I'm so glad I stayed here. The setting was fantastic, just 1 minute from the beach and a 5 minute walk from the center of everything. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. When my air conditioner wasn't working they replaced it immediately.
Also, the room was fabulous. A outdoor terrace, room inside to cook, a big bed. It was really, really great. So much so I was sad to leave!

We really enjoyed our stay at Manly Waves Studios and Apartments. At check in we got a really nice surprise of a free upgrade from a Designer Family Apartment (Courtyard) to a two bedroom apartment. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Manly Waves Studios and apartments is located a short walk away from Manly beach, Manly shops, Manly restaurants and the Manly Ferry. We will definitely stay at Manly Waves Studios and Apartments again next time we have a break in Manly.

We had a mixed stay, we didn't get the room we booked online and was supposedly an upgrade due to it being a bigger room. Problem was that it was very run down, bedding was awful, filthy stained couch, no shower curtain, very mouldy. Manager was decent enough to upgrade us to a much better apartment which was very clean and well presented. I know it's not the fault of management but the street we were in was very sketchy. We were terrified on the last night as we were heading out for ice cream and a man was screaming and chasing another man that he was going to kill him and started to beat him. My daughter was very upset. Both mornings there were Police investigating several complaints. Not really a great place for families with young children.

The image provided was not the same room as I stayed in. I was upgraded but I would have preferred the smaller room I booked, with fresh air and a breeze.

We had a really mixed stay at Waves. Our first room (#14, Family Apartment with Courtyard) was really dirty, dark, lacked facilities. There was a lady loitering in the back (public) courtyard and I realised she was homeless so offered her dinner. The problem was the noise at night, it didn’t feel safe and my kids were frightened. No tissues, old broken iron, missing shelf from the fridge.
We really appreciated the change for the second night, otherwise I’d have left for elsewhere. We moved to a much nicer apartment down the street at Lotus. It was much better. They didn’t mention the building works upstairs though. This was at a Waves apartment- we saw the reception guy there. So it was extremely noisy from 7-7.
I wouldn’t really recommend, unfortunately.

The place was really dirty : hair and stains on the bed sheets, lot of sand on the couch, floor was full of dirt, the toilet fan sounded like there was a mouse trapped in it. Its dissapointing to pay that much and have something dirty. The location is great though.

Super funky decor and a really comfy bed! Loved it. Will be back!

Upgrade to 2 bed apartment. Comfortable. A little dated and small maintenance required but overall pretty good.
3.0
This is good for a short stay such as after a night out because you won't want to stay much longer than a few hours. The staff are friendly but it was a little strange having the housekeeper come into our room after we'd checked in so she could look for something allegedly left behind from the previous guest; she didn't find the item. It's at least a short stroll to the beach and restaurants, so that was a bonus!

Good location. A little run down. Bizarrely sheets were wrong way on bed and so too short - had to remake. Key wasn't in lock-box on arrival as arranged so luckily had a mobile number to ring to organise a key at 11pm at night. Otherwise comfy enough.

Obtained key with room number from the late check in box. Unlocked room to find people asleep in my room. Then there was nobody on site and an ordeal to find an alternate room.

The room we were given was small, smelly, dirty and not as shown on Expedia. The toilet was stained, microwave rusty, looked dangerous. Paint peeling off in bathroom. tiny balcony. Dirty walls and floors. Discarded flannel behind TV, rubbish under bed. There wasn’t a courtyard as described was full of rubbish and boxes. The only redeeming feature of the property was the very pleasant and helpful young lady in reception. We also had a parking space at the property which we paid extra for which was a bonus.

Great location close to beach. Limited and very tight parking.
Staff friendly.
4.0
We loved the location, distance to beach and dining options. We loved the balcony, good size bathroom and we could use a car space to get car off the 2P parking spaces. We thought the place could however use a freshen up and more attention to cleaning. The photos online are nothing like our room - which was a beige box. I get that maybe Manly Waves has different locations and rooms on the property- and potentially I paid for the type given but it felt this needs to be clearer so customers are not disappointed. The price good and location fabulous which made up for feeling like I arrived at a completely different accommodation that I was looking forward to.

Designer Family Room had great heritage character and features. Good size room for a family and best shower pressure i have ever seen. For us the location was perfect. Pretty sure we will be back.
