Having finally got the opportunity to travel interstate after lockdowns for the last two years we chose to go to Manly!
Manly Surfside Apartments - Bella Vista was exactly what we needed, clean, awesome location, friendly staff, beach views and surf!
From the minute we arrived the staff at Manly Surfside made everything a breeze and within no time we were checked in and ready to explore.
What a location! Beach front at its best, multiple food and bar options within a moment’s walk. Activities galore and ferry opportunities to shoot into the city should need be.
Bella Vista is where we want to be! A big shout out to the team and thanks for make our stay so easy and memorable. Couldn’t fault this location, hospitality and will definitely be back!

I rented the 2 story penthouse for 3 days for my family. From the moment we checked in it was not a great experience. After giving them all my credit and address information to book the apartment, I had to refill ALL the info again on a checkin card.. Small detail I guess. Then after we got the keys I asked for the password for the wifi that was supposed to be included, as per the 2 conversations that my daughter and I had when booking the room. They advised us there was no password, we had to BUY the wifi as it was NOT included in the price. So I guess that my daughter and I were both mistaken on two separate calls, one from Australia and the other from Canada. At that time we were also given a parking space number and very vague directions as to how to get to the underground parking. After circling the block twice, I got out of the car and walked down the street with the remote and started trying it on the garages until I found the proper one. We then get into the garage area and the number for the parking spot is non-existent. So... we park in an area that is marked with a different number. We then proceed to the apartment, with absolutely stunning views, and read the laminated guest information card. It says on the card, if you need assistance just pickup the phone and dial 9. The problem now.... no phone!!! So my daughter calls the number that we used to book the apartment, with her cell phone, and they advise her that where we are parked is not allowed we have to move to a spot that is NOT marked at all. I do not know if I mentioned this underground parking area is tiny and very difficult to move any type of vehicle, never mind an SUV. But move it we do. Now, what are to do for a phone in the unit??? The management company sends one up. The problem this time, no charger and the phone is almost dead and locked. Another phone call and another phone is sent up. This one is fine. I try to get onto the internet and place my credit card info online. Hit the send button and get this message. Sorry your attempt has failed, please try again. So I try 2 more times and get the same message. Enough of this. We go get something to eat. Come back 3 hours later and try to login again. SUCCESS!!! WOW finally. For those of that remember dial-up speeds, think of that only slower. Then I start getting email notifications.... 4 of them. I have been billed 4 times. 3 for the attempts that failed and 1 for the one that went through. 1 hour on the phone and 7 emails later, I am finally connected to someone that can issue the credit. This is all in the first 4 hours. The place needs to be painted as the walls are all white and there are black marks all over them. Other than the absolutely fantastic views and the great location, there is not much else to say positive about this property. Manly Surfside Apartments specifically and Australia in general need to get into the 21st century on internet and wifi technology.

Good things first: the 3br apartment I rented was absolutely beautiful - lovely modern furnishing, clean and with two great balconies. It didn't have the fabulous view of the balcony on the website, though (picture attached), but it was still quite a nice place to sit and write. The kitchen contains all the cutlery (8 sets of everything) that you'd need and the bedrooms would comfortably sleep 7 people (2 doubles, 3 singles).
Unfortunately, I found this property a bit lacking and here's why.
First of all, I stay in a lot of serviced apartments, and the services you would expect were not included. There are signs everywhere saying that you are responsible for your own garbage. Yes, that's right, you are required to lug your garbage bags downstairs in the lift and throw them in the dumpster yourself, or you will be charged a 'departure fee'.
Secondly, there are no toiletries in the bathroom. This is even more of a problem when you realise that the closest Coles is 20 minutes walk away and after a long flight in, I really didn't feel like leaving the house AGAIN to go and get shampoo and conditioner.
Thirdly, there are no coffee/tea/sugar sets that you normally see in the kitchen of serviced apartments. Again, these are things you will need to lug home yourself from Coles, and if you're staying for 3 days like I was, you'll end up throwing out most of them (I did consider leaving them for the next person, but was worried I'd be charged that 'departure fee' if I left 'rubbish' anywhere.
The bedrooms have no aircon. This may not be an issue most of the time, but one of the days I stayed here it was 42C. Even with the overhead fan it was VERY stuffy in my room which was quite a long way away from the living room where the aircon is. It made for a sleepless night. My friend was sleeping in the bedroom off the living room and left the door open and didn't have the same problem.
Aircon aside, it would be no bother (and not very expensive) to include these little conveniences (like getting the cleaner to throw out the garbage for you, and having toiletries and tea/coffee available), and I don't understand why the choice wasn't made to include them, except for extra cost-cutting, maybe? That doesn't seem very 'luxury' to me.
So while the apartment is beautiful, I'm not really happy with how it's run. I probably won't be staying here again.

Room Tip:Ask for an apartment on the front of the building so your view isn't mostly other buildings.

This was booked via the HomeAway website- we spent hours looking at photos of many properties in Manly and eventually picked Manly Surfside as we wanted a large terrace with Ocean views.
Unit 5 and 8 are 2 bedroom apartments and do not resemble the photos at all. The units are tired with stained carpets, tatty fixtures & fittings and could do with a refurb.
There slight views with the 2 bedroom units and not the big balconies as advertised.
The air on unit in the master bedroom was an eyesore with glazing held in place with duct tape. There was a bucket on the balcony collecting drips that continually overflowed, and no one emptied despite many requests
Loved the location though and Manly itself

Great location, lovely spacious apartments with everything you need however both bedrooms in No. 5 had bed bugs. I did not realise at first what was causing us all to be absolutely covered in bites until I stripped the beds to check for bed bugs and there they were. They were also in the carpet in the second bedroom and managed to get into the cots of our 2 year old twins who were both badly bitten. Bella Vista gave us a new bed however denied that there was a problem. We asked for them to arrange for a pest control company to come in and treat the problem but this never materialised and we left after 2 days as we could not stand it any longer

We stayed here and booked to stay in the Standard apartments, we saw these to be fit after looking at the photographs and the cost on the website. But when we arrived we were disgusted. The apartments were dirty and hot, although the lounge area has air conditioning the upstairs had nothing but two floor fans. The theme of the apartment was a drab green with dirty green carpets and the windows didn't even have curtains or proper blinds which made sleeping a nightmare as there was an outside light directly opposite the window. The beds were un-comfy and the two single beds had bugs in them that even after being sprayed with lots of bug spray still managed to bite in the night. The shared bathroom was falling apart, half of the shower door was missing, the bottom of the door was coming up and there was tape on the bath to cover up marks - disgusting and unclean. Even the kitchen area had bits peeling off the covers of the cupboard doors and the insides of draws and cupboards were dirty. These apartments did have Wifi that was very expensive. The cost of this apartment - due to its location (just off Manly Beach Front) was around 300 and something GBP per night and this is an outrage considering what is actually in the apartment, the only good area within this apartment is the lounge area. I would never stay here again, and I would certainly not recommend the standard "3 Star" apartments to anyone. Disgusting.

I have never written a negative review about anything in my life but feel compelled to do so after my experience today.
The apartment complex is NOT as advertised. Management attempted to check me into a building at a DIFFERENT ADDRESS (and most certainly not on the beach, as they originally claimed) to the one advertised online.
All the photos used online are from a DIFFERENT PROPERTY to the one they attempted to check me into.
The person I spoke to was rude and insisted this was the property I had booked despite me insisting that, without ambiguity, this was not the address advertised.
The apartment itself was far smaller and pokier than that advertised online. And there were no beach views as per the advertisement because the apartment was NOT on the beach.
I did not even check in. I returned the keys and my family and I drove home, our weekend ruined.
I have demanded a full refund and will take further action if required.
Avoid at all costs.

We stayed here for a wedding which reception had been advised of at the time of booking. The woman on reception mentioned this when we checked in so she was clear on this fact.
On arrival we were put in a room in the riviera apartmens that was horrible and dark and nothing like any of the photos.
After requesting a room change we were told that there was no guarantee on what room you received (fair enough but a true representation of the apartments overall should be put on their website - not just the best apartments - clearly it can be hit and miss all for the same price). She also said it depended on whether another one was clean. Shortly after, cleaners knocked on our door and showed us into another apartment that was much nicer and looked just like the photos.
We contacted reception and asked to be changed to the other room. She told us that we would have to come back to reception (which was about 3 blocks from riviera apartments and at this stage it was pouring rain). She would not let us simply exchange keys with the cleaners who had keys.
When one of us went down to reception (drenched from the rain) the group was then called again and advised that only one key had been taken and they required both keys and that someone else would need to come down (in the rain) with the second key. At this stage the manager had walked into reception and said he was coming by riviera apartments and would drive my friend back to us with the key and exchange the other key. He said that had they known it was for a wedding they would have put us in a nicer room - which clearly the other woman did and hadn't done this.
The woman on reception then told us that "we had better not have messed anything in the other room" as people would be checking into it the next day.
Overall the final room we stayed in was nice but the customer service on the part of the employee in reception was terrible! I would not stay here again due to the inconsistency in the rooms and the risk of getting a bad one and due to the very rude attitude of customer service.

If you want a busy Sydney beachside apartment this place is perfect.
Rooms were generous in size and tastefully decorated. Although the bathrooms were a bit cramped, the shower was an over achiever - no lack of water pressure on the third floor here..
Location could hardly be better if you're looking for an accessible Sydney beach suburb with all the amenities. Plenty of good dining right down the street, and, as a former resident of the area, the backpackers tend to be better behaved than down at Bondi.
The one major grips was noise. Every morning between 6am and 7am a garbage truck parked across the street to deal with rubbish from several cafes. This involved leaving the truck running and unloading bins for about 15 minutes. Via some acoustic accident the noise levels inside our apartment were deafening and never failed to wake up the entire apartment including those in the bedroom farthest from the street. So no sleep-ins for us. I don't imagine all apartments have this problem but be wary of those with windows facing Pine St.
To cushion this somewhat the mid-week prices were a bargain - but I probably would have been very disappointed with the noise if I'd paid full price.

What a beautiful apartment. One of the best our family has ever stayed in. Very, very nice. When you open the door it is a stunning view across to the beach. Would definitely stay here again. We stayed as a family of 5 (3 teenagers) and they ALL were impressed. I find motels do not cater for families. This was so much better, loads more room, full kitchen, laundry and probably the same as the cost of 2 motel rooms (which we would of had to have). The apartment was clean. Only thing if I had to nit pick, there was no power point in main ensuite(couldn't blow dry hair in there) Balcony setting was dirty (but I soon fixed that) maybe a privacy screen on north side of balcony as neighbours have no curtains. Staff were very helpful our Colorado couldn't fit in the allocated lock up car space, so staff disconnected the automatic door so we couldn't accidently close door on car or wreck the door. We loved every minute we had there.
