Elysium Manly Review

A beachfront hotel at 55 North Steyne, Manly, facing the ocean.

Why it stands out

Standing between the two beaches. Manly has an ocean side and a harbour side a few hundred metres apart, and this is on the ocean one with the ferry behind it.

Main trade-off

Manly scores 4.5 for airport convenience, the lowest in the city by a distance: the ferry is excellent and it does not run at five in the morning.

Why we recommend it

Best for the ferry and the beach

Our pick for Manly because it is on North Steyne facing the ocean beach, a few minutes' walk across the corso from the ferry wharf — which is the crossing that makes staying out here worth it.
