Manly Bunkhouse

Manly


An easy walk from the beach, this laid-back hostel has a distinct surf vibe. High-ceilinged en-suite dorms have modern furnishings, plenty of room to move and lots of storage space, making them popular with long-termers. Private rooms (also en-suite) are a great deal. There's a surfboard rack and bodyboards and snorkels are available, and there's a top backyard with a BBQ.
