A very private and peaceful setting being the highest point on the hill, enjoy the sounds of the waves and take in the sunrises over the ocean and stunning sunsets over the hills.

Stroll to over 50 restaurants, clubs, and bars, take the steps down to Freshwater Village for all your supplies; supermarket, butcher, bakeries, fish shop, bottle shop, P/office, ATM's, chemists, beauticians, hairdressers, boutiques, gift store, homewares shops, travel agents.

Pilu fine dining restaurant is directly below you and has stunning views over Freshwater Beach, the Harbord Hilton is the popular local pub.
Freshwater, I believe, is one of the safest and most beautiful swimming beaches in Sydney and also offers a 50 meter rock ocean pool, an ideal way to keep up that daily exercise. Beach, coastal headland and harbour side walks are in every direction.
No need to get in the car though there is a bus at your door taking you to Manly or Brookvale where you will find the beautiful outdoor Westfield Shopping Mall and movie cinemas. The city is a relaxing ferry ride away.

Fabulous guests, an absolute pleasure to host. Respectful, comminicative when required. Could not ask for better guests. Very happy you enjoyed beautiful Manly...
The property is very well appointed inside, with a great view of Freshwater beach and has the benefit of being walking distance to Manly but in a quieter location. Easy access to shops, cafes and beach and the provision of beach gear is a really thoughtful addition. This a very special place at one of the nicest beaches we have visited. Thanks for a great stay, we look forward to our next visit.

Hi Jeff
A pleasure to host you. Happy you enjoyed my space at beautiful Freshwater Beach and Manly! Come back anytime.
Everything about this property is great - from the well equipped kitchen to with towels, comfortable beds and bedding, a comfortable sitting area, a small washer dryer plus a great view over Freshwater Beach. Fun watching the beach activity and walking to the numerous cafes and shops. Communication with Julie was also exceptional.
Highly recommend!

The most beautiful view ever!
High on the cliffs over Freshwater Beach right next to Manly beach this place is close to it all. A close walk to Freshwater, a little longer to all of Manly, it’s all easy. Very modern and the view is not one that I would soon be forgetting. Bus stop paces away it’s an easy route. Queenscliff cafe was half a block away and a must for brekkie! Would love to stay again!

Beautiful property
Wonderful location, property exactly as in photos, perfectly clean with everything and more that you need to have a relaxed and carefree holiday. The location is perfect - Freshwater beach and Manly both equally accessible within a 10 minute walk - though worth mentioning there are lots of steps in both directions. Julie was a great host, contactable throughout and is genuinely keen to ensure her guests have a fabulous experience. We were all sad to leave and are looking forward to staying again on our next trip to Australia.

Jo thank you for being so delightful through & through, really!!!
Whilst there are a few stairs/steps to navigate on ones way home, getting to the top is always well worth it!
On the occasion when in heels I simply hail a local Manly taxis and minutes later I find myself back in my luxurious cocoon of ocean breezes & views that take that little piece of breath away, every time.....
You will not believe this view until you see it for yourself. Better than the photos! Apartment is larger than in photos too. Had everything we needed and then some. This place was absolutely perfect for our week of holiday and Julie was fabulous to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of including early checkin so we could arrive straight from the airport and a very high level of communication. We are so grateful for
this extremely relaxing week!

Lynn thank you for being such a wonderful guest in every way. I would love to have you back on our beautiful beaches one day…
We were hoping for a fantastic apartment, close to Freshwater beach, with Freshwater town and Manly within walking distance, a wrap around balcony with views over Freshwater beach, glorious sunrises and sunsets-we were not disappointed.
Top floor apartment(penthouse) with every amenity you could want, opening the sliding doors to balcony provided a welcoming breeze. Highly recommended. Thank you Julie for looking after us.
The property is beyond the description in every way. You are often disappointed with self catering but this property delivers a home from home experience which is often lacking with rentals. The comfort aspect from beds to outdoor recliners is not compromised, The equipment within the property is of a high standard and little details from beach equipment and umbrella's to Xmas decorations and napkins are not left out.
Julie ( behind the scenes) is the most attentive host ensuring your needs are met without you even having to ask.
We had the most amazing stay and miss the view and sea breeze already. I have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone.

Faultless beach side apartment -location, location, location
This property is beautifully presented, everything was quality. Host Julie obviously takes pride in presenting the apartment in an immaculate condition - clean, bright and styled with the latest accessories. Kitchen was well stocked with the most amazing view overlooking Freshwater Beach. Living room and large wrap around balcony all have the same view. Beds very comfortable with quality linen and towels provided. Julie makes herself available if required (we didn’t need her) and all instructions for access were clear and accurate. The little touches didn’t go unnoticed Julie, thank you for a wonderful stay in Queenscliff. We’ll be back!

Walking into this chic and beautiful refurbished apartment, you are awe struck by the breathtaking views from every window. This apartment offers everything you will ever need for a really comfortable and special getaway enriched by stunning sunrises, sunsets and rainbows enjoyed from the balcony. It's incredibly comfortable, perfectly clean, quiet, with a well-decked out kitchen for the chef, and a stunning waterfall shower to enjoy after a local beach swim! No complaints here and we are definitely returning !

All the comforts you need, together with a most fabulous view, makes this a special place to relax..
We spent a week in Julie’s apartment. It was comfortable and very well equipped. The views were sensational! Making the morning cup of tea while looking out over Freshwater beach, lifted the spirits and set us up for the day! Evening meals were accompanied by lights twinkling over the neighbourhood. In between, we spent many relaxing hours on the wrap around veranda, watching the comings and goings unfolding below. The stairs up to the apartment added a modicum of fitness to our week. As did the steps to the beach! Julie was easily accessible and helpful throughout. Thank you for a great stay. It couldn’t have been more like home...away!

If you have found this review you will have already seen the pictures of the property. They show it exactly how it is - a perfectly located spot with fantastic views. The pictures illustrate perfectly what to expect. The location was perfect with Manly beach 10 minutes walk away and Queenscliffe beach just down below and directly accessible via steps. Also, Julie was a great host to deal with; super quick replies to queries during booking, arrival and great local knowledge with recommendations and contactable throughout our stay without difficulties.

Julie was a wonderful host checking in to make sure things were going smoothly and having a few goodies on hand when we arrived to make our stay that much better. Will definitely stay here again!

Get out of the hussle & bussle of central Manly and retreat to this light & sun-filled private & quiet locale. Walking into the apartment gives people that WOW factor when greeted by the views.
