About the host

Hosted by Toni Hannaford

Host profile image
We love to travel - even if it's only a couple of hours away. We started hosting people at our own property just over 3 years ago and have stayed in both AirBnbs and Hotels overseas. I enjoy hosting so much, I've made a business of managing other peoples' properties. I enjoy seeing my guests have a wonderful holiday. Cleanliness, comfort and communication are my priority when catering to my guests. I inspect properties after they've been cleaned to ensure they meet my high standards.

Why they chose this property

The property is a well located down a long driveway away from the hustle and bustle. This one bedroom apartment with harbour views and sun-drenched balcony also includes a lock up garage. Only 350m (4 minutes walk) to Manly Wharf and The Corso. Better still, it's only 250m to Manly 16ft Skiff Club where you can spend hours eating and drinking with friends right on the harbour. Alternatively, cross the road with your esky and picnic and watch the sunset from "The Office" on Manly Cove.

What makes this property unique

This apartment has a wonderful outlook over Manly Cove. Relax on the balcony and watch the ferries come and go. Walk to the end of the driveway, cross the road and you're at "The Office". You'll find lots of people relaxing on the large grassed are along the waterfront with friends. If you're a little hungry, wander along the road to the 16ft Skiff Club and enjoy lunch, dinner or a sundowner while waiting for the sun to set.

Manly Corso is only a 5-7 minute walk away along the water. Manly Beach/South Steyne Surf Club is also very close by.
