An overall rating of “Excellent” accompanied by five little blue stars doesn’t adequately capture my experience at Manly Waves. I was looking for a room. I found a refuge. Manly Waves has soul, depth, character, charm; a story to tell…and time to tell it. A rare gem in today’s world. This space is a testament to the incredible foundation and community that Theo & his team have built with genuine care and intention over the years. Stop by. Pull up a chair. Stay awhile. You won’t regret it. ✨

The smell & presence of mould in the room was unbearable; toilet brush covered in all manner of debris, paint peeling off walls, common areas unkept, staff yelling outside rooms at early hours. Non-compliant electrical & plumbing work evident throughout

Close to the beach-Yes Staff- pleasant Amenities/ house- needs a good refurb. Bathroom not very clean, bathroom sink dirty. Kitchen okay. WIFI okay but TV didn't work. It would be of great benefit to deep clean the apartment (we stayed in the 3 bedrooms). It would be cute and more comfortable if it was maintained better. We didn't get the apartment we got on our confirmation invoice. Although the staff members were kind, I wouldn't go back there.

Genuinely so awful. I couldn’t stay there despite having paid over $600 for two nights. The rooms are dirty, smelly and grimy and the accommodation is unsafe. As a single woman travelling alone I felt instantly nervous.

We were moved on to Manly Waves sister property Lotus which was effectively an old apartment block 50 metres from where we booked and the employee expected us to know that. Room was significantly lacking and not what I had booked. If possible we would have left and stayed elsewhere. Had to ask for clean towels. Dirty towels where still sitting out front when we left. Mouldy shower and tiles were coated in soap scum. I had a shower with a cockroach too. The couch was stained and belonged in the tip.

The room was small but functional. The small kitchenette was well equipped and the balcony was nice to sit on in the evenings. The place definitely needs a lick of paint and we had some issues with cockroaches coming through gaps in the tiles, but it is Australia after all. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful, providing us with new towels when asked and allowing us to store our luggage for a few hours when we checked out. Overall it does the job for a short stay at a low cost

This place should NOT be listed on Expedia. It is damp, dirty, and the staff won’t even get off the phone to check you in. They allow smoking, the courtyard is filthy. I found a few cockroaches and left two days early. The owner did not even ask why I was leaving.
