Top Shelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Top notch service. Incredible ocean view and proximity to beach. Lots available within walking distance including short ferry to Sydney. Left my car secured in underground lot for entire stay."

Stay At Ivanhoe Apartments Manly Beach

8/10 Good

"The signage directing people to the bar to get the keys is easy to miss on the street and would be worthwhile making a statement to that effect on the booking information re key pick up."

Q Station Sydney Harbour National Park by Accor

10/10 Excellent

"multiple stays, good value, great staff, very helpful & efficient. Good rooms. Air-con would be good but not a deal breaker. Bedside reading lights with USB A&C outlets would be great."

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."

The Albert Hotel Mosman

8/10 Good

"Our stay was fine but we had no parking. After attending a wedding we returned to the hotel in the late evening and had to find street parking before heading to room."

Peppers Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, ideal position and friendly staff. Spacious rooms, modern and well maintained."

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. :)"

Beachfront Living, Manly Beach, Sydney

8/10 Good

"Old building but very convenient to all transportation, beaches,shops and restaurants.Awesome view from the balcony, but unit did not have air conditioning or screens. Windows & doors were open always, so "bird watch" was necessary to avoid cockatoos from flying in thru the balcony. Apartment was somewhat dated throughout, but was clean & comfortable for 2 people. Kitchen is not designed for cooking as fridge is very small with no freezer for ice. Was quite adequate for a married couple since bathroom facilities were only accessible thru the bedroom. Apartment has 8 steps to reach the front entrance and 8 more steps to get from the bedroom to the upstairs living area, so not appropriate for someone with mobility issues. Not fancy but we loved the view & location so we would stay again. Thanks for having us."

Boardrider Backpacker & Budget Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing service and easy check-in/check-out. Surprised I could find value this good in such a prime location. Place could do with a good deep clean though, that’s hostels though"
