"Starehe" - relaxing Manly beach retreat

Inviting, friendly, and relaxing, this stunning 4-level Manly home is perfect for both family and friends. Perched on a hillside, it boasts breathtaking views of the beach and harbour, just 5 minutes from Manly's vibrant beaches, shops, and restaurants.

With 4 spacious bedrooms - a king with ensuite, 2 queens, and a large single/study - this stylish home offers the perfect beach holiday getaway.

We'd love to welcome you to “Starehe” – a Swahili word meaning to rest, to be comfortable. This stylish Manly beach home invites you to relax and enjoy the ultimate coastal escape, blending modern comforts with breathtaking surroundings.

A Rooftop Haven with Spectacular Views
The highlight of this four-level home is undoubtedly the fabulous rooftop terrace. With panoramic views of Manly Beach and the harbour, it’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, unwind with an afternoon cocktail, or simply soak in the scenery from the cozy lounge areas.

Lower Level:
Discover a cozy TV/living room that opens to a private backyard oasis featuring a firepit and seating area. A full bathroom on this level is perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Rooftop Terrace:
The crown jewel of the home, with multiple seating options and stunning views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The indoor lounge contains a sofa with a comfortable sofa bed for sleeping.

A Coastal Lifestyle at Your Fingertips
