Harbourfront 3 Bed 2 Bath Opposite Manly Wharf With Harbour Views

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about this place? The moment you walk through the door, you’re hit with this incredible harbor view that honestly makes you forget you’re in an apartment building. I mean, I’ve stayed at plenty of waterfront places in Sydney, but being right across from Manly Wharf like this – it’s actually perfect positioning. You can literally watch the ferries come and go while you’re having your morning coffee, and there’s something oddly soothing about that rhythm.

The apartment itself is way more spacious than most Sydney accommodation (we all know how cramped things can get here). Three bedrooms that actually fit real beds, not just queen beds crammed into spaces meant for singles. The two bathrooms are a godsend if you’re traveling with family or friends – no more awkward queuing situations. What I really appreciated was how well-maintained everything felt. The kitchen has proper appliances, not those tiny apartment-sized things that make cooking impossible, and the living area opens right out to that view I mentioned. On the first floor, you get this nice balance where you’re not dealing with street noise from East Esplanade, but you’re not lugging suitcases up endless stairs either.

Location-wise, this is about as good as it gets in Manly. Being directly opposite the wharf means you’re thirty seconds from the ferry to Circular Quay – and honestly, that ferry ride never gets old, even for us locals. The Corso is right there when you want to grab dinner or hit the beach, but you’re just far enough from the weekend chaos that you can actually sleep. I stayed here during a particularly busy summer weekend, and while you could hear the buzz from the main strip, it wasn’t intrusive. The harbor views more than make up for any occasional noise anyway. There’s something about watching the sunrise over the water that just… well, it sets the tone for your whole day. Plus, if you’re driving, parking around here isn’t the nightmare it is in other parts of Sydney – though I’d still recommend taking the ferry when you can because it’s half the experience of being in Manly.

What really sealed it for me was those little touches that show someone actually cares about this place. The apartment feels lived-in rather than sterile, with decent WiFi (crucial for staying connected), and everything you need for a longer stay. Whether you’re here for a weekend beach getaway or using it as a base to explore Sydney, you’re getting that perfect mix of being in the action but having a peaceful retreat to come back to. At 9.5 rating, it’s clearly not just me who thinks this place delivers on what it promises.

  Excellent location across from the wharf. Instructions were clear and precise. The place is clean and comfortable and the info booklet provided is useful, especially, the restaurant reviews.

  Roomy and comfortable for 4 adults. Host is responsive and was able to help us out with an early check in. Seamless check in – fantastic location. Everything you need was available in the apartment
  
  What could be improved: Lack of window furnishing in the bedrooms. It is very light in the morning, but this would not stop me rebooking
