Manly


This sumptuously decorated 1880s cottage is perched on a quiet street close to the beach and ferry wharf. The delightful host Jill only takes bookings for one or two people at a time – meaning you’ll have free rein of the antique-strewn accommodation, including many original features and a lovely guest lounge with a grand piano. Cash only.
