This place is beautiful, clean, and very charming. Everyone is very friendly; there is a great kitchen that offers a nice breakfast with homemade croissants. We even locked our keys in our room accidentally and the woman at reception readily helped us! It has a great location, and is very cozy and nice.

My daughter and I stayed in this guesthouse for 8 nights, and we couldn't of been happier. Every place we looked at before we decided on the Periwinkle, was extra for parking, extra for Wifi and no breakfast or kitchen options. Plus, the view and location can not be beat.

It's a treat to stay in such a lovely guest house, overlooking Manly Cove and close to the Sydney ferry, shopping and Manly beach with impressive surf. While Manly is a lively location, we felt secluded from the noises outside here. We have a very comfortable room and look forward to the breakfast in the morning. We especially appreciate having...

We had 5 nights at this great little guest house. Clean and comfy, the rooms are small but have everything we needed. Breakfast was a treat, lovely fresh fruit salad, juice, cereals, toast, etc, and a supply of croissants warming in the oven. Tea and coffee available in the kitchen all day. staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Nothing... More

Really enjoyed seven nights at this lovely little guesthouse overlooking Manly Cove. Clean, tidy, with free WiFi and friendly service. Just a few minutes’ walk from the suburb’s main street, with a good selection of shops and cafés, and just a stone’s throw from Manly’s famous surf beach. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

My wife and I had this place recommended to us. We booked for two nights (Sunday/Monday). The guesthouse is an old two-storey mansion overlooking Manly Cove about 400 metres from the Manly Ferry terminal. It is is very private and very quiet favouring singles and couples who are looking for a well-placed base in Manly to explore the area. It... More

This is a really lovely little guest house, I came upon it by accident after walking the Manly Spit Scenic Walkway. The location is excellent, it is a couple of minutes walk from where the ferry from Sydney harbour docks making it very convenient indeed. It is right on the (west) beach and the views from my room (room 11)... More
