Manly Luxury Villas
Manly is surrounded by water on three sides, giving guests the rare choice between ocean surf and calm harbour beaches in the same suburb. The Corso connects the wharf to the beach with cafes, shops and restaurants along the way. It is more laid back and family oriented than Bondi, with ferry access to the city that keeps you close without losing that beachside feel.
Cocoon hand picks each property for design, comfort and location. Every villa comes with local support from a team who knows Manly well.
