 months in Anita's apartment in Manly. We have nothing but praise about her and her husband Peter who are very responsive and willing to help when needed. Apartment was spotless and decorated with an eye for detail. Beds were fantastic and so is the location 50 meters from the beach.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: This place was just perfect for our stay. We are locals that needed a "staycation" so we know the area well, and it is in the loveliest location. Beautifully styled and safe for my 3 kids. Would definitely stay there again (even though we live only a few minutes away)!! Actually, I will definitely be calling Anita again when I have guests in town that need accommodation.

• Reviewer: Deirdre

  Comments: We had a wonderful getaway to Manly and thoroughly enjoyed Anita's place. It was in a great location; steps away from the beach. Anita was a phenomenal host and worked very hard on our behalf to work out an issue that was out of her control. We have stayed in many Airbnb places and I can say Anita is the best host we have worked with. The place was wonderful. Nicely decorated and well appointed. We loved our trip to Manly and plan to return. Without a doubt we will reach out to Anita when we plan our next trip. Thanks for everything Anita!

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: This is great apartment, one of the best I would say, and we have staying in a few different place in Manly over the last 12 months. The decor is lovely, the rooms are great and beds are all super comfy. It has a great kitchen and living area as well as a large outdoor seating space where you can see the water. Fast wifi, Bose Bluetooth, 2 smart TV's with Netflix and Spotify. In all, it's a great apartment that you could easily feel at home living in for either a short or long stay.

• Reviewer: Fiona

  Comments: The ferry wharf and all of the sights were just a short walk from the apartment. Anita's place was really big, clean, and comfortable and had everything we needed, including an abundance of linen, wifi, Netflix, and complimentary Tim Tams in the fridge.

• Reviewer: Haydon

• Reviewer: Richard

  Comments: This apartment is a very stylish and excellently kitted out. It's first class accommodation in a first class location. The Manly ferry is ideal for seeing Sydney and Manly itself has a very enjoyable spot with great facilities and relaxed feel to it.

• Reviewer: Judy

  Comments: We just had a fantastic time with 4 teenagers. Anita is a fantastic host who always responded definitely within the hour and always so helpful. You can't beat the location of Portobello, you can just walk everywhere. Beach on one end of the street and the harbour on the other, Coles only 2 blocks away. Having a garage to park the car was great as there is only 2 hour parking on the streets. So many thoughtful extras like a clothes stand, dish rack, heaps of cutlery and dishes, and of course the Tim Tams in the fridge. Everything was clean, beds were comfy. Even though there was air-cond in the living area, there was another one in the main bedroom and a heater in the living area, just to make it even more snug, along with supersoft blankets on the sofa. Loved the view from the balcony too. Just an amazing place - the best.

• Reviewer: Grant

  Comments: A fantastically located and beautifully renovated apartment close to the beach in Manly. Vary spacious with all the amenities that are needed for a relaxing stay for our family of five. Large garage and off street parking was a real bonus. Anita was a fantastic host, excellent communication and offered flexibility with our arrival. I have no hesitation in recommending this great apartment and will definitely stay again on our next trip to Manly. Thanks, Anita.

• Reviewer: Renee

  Comments: We loved staying at Anita's flat, which has a wonderful deck with big dining tables inside and outside. The apartment is well stocked with all the comforts of home, nice decor and many kitchen items for preparing meals. The location is a stones throw from the beach, which you can see from the living room, and a 10 minute walk to the ferry. The communication was great, too.

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: Perfectly situated within easy walking distance of the wharf, beaches, restaurants and supermarkets. The area was also surprisingly quiet and perfect for a family holiday. The apartment is well equipped and we didn't want for anything. I would certainly recommend Anita as a host and this apartment for anyone wanting to visit Manly.

• Reviewer: Tim & Monica

  Comments: AMAZING location, on the local-side of Manly Corso, just 50m from Manly Surf Club and 100m from Manly Cove (harbour beach). Anita made the process easy and was very hospitable. We loved our stay and hope to come back when we are next in town!

• Reviewer: Stuart

  Comments: We had a mixture of ‘first time to Sydney ‘ and ‘ been before’ in our family group. The apartment was so convenient for everything - the beach - the shops and the ferry, it couldn’t have been better. If you are on the beach and have forgotten something it literally only takes a minute to return to the apartment. We had a hire car and the large garage with electronic doors was a major ‘ plus’ as parking In Manly can be a big challenge especially at the weekend when the beach is busy. Anita has thought of everything - washing liquid - dishwasher tablets- sewing kit - ironing board - so many things that in other rentals you have to go out to stock up with a months supply that you only use for a week. Anita has it all - it’s a small touch that really raises the quality of the rental. We are definitely coming back - already booked for trip two! The first timers and the experienced visitors in our family group all have new memories to cherish of our week in Manly. Anita is very responsive and we are grateful to her for making our week in Manly so comfortable.

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: You can't beat the location! A lovely ocean view and comfortable place to stay. You are in walking distance to everything, but are on a one way portion of the street, so traffic is minimal. The place is clean and stylish. A good value for the money.

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: The department of Anita is the best of Manly, I say it without knowing the others, but I assure you that it is impossible to find a better one. Location 10, comfort 10, cleaning 10 and hostess Anita 10. I think I was clear! Thank you very much Anita, I hope to return soon

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Anita and her place were fantastic. The location was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the home clean. The washer and dryer in unit was a huge convenience for our group. Anita was very quick to respond to inquiries and worked to find a place for us to store luggage before and after our check in and out. A true five star Airbnb.

• Reviewer: Wendy

  Comments: the apartment is spacious and very clean quite location which is nice, the only down for is the bathrooms too small and needs air-cons in the spare rooms. We had a lovely time and Anita is a great host. We would stay again.

• Reviewer: Judy

  Comments: This is our second time here and it is just great. You can really relax when you know everything is perfect, not only the location but everything is clean, functional and practical, and on top of that so many nice touches like the Tim Tams in the fridge and the lovely organic shower wash and apple shampoo. Every time I see a green apple I will think of Portobello! With 4 teenagers, it is just the best place. I appreciated the garage and the extra parking spots as my kids have their own cars now and we all come together at Manly. We are making lovely memories and are already planning our next stay. Anita is an exceptional host, super prompt replies and so helpful and friendly. Everything is just so fantastic, come and see for yourself and stay as long as you can.

• Reviewer: Ivan

  Comments: A very thoughtful designed place. The vibe feels like a getaway home since its very close to manly and shelly beach (with great local restaurants) yet its sootheningly quiet. The place is only 5-10minutes to ferry wharf to the city (opera house) as well, its a very convenient.l transportation choice. Anita recommends great local places and was very responsive before, during, and after the stay. There are plenty of house utilities as well so you dont have to worry. I would definitely go back.

• Reviewer: Kylie

  Comments: We were very happy to have found such a fantastic place to stay in Manly. The 3 bedroom apartment with lock up garage so close to Manly beach was clean, bright and had everything we needed for our stay from toiletries, hair dryer to kitchen extras. The responses from Anita were quick and she did everything she could to make our stay perfect. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had a great feel with lovely furnishings and everything we needed. We had wifi, netflix which was ideal for the kids as it rained a lot and there was plenty of storage, towels, beach towels and many extras that made our stay very comfortable. I would highly recommend this apartment and we look forward to staying here again in the future.

  Comments: We had 5 nights at Anita’s place. The location could not have been better, super close to the beach and shops, and walking distance to the Manly yacht club (for the wedding we were there for). The apartment presented as described, and did not disappoint. Communication with Anita was easy and she was prompt coming back to me on queries. Highly recommend.
