Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"A very pleasant staycation"

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!"

Mosman Luxury Studio

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here. The communcation with Wayne was excellent and he was always ready to help. It is just a short walk to the ferry, which is a nice way to start the day. We enjoyed the feeling of having lived for a week in Mosman, rather than just beig a tourist. Great facilities in the apartment. The cafe at the wharf has some tasty food, just be aware that there isn't a supermarket for quick supplies just around the corner, although you can take a bus into Mosman shops. Overall, highly recommended! Thanks, Wayne :)"

Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific time even though it hailed just before our tour. Luckily it stopped and we were still able to see plenty of animals. The staff are passionate about the animals and the talks are very entertaining and interesting. It rained at the end of the tour but the tents were dry and the amenities are not far away. We heard the lions roar during the night! We woke up to the birds singing and the stunning harbour view. I could not fault it and it feels good knowing that some of the money goes to animal conservation."

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."

Ballantyne at Mosman Serviced Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Great location , lovely clean air conditioned apartment , fully equipped. Plenty of parking available with cafes and shops nearby. Great communication from our host . "

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."
