Freshwater is approximately 10minutes by local bus from the centre of Manly and the famous Manly Ferry Wharf to Sydney CBD.

Situated in a quiet secluded garden setting.
Perfect as a retreat getaway, as the cottage and surrounds are designed to relax and rejuvenate.
Over looking our private swimming pool, available for your exercise or relaxing dip. The pool is 38 feet long and 4 lanes wide perfect for lap swimming.

This fully self contained garden bungalow allows the traveller to Sydney to self cater with chef quality gas cook top and twin electric ovens.
Local shopping is within walking distance providing a variety of local shops, butcher, baker, fruit and veg., liquor supply and chemist.

Other options for your entertainment are also close by with lawn bowling club, the famous Harbord Diggers Memorial club with dinning and entertainment available to you the traveller.
Courtesy bus service is available to take you and bring you back, all within 10 minutes of home.

Regular bus is just 2 blocks away, with buses running regularly on the half hour to Manly and the Sydney Ferry Service.
The same regular government bus is also available to take you to any of the local beaches, all within 10 minutes of the bungalow.
The walking option is also worth your consideration as it is not far and a very beautiful option to take.

We are close to many beaches suitable for swimming, all beaches are maintained and patrolled by Surf Life Saving guards, this is also for the well being of all swimmers, always remember to swim between the flags.

Warringah Mall shopping centre is less than 10 minutes away with local bus services or again a short walk. The shopping centre is one of the largest in the Sydney, with plenty of variety for fashion, electrical, home furnishings, good food options and a lot lot more.

We would like to offer tourists a well maintained and comfortable accommodation option away from the hustle and bustle of the larger holiday centres, although still very close to all Manly and Sydney and the Northern Beaches peninsular has to offer.
