After staying 2 weeks, I would happily stay here again. The guest house has private rooms (single, triple, etc) and not dorms. The bathrooms & showers are shared, but hold one person at a time and are private when in use. The bathrooms are excellent, very clean, and the showers are excellent. This guesthouse seems to attract the non-party crowd,... More

Stayed at Manly Backpackers in Febuary-March 2013, and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. The place was spotless. The staff were so nice and helpful, especially the German girl who worked on reception. The beds were comfy and clean. The other guests were quiet, but that meant they weren't a bother. The kitchen was fully stocked, with a lot of... More

I stayed here three nights with my daughter as she has friends living in this area. There is not much choice in Manly. Our room is horrible, the curtains teared down, bed sheets were dirty and not ironed, bed is aged, table broken, it was so hot with no air cond but a tiny fan which doesn't even work probably,...

This guesthouse is practically on the beach front. Great little find. After experiencing a night of hell in manly backpackers I booked in to the manly guesthouse with my boyfriend. We had never been so relieved. The place is cleaned daily from top to bottom. The staff are so friendly we felt extremely at home. We had a fantastic time... More

This was a great place to spend my first few nights in Australia. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even gave us an ocean view room because of problems faced elsewhere. This place made me feel like home and welcome. Washrooms were very clean and I never waited to use one. The common areas were very clean and spacious.... More

Only stayed a week but was a fantastic place to stop, very friendly staff ,safe place to stay and a great place to meet people - and the location (being so close to the beach & accessible to circular quay) made the whole experience. The rooms were great for anyone staying on a budget with a tv and fridge and... More

One of the better value places in Manly. I would wait on going there again until there is new reception staff. In my amateur opinion she is a borderline DSM IV Sociopath. When the staff at your accommodation say to you "I don't want you to think that I threw your food out because it was you" you better start... More

I arrived a few days ago, staff are very helpful, everywhere is clean and showers are spot on! Everybody staying here is friendly and you can get a good nights sleep. I hope to stay for a few more weeks ! No regrets!!

Melissa and Stephanie who run this lovely guesthouse are themselves the warmest people you could ever meet. Therefore when you enter the place, straight away you feel relaxed, respected and it's easy to feel a kin to the whole environment. The rooms are well priced for what's included. We found everyday, the amenties to be of the highest hygenic standard.... More
