The property is set up for a big group and would be a wonderful place to entertain if you had family or friends also visiting in the area. However, the rules were almost stifling. Not a single unregistered guest allowed on the property, so we couldn’t invite anyone to the home to visit us for a swim or a bbq breakfast, or a drink before dinner. The space was great, it was clean, tidy, and comfortable but the rules took the joy out of staying, of allowing us to feel relaxed in the home. We didn’t want anyone to drop in unannounced. I understand the need for rules so the house is not ruined by parties. But the way to discourage parties is also not make the house able to sleep so many. The fans work in the bunk rooms. So portable fans were found and used. The house itself is pretty, stylish, has a trampoline and great pool, two dishwashers, lots of cups, glasses, plates etc and two tv rooms so you can spread out. But I would recommend a little more relaxed approach to guests, so they can really enjoy the space.

The Manly house is spacious and clean and just a short walk down to the water and great restaurants. The management team was very helpful and friendly.
