We were looking for a beach house, close to Sydney, and local friend recommended the Collaroy basin area. We had a really great time at this property, particularly enjoyed Long Reef beach, which is a short walk away at the Dee Why end; played tennis; swam every day; walked the coastal path to Manly; and also went back into Sydney one of the days...if you are looking for something close to the city but a little bit off the tourist trail, this is a great location. The property itself was exactly as presented online, spotlessly clean, modern and well maintained. And Toni was very responsive throughout the check in / check out process. We had no issues at all.We would very happily rent here again and enjoyed Northern Beaches stay thoroughly.
