What performs best in Manly

Properties within walking distance of the beach, the Corso, and the harbour foreshore perform exceptionally well. Apartments with ocean or harbour views are among the highest-performing short stay assets in Sydney. Houses and townhouses in the surrounding streets attract family bookings and groups who want space. Properties with surf access — particularly near Queenscliff and North Steyne — command premium rates.

Why Guests Visit

Local attractions and demand drivers

Manly Beach is one of Australia's most famous surf beaches, patrolled year-round. The Manly Scenic Walkway along the Spit to Manly Harbour Walk is one of Sydney's best coastal walks. The Manly Ferry experience from Circular Quay is considered one of the world's great commutes and a tourist attraction in itself. The Corso, Manly wharf restaurants, and the North Harbour foreshore provide exceptional dining options.
