I walked into this place after taking a good look around the modern Manly Waterfront Apartment Hotel next door and immediately felt more at home here. The motel and the apartment complex are separate, but share the same reception area. Though there is one motel room that goes for A$90 (U.S.$63), it's a bit small for my liking; the rest of the irregularly shaped rooms are big yet cozy, and come with a shower (no tub) and a springy double bed. Though there is no restaurant, you can get breakfast in bed. My only concern is that the traffic outside can make it a little noisy during the day. Some rooms have glimpses of the sea. A swimming pool (with views) on the roof is shared with the apartment complex.

The apartment are magnificent--very roomy, with thick carpets. They're stocked with everything you need, including a private laundry, a full kitchen with dishwasher, and two bathrooms (one with a tub). The sea views from the main front balcony are heart-stopping
