Exploring Manly and travelling to and from the city or airport couldn’t be easier.
🛥 Ferry to Sydney City:
The Manly Ferry is just a few minutes’ walk from Manly Muse and offers one of Sydney’s most scenic commutes. The fast ferry takes around 20 minutes to Circular Quay, while the regular ferry takes about 30 minutes — both provide stunning harbour views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Ferries run frequently from early morning until late evening.

With a lock-up garage included, you can drive directly to the apartment and use it as your base for exploring Sydney’s Northern Beaches. If heading into the city by car, allow 25–35 minutes outside peak hours.

Sydney Airport is approximately 45–60 minutes by car, depending on traffic. You can pre-book a shuttle, taxi, or rideshare directly from the apartment. Alternatively, take the ferry to Circular Quay, then connect via train to the airport for a stress-free public-transport route.
