“Great location”

Reviewed March 5, 2013

My husband and I stayed at the Outback Lodge for several nights in Feb 2013. Our room was small, simple, and tidy. We had a bed with all the linens, kitchenette well equipped, TV, towels, and a bath bar. We had a shared bath, which was a first for us. We didn't find it too much of an inconvenience except... More

“Value for Money”

Reviewed February 19, 2013

I stayed at the outback lodge three times! Should be enough said. It is not a 5* hotel, but it is better than similar priced venues. Add in its location, on a quiet road 5 minutes walk from Manly beach and the variable accommodation facilities (almost every room has different features) and you have a practical alternative to hotels and...

“A Terrible experience.”

Reviewed October 2, 2012

I organised to stay for one week here. 2 days before my departure I am told my room has been double booked and I have to leave. Leaving me to find new accomodation for a night on a public holiday weekend. The attitude of 'Shez' (who seems to run the show there) in dealing with this matter was appalling -... More

It is never pleasant when a guest who books in for a particular period which is paid upfront, suddenly decides that they wish to extend their stay. We at The Outback Lodge placed a notice under the guests door two days prior to his vacating date to remind him this was his vacating day and this is when he was... More

“Disappointing”

Reviewed June 15, 2012

I saw the good reviews for The Outback Lodge and was really pleased when I managed to book the last available apartment the day before my stay in Manly. I arrived in the evening when the reception area was closed. As a lone female traveller I felt a bit uneasy with the remote feel to the location of the property.... More

It is always disappointing to get a review like this especially when the guest specifically booked an apartment with its own private entrance and did not want to experience noisy neighbors. The apartment is at the rear of the property and to gain access is to walk down the side of the building the apartment at the back - this... More

The Outback Lodge has been a home away from home for me. The staff have been amazing and made sure Ive been comfortable at all times.

“Quaint, quiet, perfect locale.”

Reviewed February 29, 2012

After spending tireless sessions online looking for something worthwhile in Manly I discovered this little gem. For the price, you're not going to find a better deal than the Outback Lodge. It's perfectly located a couple of minutes from the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms were recently renovated and were small but very accomodating. The hotel itself seemed... More
