Accommodation exceeded expectations. Next thing I have to do after writing this review is see if the dates are available for our next trip. The host was very warm, friendly and thoughtful, I felt very comfortable communicating with her. The apartment was great. The quality of the consumables left by the host were excellent as was the air conditioning. The location was great, very quiet and private for such high density city living. I shouldn't rave too much otherwise it will be booked out when I want to stay again!

Amazing Experience! Debbie and Shaun are kindly and frindly. The house is better than pictures very clean and comfortable. Close to the station no noise from traffic or other. Manly is nice place with good restaurants and bars. The market is equipped and Saturday morning there is fruit and vegetable market with many foods type. Thanks Debbie for your "magical soup" and thanks Shaun for " live fish" . We hope return soon.

Debbie and Shaun's unit is awesome. A very clean and large place, had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. The photos don't do it justice. A cool Queenslander style unit with a relaxing private BBQ area underneath and secure off street parking. I met both Debbie and Shaun and they were very welcoming. I stayed there for a 2nd week, that's how great it was! A nice area close to the beautiful Manly marina. Thanks again for an awesome stay.

Debbie place was excellent. it is walking distance to the shops, foreshore and train. It was everything we expected. We would defintely stay at Debbie's place again.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Debbie's place is well located. Great access to many of Brisbane's offerings. The flat has everything for a comfortable stay. Private and quiet. Would definitely return to stay. Thanks.

Great flat in a great location. Really enjoyed my stay.

A great apartment if you are basing yourself in Manly (for example before sailing from RQYS Manly). Bed is very comfy. Kitchen has the necessary amenities and the lounge room is comfortable. There is an outside area underneath the apartment but didnt use that as was busy during the days. Walkable to train station or cambridge parade and the nice shops of Manly (highly recommend Lido pizzeria) and then the esplanade and weekend markets. So good that i am looking forward to staying there again next month. Highly recommended.

Beautiful old QLDer with lots of charm. Clean, prime location, great hosts with fantastic communication. Beautiful breeze of an afternoon!! Keep in mind it does not have aircon so can get a bit warm. Very dog friendly with pet beds and secure backyard. Great place would definitely stay again!!

Comfortable place to stay

Fantastic location. Walking distance to everything! Clean, neat Accomodation with everything you need for a great little holiday!

Great Central Location for Manly. Very tidy and clean house with all the facilties you will need.

The apartment is a 5 star home-away-from-home. John & Kate met us on arrival & Kate showed us the room & facilities & was friendly & helpful. They had provided way more food than we had expected & little homely touches that we really appreciated. The apartment was exactly as pictured, was exceptionally clean & had every thing a client could want. The apartment is in a quiet street, handy to the town of Wynnum, waterfront, train etc. with plenty of room for parking on the street. We spent 5 weeks here & could easily have stayed longer.

Host made me feel super welcome right from the start. Exactly what I needed for my stay. Place stocked with lots of necessities which was a pleasant surprise

Felt like home away from home. Beautiful weather and a very comfortable accomodation

We had a great time at Johns place. Kate was lovely and stayed up until after midnight to show us around after our flight was delayed. The Studio was very cute and tidy with everything we needed plus a few lovely surprises.

We stayed here for our last remaining days in Australia before moving to New Zealand permanently. It was the best thing since "sliced bread" as the saying goes! Home from home with superb facilities - would certainly recommend ;-)

Dear John and Kate , Winnie and I really enjoyed our stay with you. This was our first experience of ab&ab and it was very pleasant . The room was spotless and very well appointed . The breakfast supplies were very generous and we would certainly stay with you again when we next visit our son in Wynnum . My only complaint was that the pillows were a bit too soft for my liking but other than that everything was great. Thanks again . Regards Danny and Winnie

The room was amazing. Great with communication about arrival. It was great to have my own accessibility also as I was coming in late at night most nights. Very clean and everything I needed was provided. Easy to add an extra night stay, very accommodating.

We had a great time. The place is absolutely clean and beautifully decorated. Hosts are very friendly and they kindly provided breakfast ingredients as a courtesy. Thank you so much!

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was beautifully presented down to the finest detail. Our expectations were exceeded and we were grateful for the finer details with even milk and cereal provided and condiments available for our use. I would definitely recommend both the accommodation and the location.

Very spacious with everything you could possibly need.. Great hosts with extensive local knowledge.

If you're staying in Manly, look no further than right here! Angela and James provided an absolutely gorgeous apartment which made for a refreshing and comfortable stay, with a touch of luxury. This apartment is spacious and thoughtfully decorated with coastal chic decor. The large bed and shower are straight out of a 4 star resort. Price is very affordable for couples and singles and location is easy walking distance to the marina, train line and shops. Highly recommended.

Angela were great hosts, very welcoming and very thoughtful. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, fully equipped kitchen and a see view terrace! What else you need.....!

We couldn't have been more happy with the room, the house and our hosts. Also it's a very beautiful location.

Lovely home within walking tracks along foreshore.close enough to cafes. Lovely open space.great amenities and hosts.

The bio says it all. Melissa and her husband are also good people and accommodating. This place is not near the city if you are looking to be close.

Had a very nice stay at Melissa's place. She and Rene have a lovely home and were great hosts. Hope l can return someday.

We booked in late and left early and did not have much interaction with the host. The place was clean and as described. Melissa met us at the door and showed us our room and amenities. We sat on the balcony and had some breakfast the next morning with lovely water views.

Melissa's place is lovely, nice and close to the esplanade - fabulous location. The rooms were clean and organised upon arrival, and house manual was a good addition. Good for work trips or travellers.

Nice stay. Nice couple. Lovely house near playground and shore

Melissa was very accommodating at having us at short notice! The room was comfy and clean and we really liked their 2 cats. The communal area upstairs is very spacious and easy to relax there

Absolutely brilliant, dave is a real nice guy, will give you great advice on things to do and see. Will give you as little or much space you need! Cooks a mean bbq!! His place is amazing clean and modern. Would recommend to anyone. CHEERS DAVE!!

We can highly recommend the apartment! We had great stay. The unit is near the waterfront and some lovely cafes and restaurants. It was also very clean. Thank you again Dave & hoping to be back next year

Felt very welcomed. Got our own privacy and was always neat and tidy. Would recommend to all.

Very attractive, comfortable and well equipped unit on a quiet street with easy street parking. Only a block from the esplanade and beautiful bay and an easy walk to restaurants, park and farmer's market (every other Saturday am). Dave was very attentive and helpful and easy to work with. One of the nicest places we've rented and have already rebooked for our next stay to visit family in the area.

I booked this on behalf of my parents, and this is their feedback: "What a gem! Dave’s place is in a quiet locality close to bayside walkways, restaurants and shopping areas. The upstairs apartment was clean and welcoming with modern furnishings, comfy bed, good kitchen facilities and a washing machine. All that we needed. After eight days we felt as if we had lived there forever! Friendly host and lovely dogs. Thanks Dave."

Nice location! Quiet and nice view! Dave was thoughtful and everything we need were there! Even candle! Will be there again if we go to Brisbane.

We could check in a little early and a little later than normal, which was very helpful. Dave popped in to say hello not long after we arrived for a chat and to see if we needed anything. Great halfway point to get into Brisbane CBD and Stradbroke, which is why we picked this location. Very clean and comfortable apartment in a quiet neighborhood but with shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Dave was fantastic to deal with, the location is fantastic. The unit is very well appointed with all the modern needs. The unit is very private. We were only there for 2nights but wished it was longer. Thanks so much Dave

Alan was very welcoming & helpful. The place was exactly like the pictures & very clean & inviting. On arrival Alan provided all the necessities to get us settled. We had hours of fun playing pool. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay. Thanks Alan.

Alan was a great host, and great at communicating. This is a great quite location and close to shops and Chandler sporting complex. The fridge was stocked with essentials the property was lovely and clean. The pool table was definitely a "hit" with the teenage boys!! You share this property with the owners so read about the property description as they frequent upstairs, generally regarding your privacy.

We had a lovely stay in Wynnum! Alan was a great host, very friendly and helpful. Everything we needed was on hand and Alan was available if we needed anything. The house was very clean and comfortable, and it was lovely to be able to sit outside on the deck in the evenings. Its in an excellent location, close to shops and restaurants, an easy 10 minute drive to RQYS, and an easy walk to the train station. A quiet street, with plenty of parking in front of the house made it very convenient for us when we arrived with our boat in tow. Highly recommended. Thanks for your hospitality Alan and hope to meet you again sometime!

Staying at Chez Wilde was great! Al is so helpful and friendly! My family and I stayed for two nights. All beds were comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and Al left us with a fully stocked kitchen! Only problem was we were unable to work the coffee machine but I think that was more our lack of knowledge. Also once signed into the WiFi it wouldn't work on our devices. Overall our stay ws fantastic and we would definitely recommend Al and Chez Wilde to anyone!!!

Our group of 4 people really enjoyed our stay at Chez Wilde. The location is great, on a quiet street but an easy walk away from the shore. We have stayed in many properties found through Airbnb and this one was probably the cleanest and best equipped. In particular we enjoyed the covered area outside, it was perfect for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. The billiard table was also a hit. The beds were comfortable, everything worked and was spotlessly clean. As mentioned in the description, the owner does access the upstairs area via the same front door that is used by guests on the ground floor but this was no problem at all for us, we saw Alan a couple of times and he was extremely friendly but also respectful of our privacy. Alan was very responsive to questions before and after we arrived, and was an ideal host. If we are back in this area, we would definitely stay here again.

Alan was hosting some new expats into the country. He made them feel very welcomed and showed them around. Always made himself available and was continually providing suggestions and recommendations. The family of 4 were delighted in the house and location. Will be using Alan again most definitely.

Alan was a great host he was always there to help with our needs. We had my sons christening and he help with organising all the tables and chairs to make it easy for us always kept check if needed more furniture or help. Its a beautiful house and has all that you need to make your little getaways stress free and enjoyable. We will definitely be staying there again without a doubt.

Hi Allan, Great place, great area, we had everything we needed and had a comfortable stay. Thankyou

Manly is a lovely little spot that is close enough (but out of the hassle and bustle) for anything you want to do in Brisbane! If you like to walk, there is a great walking path right outside the front door. The downside is the noise of the rubbish truck emptying the bins from the shops next door, multiple times, very early in the morning! If you need a very dark room to sleep, you won't find it here, but the entire unit (although a little older) was very clean and quite comfortable. We loved that we could take our cat with us and that the New Year's Eve fireworks and Sunday markets were right across the road! Lots of places to eat out, plus grocery shop for supplies all within a two minute walk.

A great place for our conference weekend at Chandler. The beachside location was ideal after a long day; we ate on the balcony, good parking, shopping and great places to eat. It can get a little noisy in the morning with supermarket truck deliveries - but we had to be up anyway, suits early risers. Very clean, spacious and easy to get key etc. thanks a Queenslander with style.

Very nice location with view over the Marina of the front balcony, we enjoyed our short stay at the Weekender Cottage in Manly. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable Beds, a well equipped Kitchen, nice inside and outside seating area's with enough space for all of us. Close to shops and restaurants. Can definitive recommend the place and would stay again, even if it gets a bit noisy sometimes, as Sue mentioned before we booked the place. Thank you Mariana, Ross, Alex, Dirk, Kon and Olli.

The house was located in the heart of Manly and it was a joy to watch the early morning activity from the balcony. It can be a little noisy first thing so best suited to early risers. The house is an old Queenslander and has some minor maintenance issues which need fixing, however, the location was great, the owner was easily contactable and our stay was great.s

My first booking on Airbnb so was a little nervous, Sue was amazing. The cottage itself is a little gem in Paradise has everything you need. walking distance to shops cafes walking tracks. Paradise I will definitely be back the view is like looking out to the French Riveria without being there. Thanks Sue

Great view Straight across the road from the boat harbour. Right next to IGA supermarket which can be noisy early in the morning as described. Otherwise great location

Our visit was for a family weekend including Grandparents. Plenty of space and facilities for all, including off street parking. The place is a typical old QLDer workmans house but in great condition and very clean, this house is a "character building" stay. Meanwhile there are plenty of kitchen amenities including a dishwasher. The view is unbeatable and having the esplanade and Sunday markets right across the road is a bonus. The shops next door have ample supplies for any meal needs and there is an abundant choice of restaurants nearby. We will stay again and happily recommend it to others.

Fantastic location, but big noise issues. House is ok, but needs some maintenance

Thanks to you and your family for being so friendly and helpful and making us so welcome.

"The Secret Get Away" A very private, welcoming, well presented living space. Generous in size, with clean and comfortable furnishing. Located on a quiet street, a minute walk down to the water at Wynnum. Would definitely recommend to others and stay again in the future. Host family gives a great vibe. Loved the apple and nut cake,

Very good home, we have been immediately al ease. Quiet and very clean, very pleasant family ensures comfort with the sea coast.

Very clean and complete, the hosts were extremely welcoming.

I really enjoyed my stay at 'Private Retreat Downstairs'. It is much more than a private room, it has a private living area, spacious outdoor area, little kitchen area with fridge, toaster, kettle, and a great selection of breakfast foods. Irene was very nice and accommodating with my arrival and departure times. I was in Wynnum for work, but it felt more like a holiday staying at Irene's!

Look no further for a fantastic place to stay in Brisbane - this is a treat! We were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm and made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. The private retreat had everything you could want and the house is set in a gorgeous garden, so we spent most of our time enjoying it in the spacious weather-proof outdoor area. Cool breezes from the sea made the hot weather pleasant. Original artwork on the walls and high quality breakfast appointments just added to the sense of luxury. There was also a separate loungeroom with a large-screen TV and excellent quality furnishings. We noted that the public transport is handy, but not too close, so that there was no annoying noise at night and we strolled down to the waterside markets on Sunday morning. Shopping centre also within walking distance which pretty well makes this location about as good as you can get for convenience. We'd love to go back soon, as the hosts were friendly and helpful and the private retreat was exactly that: private and very comfortable! Congrats to our hosts for making our stay SO memorable for all the right reasons! :-)

Awesome Host - Awesome place :)

Had a wonderful two night stay in the Private Retreat Downstairs. Such a beautiful home and very kind hosts. I felt very welcomed and Irene went out of her way to help me with all I needed. Highly recommended.

This was a lovely home, with a comfortable bed. The hosts were both very friendly and helpful.

Ela and Geoff were welcoming, accommodating and friendly hosts. The accommodation was lively, well maintained and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.

We stayed only one night, but it was exactly what we needed for our night out in Manly. The house was within easy walking distance of Manly village, it was easily accessible and comfortable. The hosts made us feel welcome and showed us around on arrival. It was perfect for us.

Ela and Geoff are a friendly, helpful and happy couple. Their place is lovely and exactly as described on Airbnb. Thanks for your hospitality :-).

Ela was very hospitable and shared a lot of information about the city and several helpful recommendations. The house was very nice and clean.

Ela and Geoff were absolutely fabulous. They were the perfect hosts. The communication prior to booking was excellent. The home was beautiful with everything you needed. Cannot recommend them enough. We will be staying there next year if the room is available. Thanks Ela, thanks Geoff Regards Geoff and Archie

Lovely, kind, thoughtful hosts. Thankyou for a wonderful stay! The rooms are so comfortable and clean, felt like home away from home.

We only stayed for one night, because we could pick up our van at the port of Brisbane the following day. The bed was very comfortable and the room was absolutely perfect and sooo clean! The same with the bathroom (for guests only)!! Amazing! And we enjoyed the Nespresso coffee in the morning! :)

Great tidy place to stay on a work trip.

Fabulous location, great value, highly recommended!
