Top Shelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Manly Waves Studios & Apartments

8/10 Good

"It was a good base as within 15 mins walk of the Corso and seconds from the beach. Only gripe was that it could do with attention to decoration and sealant/fitting around the basin area but very serviceable."

Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, expensive but nice!"

Mercure Sydney Manly Warringah

8/10 Good

"The place was close to where we wanted to be with good access to shops and places to eat."

Peppers Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with a great view from the balcony overlooking the beach. A short walk the the ferry terminal one one direction and the mall in the other. The room was perfect for a couple whether you want to relax in the unit or do some sightseeing or dining."

Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay. Although the hallway carpets had abit of smell"

Stay At Ivanhoe Apartments Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Room was amazing, especially for price. Floors definitely needed a vacuum as there was sand throughout the apartment, not visible to the eye due to the flooring but had to dust off feet before hoping into bed"

The Sebel Sydney Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location in Manly with great amenities nearby! I recently stayed at The Sebel in Manly and had a wonderful time. The property is in a truly prime location! Just a heads-up for future travelers: the hotel sits right behind The Peppers, so you don't get a direct view of the ocean from your room. However, the beach is only a few minutes' walk away, where you can take in the beautiful sea views. The surrounding area is incredibly convenient. The main road is lined with plenty of great eateries and pubs. I highly recommend trying the in-house restaurant at The Peppers next door—the food there is absolutely delicious and very affordable! It does get quite busy at dinner time, so it's a good idea to book a table in advance. If you're visiting over the weekend, the Saturday Markets are just a short walk away and definitely worth checking out. A few quick tips on getting here and parking: • By Ferry: If you're taking the Sydney Ferry to Manly, it’s an easy, flat walk to the hotel that takes less than 10 minutes. • By Car: There is no free parking available. Street parking is all metered, or you can use the hotel's secure car park for around $40. Overall, it's a brilliant base for exploring Manly, and I would definitely stay here again!"

Cosy Manly Beach Hideaway

8/10 Good

"Very family friendly, especially if for young children. Great range of books and games in the cupboards upstairs.Only one bathroom did cause a few issues with 6 adults. Oven was practically unusable, fan function did not work and neither did the grill. It took ages to preheat on convection and is very old and not clean.The beds were quite comfortable, pillows very comfy. Shower very powerful - as were all the water outlets. Shower does let water out so make sure you have a towel and mat down each time it’s used as floor is extremely slippy when wet.Laundry facilities good, all simple to use.Stairs up to apartment were slippery when wet - take care.Kitchen was well stocked but crockery had all seen better days.Fabulous location but even with a parking permit be prepared to walk some distance to find a parking spot. Overall a very dated accommodation that was surface clean, convenient location and comfortable."

Manly Bunkhouse - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The host for this property made for a great stay! Upon check-in I was assisted with my luggage up the stairs, the cleaner is on super top of all the amenities, the communal lounge was warm and cozy during a particularly cold winter visit, and public transport is a 2 minute walk away. Would definitely stay again. :)"
