Waterfront vacation rentals in Northern Beaches Council

Stunning views and a beautiful spacious home within easy walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shops and Q Station. Peaceful and clean. Thoroughly recommend a stay here!

I had a great stay at this apartment! The location is perfect—close and convenient to both the city centre of Manly and the beach. The self-contained apartment had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, though it’s worth noting it doesn’t have an oven or air fryer but it had a microwave. I especially appreciated the secure building and access to the gym and sauna, which were great bonuses. Would definitely stay again!

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, literally across the road from the beautiful manly beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is even better than the pictures, extremely spacious and comfortable. Also very easy on the eye with designer furniture. Zoe went above and beyond as a host when we left a soggy wetsuit behind and she posted it back to us. Would definitely re book. Thanks Zoe

This property is a gem! The location was very convenient as it was a quick walk to the ferry wharf and down to circular quay. the property was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed breakfasts on the balcony while taking in the awesome waterfront view. Malia was quick to respond to questions we had during our stay. I would definitely recommended this property and book it again. Thank you Malia.

This is a great location and beautiful apartment. Toni was very responsive and helped with all of my questions. I would definitely rent again, it was a great stay!

We enjoyed staying here very much. The apartment is very comfty and very nice located between the two beaches at Manly. Safe and very nice neighbourhood. We also loved the cafes around the corner very much. Very local and very close to Sydney downtown by ferry. Since we do lots of sports this is a very good location and base. Highly recommended

Surfways Manly apartment is absolutely wonderful! A perfect spot for two people to enjoy all that Manly offers. It was the perfect home away from home for my husband and I to spend a month there. The apartment is beautiful and modern. Everything is at a high quality and Robyn has kitted it out with everything a guest could need. The building has an incredible location (and views!) right across the street from Manly Beach and is walkable to everything. Lots of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We really appreciated how there were kitchen and bathroom supplies provided for our long stay (like coffee pods, plastic wrap, salt/pepper) and there were even snacks/drinks that welcomed us! Robyn is an incredibly thoughtful and friendly host who made us feel so comfortable throughout our stay. She was always responsive and would check in to see if we needed anything. Many thanks, Robyn, for your warm hospitality. It was so hard to leave! Highly recommend and we hope to return!

The home was everything we hoped for and more! Hugo’s hospitality was exceptional—he made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The location is unbeatable: right across from the ferry and in the heart of Manly, with everything just steps away. It was the perfect stay, and we’ll definitely be back! If you’re considering booking this Airbnb, look no further, it’s everything you’re after I assure you!!

Roslyn is the perfect host. Always responsive and supportive. We are a small business and Roslyn was absolutely fantastic with us. Our crew worked nights which require them to sleep during the day and the surroundings of this beautiful place were exactly how she described which made our stay so special and peaceful. Thank you so much Roslyn for being so accommodating and welcoming 😌

We had a lovely stay at Amanda’s house in Manly. Unlike many Airbnbs the photos don’t always match the actual accomadation but Amanda’s house in Manly actually looked even better in real life. Amanda herself was an excellent host going above and beyond to check us in, giving us local tips and was very friendly. Our children thoroughly enjoyed reading the books and playing with toys (thank you). It’s a short walk to the beach and wharf so you’re really close to all the restaurants without being in all the noise and hustle and bustle. We would have no hesitation recommending Amanda and her house. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Amanda for creating such a lovely experience

The location is amazing. It’s an authentic beach house. One bathroom is outside which was a bit inconvenient in the weather but all in all a beautiful holiday house. Decor is better than most Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. It was good being met at the house to collect the key. Elyse from Palm Beach Holiday Rentals was very friendly and helpful. She showed us through the house, help set up the internet on our phones & brought back extra floor towels so that we could dry off and not get water in the house.

We had a fabulous stay here, the house is stunning and location is so peaceful. Beautiful view out of the balconies. The house had everything we needed for a big group - it has plenty of space, great layout so all of the bedrooms still felt private. Great recommendations for things to do when we arrived too. We particularly enjoyed going out on the kayaks! Lots of beautiful beaches nearby, the closest grocery store was just a few minutes drive. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Thank you so much Marjan, Jo and Leah. We had a wonderful stay in your cottage. It was very easy to access, comfortable for the four of us and it's in the most beautiful waterfront location! Would definitely recommend to other guests!

Paradise found! Alison was the most gracious and accommodating host. The place itself was heaven! So peaceful and relaxing looking out over the water from every room. The fireplace was a highlight as were the views. This place is a true gem and we felt very lucky to have been able to stay there. The kitchen is well equipped and the wine fridge is perfect for those who don’t want to cart their own up the steps. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet and cosy place and love being by the water this place is for you. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay — the perfect getaway from the city. The place is surrounded by nature, full of peace and quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The photos truly don’t do it justice! Everything is well taken care of, clean, and thoughtfully designed with lovely details. There are also plenty of water activities to enjoy, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. You can really feel the love that went into creating this space. It helped us disconnect, recharge, and truly relax.

A beautifully decorated cottage, well equipped kitchen and outstanding location. We loved jumping off the jetty into the water, meeting all the local dogs, and having wine and cheese on the deck at sunset. We’ll be back!

We enjoyed staying at this place . Felt super comfortable with the ambience , ease to reach places and above all there are ton loads of options to eat , visit. In my opinion worth the money spent.

I was in town working on a film, Victoria is amazing and The Place! Gorgeous..you get your quiet beautiful view of the ocean and surfers. You can walk over and have a delicious meal or cocktail. I hope to come back, beautiful stay.

Great spot. Very spacious and hosts were very communicative and responsive.

This Airbnb is a perfect location for seeing Sydney. You can connect to any part of the city from the bus stop adjacent to the rental. The rental itself was great - everything was clean and the rental was well equipped with everything needed for a week's stay.

My wife and I stayed a week, and really enjoyed the stay. The house works well for a couple. We especially enjoyed the open living room, kitchen and dining room. The deck was wonderful too. The area was quiet at night as well. The view is fabulous and is the house's best feature. Even on a rainy day it's still lovely to stay inside, drink some coffee and read (as well as take in that view). We enjoyed walks around the Potts Point neighborhood, and it's a nice walk to the Wooloomooloo Wharf, RBG, the Art Gallery, and the Opera House/Circular Quay. There are a couple of fans, but during the mid-summer months heat might be an issue. During our stay the temperatures were moderate, and just opening the windows to catch the breeze made the house comfortable. The host was first-rate: attentive, friendly, and responsive. Thanks.

Great space, great location. Will definitely be back!

The property was great and the cleanliness was impressive. I had a wonderful time and would definitely consider booking it again in the future.

Great place in an awesome location. Extremely easy instructions for getting in, clear and helpful instructions in the apartment. Views are amazing and the apartment is extremely well equipped. Perfect for our family stay over the long weekend.
