Hi I'm your Local Host Usha
Creating exceptional stays is at the heart of what I do. I make sure every guest has a five-star experience from the moment they book to the moment they check out, whether that's a great arrival or a helping hand when you need one.The Northern Beaches have so much to offer, and I love helping guests discover it. For coffee, Silo Espresso in Manly is a favourite, and if you're near Lindfield, Goodfields Eatery is well worth the visit. When it comes to a walk with a view, the Fairfax Track is hard to beat, particularly at sunset after a day at Manly Beach.

My local picks
A few of my favourite spots near the properties.
Eat well on the Northern Beaches
Northern Beaches has plenty of great dining options, and I've put together a list in the house manual based on your location. Some of my top picks include: Pocket Pizza, The Pantry Manly for stunning beachfront views, The Boathouse Balmoral Beach for a relaxed waterside meal, and Bathers Pavilion.
Drinks, coffee, and ice cream
For drinks, 4 Pines Manly is a great spot! For coffee, Silo Espresso in Manly is a favourite — and if you're near Lindfield, Goodfields Eatery is worth the stop. When it's time for a treat, head to Anita's in Manly or Messina at Circular Quay.
Walk the Fairfax Track
My personal favorite is The Fairfax Walk—it offers breathtaking views and a gentle, enjoyable walk suitable for all guests. Watching the sunset from this spot after a day at Manly Beach is truly a perfect way to wrap up the day!
