Esplanade Escape, Manly I90 | Apartment in Manly

What We Love
Esplanade Escape is a beautifully renovated one bedroom, one bathroom apartment on East Esplanade in Manly, Sydney, with harbour views to the Heads from floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. It sleeps 2 guests in a queen bedroom with ensuite, with air conditioning in the bedroom, ceiling fans, a full kitchen with dishwasher, an internal washing machine and an all-day Manly parking pass. Manly Wharf is about a 3 minute walk away.
It suits couples wanting a relaxed harbourside base, solo travellers and corporate guests needing wifi, ethernet and quick ferry access to the CBD, and longer stays, with a full kitchen and laundry.
Living & Entertaining
Harbour views frame every moment, shifting from soft morning light to the golden glow of afternoon. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge flows directly to the balcony, your go-to spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening drinks as ferries trace paths across the water below.
Sleep
The bedroom wakes to natural light and harbour glimpses, with a queen bed and direct balcony access. The ensuite has quality fixtures. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan keep the room comfortable, although the coastal breeze often makes cooling unnecessary.
Kitchen & Laundry
The kitchen has clean lines and integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave and dishwasher within streamlined cabinetry, plus a toaster and kettle. An internal washing machine makes longer stays easy.

The Neighbourhood
- Manly Living: Manly sits in that rare spot where harbour meets ocean, with two distinct beach experiences minutes apart. The ocean side brings surf and early swimmers, while the harbour side offers calm water for paddling and floating. The Manly to Spit Bridge walk starts nearby, winding about 10 kilometres along clifftops and through bushland, past hidden coves and lookouts.
- Dining & Coffee: Vini's Cafe and Barrel One Coffee Roasters are local favourites for morning coffee. Garfish serves fresh seafood with water views, and Felons Brewing Co at Manly Wharf pours craft beers. For dinner, Hugos Manly offers refined harbourside dining, and Fratelli Fresh brings easy Italian plates.
- Beach & Shopping: The Corso links the harbour to the ocean beach, with surf brands, homewares and coastal fashion in the boutiques along the surrounding streets.
- Day Trips: The ferry to Circular Quay takes you across the harbour to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the city's dining precincts. The Blue Mountains are about two hours inland for dramatic scenery, bushwalks and mountain air.
Manly Wharf is a short walk away for ferries to Circular Quay and buses across the Northern Beaches, Uber and GoGet car share are readily available, and the parking pass means you can bring your own car.
