We loved this property! Waking up, pouring coffee and literally walking the 45 steps to the beach was like a dream. Sunrises from the sunroom are breath taking. This is a quiet area, but still feels lively with the beach club next door and lots of people walking and running in the morning time. Though we didn’t partake in them, there are some restaurants and coffee shops nearby within walking distance. If going to Manly Beach … the bus on Esplanade to the Taronga zoo is perfect to catch the ferry to Manly. The ferry ride back from Manly will give you UNBELIEVABLE views of the Sydney Harbour bridge and Opera House. The kitchen was fully stocked, even a bottle of wine was in the fridge and some sweet treats were left for us to enjoy. We had an abundance of space for (4) adults and rarely used the living room at all because we spent all our time soaking up the views of the sunroom. Our hosts were wonderful and so kind. We would HIGHLY recommend this property to other guests!

We absolutely loved our time at the Oriana - so amazing to be right on the beautiful beach with great cafés nearby and easy public transport into the city. Helen and David were lovely hosts, kindly taking us to the supermarket and showing us around on our first day. The property was fabulously well-suited for our three generations' holiday!

Such a magical location. You don’t feel like you are so close to the city. Waking up to the incredible views is something special indeed. The beach is clean and popular with swimmers and runners but not crowded. Rooms are all spacious. There’s plenty of space to spread out and serve a diverse group of ages. The kitchen is well stocked. It is an older elegant home so caution kids to be careful with furniture and fixtures. There are a lot of glass surfaces/ tables I was nervous about with our active 4 yr old.

A wonderful staycation by Balmoral Beach , a special place

Breath taking location that is truly one of a kind. Helen communicated very well in the lead up to my family’s stay. Check in was straight forward. Helen was nearby all week which was very helpful. Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at The Oriana, the location is perfect, everything about the place was excellent.

The Oriana was absolutely amazing, Helen was fantastic. Helen met us when we arrived and was ever so obliging saving us a parking spot for our arrival and to take us through the property. The pictures are stunning, however being there is even better. They sound of the beach was soothing and you could feel yourself just decompressing from the hustle and bustle by the minute. We highly recommend staying there at least once. Add it to your bucket list. We are definitely going back.

We booked the Oriana for our family to be altogether in the lead up to my daughter’s wedding. It it is so wonderfully located, right on Balmoral Beach. The sunrises every morning were magic. My daughter and bridesmaids got ready for the wedding from here and it was perfect! The Oriana is spacious, light filled with lots of different living areas that really make it a very comfortable place for a group of adults. I would highly recommend The Oriana and would love to return one day!
