Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Manly

We loved Janine and Henk's place the moment we stepped inside. The place felt like a home away from home and was so tranquil being up in the trees especially as it was raining outside. It was a short drive to Avoca Beach with amenities close by.

A wonderful stay! Super homey and spotlessly clean, plus just a few minutes walk to a really nice beach!! A great location away from the city bustle of Sydney, but close enough to visit to see the attractions and shop. Linda was very accommodating and communicative. We had a small issue with the fridge (not to the fault of the host) and her and her husband were very attentive, responsive and willing to remedy the situation. Very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice, peaceful beach getaway with some tourist visits to Sydney sprinkled in!

We had a great 3 week stay at Tom's Airbnb. It was central to where we needed to be and was very spacious, light and airy. We enjoyed the indoor greenery with the 20-plus leafy plants throughout. Loved the beautiful bathroom which is quite new, with double shower heads at each end, plus a bath. The 14 stairs at the front were a bit of a challenge, but that was all to do with my mobility issues. Tom was very upfront about the stairs, and extremely kindly allowed us to park our car next to the stairs to give me easier access. His mum Lorraine, who lives in the adjoining unit, was extremely friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for her. The front terrace was a lovely sunny spot to sit. I'm used to having a clothes dryer for ensuring fluffy towels, but thankfully the front terrace was a great area to have our washing dry on the clothes airers provided, even if the towels weren't fluffy. Whilst there was no dishwasher, it wasn't a major issue to wash up by hand.

Amazing place! Beautiful view, spacious bedrooms and living area, and private. Lee was very responsive and accommodating.

We both enjoyed our time at Ettalong the cottage is close to the beach and local restaurants, it has a warmth and charm that is very relaxing. Emily gave us a lot of good local tips and Phil helped us with a key issue.

We had an amazing stay at Halina’s! From booking until the end, Halina was very helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries. The place is absolutely stunning :)

Beautiful place, in a great location! The garden was a highlight on warm days. Loved the touches like bread in the kitchen and books to read. Comfy beds and all round a lovely stay. Great neighbourhood with crown street a few blocks away and for hyper local we loved St Jude’s for coffee around the corner.

Had a great stay at this lovely spot in Ettalong Beach. The place was bright, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable break. It’s in a quiet area but still close enough to walk to the beach and grab a coffee. The check-in was super easy and the host was really helpful. Would definitely book again next time I’m in the area.

Delia’s style makes her apartment in Woolahra an exceptional place to stay. We felt like we were in a home. The kitchen is perfectly appointed, everything you could want is provided, and the decor is stunning. Little touches like tissues and mirrors make all the difference. It’s so easy to get the bus from right outside, and the wine bar and restaurants in the area are great. Make sure you bring ear plugs though - the road is busy and the windows don’t block any sound at all.

This is a perfect apartment for exploring Sydney. Great location with access to running, walking, and everything in the CBD. And fantastic access to ferries and all other public transit to explore the rest of Sydney.

Donna was the perfect host who went over and above with everything you could think of! She even left us generous Easter gifts and hot cross buns. Highly recommend

A very comfortable unit. Has everything you are likely to need. Easy access to Sydney City attractions and airport. Very convenient to restaurants, cafes and supermarket. Will likely stay again.

Great location and beautifully furnished!

My stay was amazing. The location of this unit is perfect if you’re looking to get the full Bondi experience. The unit itself was perfect for a solo traveler like myself. It had everything you need and more.

Lorna was absolutely lovely and so helpful from start to finish during my stay. This home is just lovely, with everything you need and in such a great central location. Super quiet and a super comfy bed. Will definitely return!! :)

Luana was a great host and responded to queries and requests clearly and with flexibility. The unit was great and had everything I needed during my stay. The place could definitely be showcased better as In my opinion it looks better and more spacious in person - which was a delight to find out. It was also located in a central location with shops very close by! and access to secured parking was an added bonus! Overall, I had a very good stay and would definitely book here again in future. 5 stars! :) - Brandon

Great place and great host. Place good for catching train and has a lot of local shops nearby. Good for when travelling around Sydney. Host was quick to reply and always helpful. Would definitely recommend!

The location, the view and the sound of the ocean waves made our stay in this apartment a wonderful experience! We had no trouble communicating with our hosts, who were nice and helpful! We can only recommend the apartment for future guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alan’s place. He is a great host, provided clear instructions on how to access the property and helpful guide book once we had access to the place. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend Alan’s place if anyone is looking for a temporary stay in Dee Why.

Penny’s place was the perfect place for our family holiday in Coogee. Watching the sunrise over the ocean each morning from the comfort of the sofa was my highlight! The apartment was clean, organised and had everything we needed. I appreciated having plenty of towels, beach toys, tennis rackets and the laundry detergent (all things we didn’t have with us as we’d travelled from the UK). The kids loved the cave room and all the toys. The apartment is quiet and cosy, a really peaceful place for a break. Penny was helpful and responsive but gave us privacy. We loved it and really hope we can visit again one day soon.

There’s little else to add to all the glowing reviews of this comfortable stay at Whale Beach. We stayed here with our young son for 6 nights and it was a lovely home away from home, in a space with both character and all modern conveniences, in a beautiful corner of Australia. It’s one of the most memorable stays we’ve had on Airbnb.

The apartment was spotless, had everything we needed & the location was perfect, so central. It also felt as if we'd found a slightly hidden gem right in the heart of the CBD. Sharon was more than helpful when we asked if we could drop our bags off earlier. A very welcoming host.

Amazing view, great location for walking to shops/ beach/ Brontë walk. We just loved our stay. Apartment was super clean.

Very beautiful home with the wonderful views!
