"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 :)"

"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."

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."
