Hillside homes with bay views
Many Manly homes sit on the hill above the harbour, from old timber cottages to large modern homes, often with stairs and steep driveways. Apartments and townhouses cluster near the harbour and the village.
Steep hillside streets
Streets climbing from the Esplanade are steep in places, and parking in the village is tight on weekends. We'll match the truck to your street and use walkboards and hydraulic lifts where they help. We match the truck to your home: a smaller truck for units and tight streets, or a larger truck with a walkboard or hydraulic platform lift for family houses. See our trucks and equipment.
Boat harbour and the Esplanade
Manly Boat Harbour is one of Brisbane's main boating hubs, and the Esplanade and its parklands stretch along the bay. The heritage-listed Manly War Memorial on Carlton Terrace and a stone retaining wall on Cambridge Parade show the suburb's history. Manly station on the Cleveland line sits up the hill. Homes on the hill are often split-level, so allow time for stairs.
