The property has a lovely setting overlooking the bay. Ideally suited for our purpose of having the family reunite from all corners of the world with a perfect small garden for the kids to romp in. Excellent and comfortable accommodation with all the comforts of home.

Beautiful apartment - unusually, it is as good as, if not better than, the pictures. It is a great size, well equipped and perfectly maintained, and the outdoor area is fantastic for a bbq or just relaxing.
Jan was very helpful and friendly, and we definitely hope to come again next year.

Just perfect !! This is a beautiful apartment with stunning views. A few steps away from the delightful Forty Baskets beach and in a peaceful neighbourhood. The apartment had everything we could need for our stay and is very well appointed. The owners are really helpful and made our stay very comfortable. We have returned for a second stay and would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation.

This is a wonderfully private and well-appointed unit in a quite court with direct access to Forty Baskets Beach and walking tracks. We had a wonderful stay with our two young children. The secure grassy courtyard overlooking the harbour was a huge bonus. The apartment was immaculately clean and we felt very welcome. We would definately stay here again.

There is only one word to describe Forty Baskets Beach Retreat and that is ���amazing���. The large apartment, the spectacular views and the owners are all amazing. We were there for our daughter���s wedding and wanted a base for both relaxing and entertaining. We were not disappointed and had a wonderful stay. The apartment is beautifully furnished and has everything you need. The beach is just a few steps away and Manly is a leisurely 45 minute walk along the glorious coastline. We can���t wait to return.

Forty Baskets is a little slice of heaven. The house is just beautiful - we did not want to leave! Forty baskets beach, just a few steps away is tranquil and secluded. We enjoyed the beachside walk to Manly every day and highly recommend stopping for refreshments at Forty Beans Cafe.
Jan was a wonderful host and we could have stayed forever!

It was OK
On arrival at Beach Retreat-Forty Baskets, we immediately felt at home. The spacious apartment (more like a house) is great for entertaining and nearby harbour pool, beaches and walks provide great entertainment for older kids. There is easy access on the Manly ferry to Sydney CBD and owner Jan gave excellent advice on the best take aways and loads of other valuable local knowledge. We will definitely be returning.

This spacious apartment is immaculate and in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. There are enough activities to keep the children happy with play parks, walks and beaches at the doorstep. Perfectly placed to enjoy the food and entertainment in Manly with a quiet and relaxing base. Highly recommended for quality and tranquility.
This was my second booking of the apartment and we have booked for January again.

An absolute winner! Gorgeous and very spacious duplex with lovely patio and incredible views.
Elegantly and comfortably furnished. Every detail thought of - even a player for my ipod! Spacious bathrooms. Well-appointed modern kitchen. Comfy beds. Loads and loads of space. We were visiting family for a wedding, and were able to host a party with 25 people comfortably. Oh, and did I mention that right next to the house is a pathway to the beach and to miles of hiking paths? Also great for kids - the patio is secure, and beach toys abound. Couldn't have been happier. Just wished that we could have stayed longer.

This property is lovely . In the morning you wake to the beautiful view across to manley then you can walk down the steps and go for a swim in the safe swim area or just fish of the wharf. A walk along the beach to a barbeque area and then a coffee shop( 10 mins) or the other way to find a lovely cove.
It is 20 mins from the CBD or 5mins to Manley and all its restaurants or the ferry over to the quays.
The apartment itself is set up to enjoy the views of the bay either from inside or on the small garden area which has table chairs and bbq for you to enjoy.
Inside the apartment it is furnished to a high standard with 2 bedrooms and also has facilities for children to stay aswell( cot / put u up bed)
Jan and her family are very nice people and helped whenever there was a question or request .
I hope to return here next year and enjoy a very relaxing luxurious stay.

My wife and I stayed over the New Year �08 and had a fantastic time. The apartment is much bigger than I expected, decorated superbly with views to die for. Forty Basket beach is lovely and only a couple of minutes walk from the apartment.Jan the owner was lovely and extremely helpful and despite living upstairs left us to our on devices. The garden is great with a BBQ with plenty of room to invite friends over for a drink in the evening.The only downside is that it is a bit of a hike to get to Manly (about an hour walk), but as you are walking along the beautiful coastline who cares!If you want the hustle and bustle of the centre of Manly this is not for you, but if you want some peace and quiet and to be a short cab ride into town - you can�t go wrong.

We came to Australia to visit our son and meet our new grandson. It was a very special time and staying at Forty Baskets made it extra special. A very spacious well equipped apartment with a lovely outdoor space and the view was just spectacular. We were very sad to leave.

What a beautiful apartment!
From the minute we arrived to the time we left the hospitality was superb, we could not have asked for a more luxurious and spacious home.
Our host was very accommodating and very kind. We were over in Australia for our son and daughter in laws wedding and this beautiful home complimented the occasion, and made everything more enjoyable.
Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

This house has everything!! The view of Manly will leave you speechless, the lullaby of the waves will be the only noise that you will hear in the night, with a few steps you will be in one of the most beautiful and quiet beaches of Sydney and if you like to walk you will be just in the middle of the scenic walk that goes from Manly to the Spit bridge. But this is not all... the house is roomy and furnished with style, the garden is a perfect size for a bbq or a play area ( I was there with my two little sons) . And last but not least the owners of the house are so nice, kind and lovely that you will make new friends.
We spent a full month there and wished we never had to leave!!!

This is such a surprise - a super luxurious ground floor house size apartment right on the water with a stunning views amidst multi-million dollar homes. We have two kids - they loved it here too - Jan, the owner lives upstairs and was a brilliant host, giving us tips on restaurants and baby sitters. What a gem - we are recommending this too all our friends and so will you.

A lovely spacious apartment with outdoor barbeque area and fantastic harbour views, close to everything - surf, shops, ferries, the city, and a short walk to harbour beaches. We hated leaving and would happily stay there again anytime. A great spot.
