Manly offers a great range of accommodation to suit every budget, including homestay ($230/week), hostels (from $25/night or $160/week), and apartments from $500/week.
Most of our visitors choose either Homestay or Hostel accommodation.

Staying with a homestay family (single room accommodation, with breakfast & dinner Monday - Friday and all meals at weekends) is a great way to make Australian friends and practise your English.

At the SEA we choose our homestay families very carefully to ensure that you have the best experience of homelife during your stay in Manly.
