The Sebel Sydney Manly Beach

Excellent location -- handy for beach, walking, ferry, shops and restaurants. Would be ideal for the jazz festival. Only a stone's throw from the beach, and the sight of the full moon rising over the waves was lovely. The room was spotless and quite large, and very comfortable.

Although the room was "oceanview" it's more accurate to describe it as "pine tree view with ocean glimpses", as there is a row of large pine trees running the full length of the beach. This of course is not the fault of the Sebel. I knew about the trees so was prepared, but it could come as an unpleasant surprise to someone expecting full unblocked views of water and beach! Oddly, none of the ceiling/wall lights seemed to work, though all lamps did.

We had a wonderful stay and were very lucky to be upgraded to the Penthouse 2 bedroom apartment- it was great for a girls weekend with all the luxuries a self contained apartment, 2 bathrooms, very comfy beds and pillows and a wonderful ocean view with whales playing out to sea- wow!!! Great location, very friendly staff- Thankyou.

Having to go home.
