Host profile image
I’m a local Northern Beaches host and property manager who enjoys helping guests have a comfortable, easy and enjoyable stay. I take pride in keeping the property well presented and making sure guests have the information they need before and during their visit.

Why they chose this property

Balgowlah is a fantastic Northern Beaches location, close to Manly, beaches, local shops, cafes, parks and transport. It offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle while still being convenient for getting into Manly or the city.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home truly special is the amount of space and flexibility it offers for families and larger groups. Set over two levels, each with its own living area, outdoor space and full bathroom, the home allows guests to spend time together while still having room to relax and spread out.

Sleeping up to 10 guests across five bedrooms, with three bathrooms and two living areas, it is ideal for extended families or two families travelling together. The large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, while the well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, generous dining table and island bench make shared meals easy.

The location is another major highlight. Guests can walk to Forty Baskets Beach, North Harbour Reserve, playgrounds, local cafés and the Manly to Spit Walk, while Manly Beach and Clontarf are also close by. A sunrise balcony with a harbour outlook adds to the relaxed coastal feel.

Families are especially well catered for, with a trampoline, table tennis, board games, puzzles and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for children and adults to enjoy.
