Featuring light and airy spaces throughout you will be accommodated in absolute comfort with 2 generous bedrooms, a luxury bathroom with rain shower, a modern kitchen with stone bench tops and breakfast bar, and a workspace with an ocean view. Integrated washer and dryer for your ultimate convenience. Here coastal decor meets the latest luxuries, and with breathtaking views over Manly's iconic Shelley Beach. My newly renovated apartment is located on prestigious Bower St, Shelley Beach Manly. Positioned on the rooftop of the Sea Murmur building, the interiors are inspired by New York Loft style, while the views are reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast. With three rooftop balconies you will be able to take your pick between close views over Shelley Beach, expansive views north up the entire Northern Beaches coastline, or magical views up to St Patrick's Cathedral. Positioned above the famous Bower restaurant, your morning coffee fix is footsteps away, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and with a leisurely walk around the promenade to The Boathouse Shelley Beach you will never want to cook. A short walk will take you into lively Manly with its many restaurants, cafe's, bars, and shopping. And with its rich nightlife of live music you will not be bored.

Should you bring a car with you, there is plenty of street parking but it can get busy on a sunny summers day. My apartment is a walk up with a few short flights of stairs but worth the view.

There are many great local bushwalks around the headland where you can take in the amazing views. Set right above Shelley Beach ocean pool and the ocean promenade with views reminiscent of the Italian Coast. Your morning coffee fix is footsteps away at the Boathouse or Bower Cafe. Head one way for Shelley Beach swimming and snorkeling and the other for the lively atmosphere of Manly Beach with its restaurants, bars, cafes and shopping. Or sit on one of your 3 balconies sipping on a cocktail and grilling while enjoying ocean breezes. My home is ready to become your private coastal retreat.

Condo in Whale Beach

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 352 reviews

Whale Beach Escape Apartment with Leafy Ocean Views

Floor to ceiling views just 10 minutes walk to the beach. This space has the feel of a luxurious cabin with all the amenities of a high-end apartment. Take in ocean views while relaxing in total comfort in this secluded, leafy hideaway. Escape the crowds for a longer stay in peaceful surroundings only 1 hour from the city centre. A lovely self-contained apartment with sunlit rooms decorated with easy elegance for relaxing and taking in the view. An easy 10 minutes walk to beach, cafes, restaurants and stunning bush walks. Public transport can deliver you and delivered-to-the-door public transport. Whilst being situated in a secluded spot away from the hustle bustle, public transport can now deliver you directly to our door. Guests have separate entrance to their apartment. You will occasionally cross paths on the driveway with hosts, Emily and David- happy help you with any queries should you have them, but of the general understanding that you need to just get on with the business of having a holiday. Guests are always greeted on arrival, with a bottle of wine and a welcome selection of appetisers and breakfasts to start your holiday off on the right foot. Happy to assist if you are dairy and/or gluten free. We have an excellent, well-equipped kitchen for longer stays and are happy to point you in the right direction for local specialty fare. As is the case for many spots with great views, access is via a short but steep driveway. Parking is safe and always available. Due to enquiries, we now have an extremely comfortable queen sofa bed which is very easy to return to a sofa during the day. Pictures still being updated. Please contact for more details. Wifi is available, as is a bookshelf with books, board games and DVDs which can be played on the large television. You have your own clothesline, and hose to wash off sand after a swim. The sunny outside table is great for sunset drinks or dinner. Relax at home, or spend the day exploring this beautiful area- see online guidebook or booklet compiled with all the great things to do here. We are happy to interact where needed. If needed, contact for anything is initially via text. We are extremely respectful of privacy. Stroll to Whale Beach for a swim or exercise, bushwalk along some of the coast’s most dramatic scenery; take in the view from the lighthouse above Palm Beach or just retreat to your secluded hideaway to cook up a storm and take in the view. This delightful part of the world is just a walk from Avalon village, or you can choose to have supplies delivered. You can come here by public transport easily - only 10 minutes walk from the L90 bus stop. If you drive, please park opposite on the street outside (the driveway is quite steep and needs practice!). It is easy to arrive by public transport bus, the L90 and E88, which are about ten minutes walk uphill, alternately we can arrange to give you a lift from here if the timing is arranged beforehand. There are also excellent airport shuttle bus services that will take you straight to our door from the airport. We are walking distance to Moby Dicks for weddings and a very short drive to Jonah's. Keep an eye on our whalebeachescape social media page for our regular special deals. Young/small families welcome: we have a portacot, toys, books and dvds for your young ones :) If you wish to bring your baby/child, as we've found many happily have, we ask you to please "baby-proof" the space on arrival- you are far better at knowing what your little one can get up than us :) We are happy to provide a portacot if needed, but ask that you supply your baby's familiar bedding :) We advertise "5 beds" because small families with a child have enquired about this with reasonable regularity. We can supply a trundle bed which is made up and fits under the queen bed. We charge an extra $30 per person. The sofa bed is a new addition which can have an extra 2 people. Please note, the trundle bed needs to be set up in the bedroom or sitting room. You need to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, so it is not for everyone, but it probably makes a place with a view and walking access to the beach better value.
