CLIF2 - Manly Moments | Steps Away From The Waters Edge

Welcome to your serene beachside escape. Set on the top floor of a charming early-1900s boutique building, this spacious two-bedroom apartment combines classic coastal character with modern comfort, ideal for a relaxing getaway or a productive remote-work stay.

Step inside and feel instantly at ease. The apartment features an unusually generous layout for a two-bedroom home, with high ceilings, timber floors, and sunlit spaces throughout. Both bedrooms are large and airy, and the master includes a beautiful bay window where you can wake to soft ocean glimpses and morning light.

The bathroom has been tastefully updated with a combined bath and shower, and the internal laundry with washer and dryer makes longer stays effortless. Contemporary touches continue in the modern kitchen, quality appliances, and a calming outlook toward St Patrick’s Seminary.

The open-plan living and dining area is the heart of the home, filled with natural light and coastal breezes. French doors lead to a large covered balcony facing northeast, an inviting spot to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun or unwind in the afternoon with views of palm trees, the beach, and the dramatic headlands of Freshwater and North Curl Curl. The outdoor space feels like a private coastal veranda, perfect for dining, lounging, or simply soaking up the sounds of the sea.

Original features such as multi-paned sash windows, picture rails, and the timeless façade of the five-unit building add authentic charm to your stay, while thoughtful modern updates ensure everything feels fresh, relaxed, and comfortable.

Neighbourhood Guide: Manly

Manly is one of Sydney’s most iconic beachside suburbs, perched on the northern side of Sydney Harbour where it meets the Pacific Ocean. The classic ferry ride from Circular Quay sets the tone – Manly blends a relaxed surf town vibe with a cosmopolitan edge, and its famous ocean beach, harbour swimming spots and coastal walks make it a destination in itself.

Dining & cafes: The Corso, the pedestrian strip linking the wharf to the ocean, is lined with cafes, pubs, gelato bars, fish and chips, and casual eats. Along the beachfront, you’ll find everything from surf-side cafes to fine dining at institutions like Hugos Manly and The Pantry. East Esplanade and Manly Wharf offer waterfront dining with harbour views. Tucked-away laneways hide acclaimed restaurants, natural wine bars, and specialty coffee roasters favoured by locals.

Transport & access: The Manly Ferry to Circular Quay is a Sydney classic – a 30-minute journey that doubles as a harbour tour. Faster Manly Fast Ferry services take around 18 minutes. A broad network of buses (B-Line included) runs to the CBD, Warringah Mall and the full Northern Beaches. Parking is limited but public transport is so good you rarely need a car.

Attractions & things to do: Manly Beach is the main draw – world-class surf, Norfolk pines, and year-round swell. Shelly Beach, reached by a spectacular headland walk, is a snorkelling favourite. The Manly to Spit coastal walk is one of Sydney’s best half-day hikes. Oceanworld SEA LIFE, Manly Art Gallery & Museum, stand-up paddleboarding at Manly Cove, and surf schools cater to every interest. Evenings often end with a beer at the Manly Wharf Hotel.

Shopping & daily essentials: The Corso and Sydney Road offer boutique shopping, surf stores, and a good mix of chain retailers. Woolworths and IGA supermarkets, pharmacies, post office, and banks are all central. Manly Market is a weekend highlight for produce, handmade goods and street food. Medical centres and services are well distributed across the peninsula, making everyday life effortless.
