Stay & Explore

Where To Stay

Whilst the wedding is in Mosman, all other wedding related activities will happen around Manly, so we’d recommend staying close by to minimise travel.

Manly is also an easy 20 minutes ferry ride to the city.

AirBnb

We recommend checking AirBnb to find accommodation around Manly, Manly Vale, North Manly, Queenscliff, Freshwater, Fairlight, Balgowlah, Seaforth, or Curl Curl.

Hotel Steyne Manly

This is also a busy pub at night in the heart of Manly, so please consider noise implications, especially when travelling with children.

Manly Pacific Hotel

A newly renovated hotel in the heart of Manly directly at the beach.
