Manly Paradise Motel and Beach Plaza Apartments

Frommer's Review

I walked into this place after taking a look around the modern Manly Waterfront Apartment Hotel next door and immediately felt more at home here. The motel and apartment complex are separate, but share a reception area. The irregularly shaped rooms are big yet cozy, and come with a shower and a springy double bed. Though there is no restaurant, you can get breakfast in bed; a simple breakfast costs about A$10 (US$8/UK£4). My only concern is that the traffic can make it a little noisy during the day (but you'll probably be on the beach then, anyway). Some rooms have glimpses of the sea. Residents of the apartment complex share the swimming pool (with views) on the roof.

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

Facilities:
Indoor heated pool; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms
