Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve

Reviewed By mrdom

At least of the places I've been. All the way from Shelly Beach (a great beach itself which provides the easiest access to the water) to the headland near Manly beach has a huge variety of fish and some spectacular rocks.

Room Eight Escape Rooms

You’re trapped… and the clock is ticking. Everything you need to escape is right there in front of you – if only you can decode it, discover it, unearth it or uncover it. Room Eight is a team sport for your mind: can you and your companions untangle the web of clues and triumphantly make a great escape before time runs out?

Reviewed By Milch - Sydney, Australia

We attempted the 'Indisposed Room' with our 2 children, aged 7 and 4. The company website suggests the rooms are suitable ages 12 and over, but they are fine for younger kids with adult supervision. The room was great - the clues were varied and interesting, and there is help available through an in game touch screen or gamemaster intervention to keep the progression going. We managed to escape the room with under a minute to go - although we needed some liberal use of their clue system at the end to escape in time. Our 7 year old was able to help with several of the clues and had a blast during the experience. The 4 year old didn't contribute, but loved being along for the ride. We'll certainly be coming back in the future to try out other rooms here

Shelly Beach

Reviewed By Breadleg - Foster City, United States

A nice walk through the bush and along the cliffs from Manly Bay to Shelly Beach with lots of great outlooks along the way. Some areas require stabile footing due to rocks. Glad we wore trail running shoes. And we did this all in torrential rains. Still loved it.

Manly Quarantine Station

Reviewed By AniaTur - Sydney, Australia

I LOVE the Q Station! Walking around it literally feels like travelling in time. You can feel a vibe, a presence - it is quite different from any place I have been to. And IT IS HAUNTED! ;) I had a pleasure of participating in an amazing ghost tour: I learnt a lot about the history of the station - VERY interesting - and I got chills hearing stories about ghost appearances and residual energy imprint haunting in different locations across the Q Station. Walking around such an unusual place in the dark and with just a few lanterns is scary enough but doing so with a black ghost lady as a guide is definitely the next level! And I am pretty sure I saw something in the showers that wasn't supposed to be there! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone looking for more excitement in their lives! By the way, they also great run history tours for those who prefer stay away from the paranormal ;)

Avalon Beach

Reviewed By MeredithAussie - Cannes, France

This is a beautiful beach with surf and golden sand. It is patrolled by surf-lifesavers, so it's best to swim between the flags OR in the excellent ocean baths on the southern end of the beach. Council has also provided a shower/tap for rinsing salt and sand off before you go home. There are plenty of seats (in both sun and shade) and a grassy area and children's playground. Just one block back from the beach are restaurants, cafes and other shops (with parking available).
