We had an amazing time at this beautiful penthouse! It was extremely clean, well stocked, close to amenities, with beautiful outdoor spaces and gorgeous views!! Toni was very prompt in answering all of our communications and helpful with our questions. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone who is planning a holiday to Sydney and prefers a stay away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Parkview Stay

Property was just perfect for us. We have our son and his family living in Daintrey Street and were able to spend time with them and when the young ones got too much retreat to this perfect unit. It has fantastic views and everything we like in a unit. We will certainly be looking to spend a lot more time there.

Wonderful Penthouse with fabulous views and fantastic host

Just had 3 days in this lovely penthouse hosted by Toni, she was absolutely wonderful. The penthouse is incredible and the photos don't do it justice, such a great find in manly as luxury accommodation is so hard to find there. Just a wonderful find.

A Superb Apartment, Brilliantly Located

This was a lovely, beautifully presented property. It totally lived up to the expectations created on the website. All of the access instructions operated seamlessly. The apartment is clean, modern, has ultra-modern facilities and comfortable beds. It is flawlessly located with magnificent views. We would most definitely stay here again!

Amazing views, amazing host!

I cannot recommend this property highly enough. It is actually more spacious than I thought from the pictures, and the covered and uncovered parts of the balcony were very cleverly designed and both well used. I loved the idea of not being in the busy main hub of Manly, although you do have to expect a little bit of a climb up that hill. But that's ok - it helped justify the cocktails! Toni is an exceptional host and by far one of the best I've come across. She was friendly, available and very timely with her responses. If I'm ever in Manly again, this is where I'm staying!

What a lovely review Kerryn. We’re so glad you enjoyed the apartment and had a lovely stay. The trade off with the hill is beautiful views, more space, wonderful sea breezes and a diversion through the botanical gardens! We can’t wait for your return.
