Rare Beachside Opportunity in the Iconic Grande Esplanade

Welcome to apartment 122 at The Grande Esplanade—your exclusive chance to secure a property in this prestigious landmark building, perfectly positioned on the harbourfront in the heart of Manly, and directly opposite Manly Wharf.

Investors will appreciate the apartment's proven track record of generating strong returns, capitalising on Manly's popularity among paying guests!

Offered fully furnished, and with future bookings, the home currently averaged $230 per night approx.

Q&A:
 
 	 Q1: Is unit 122 in the same Quest building? 
 	 A1: Yes. However Quest removed their license in 2024, and permanently closed their doors in Manly. 
 	 Q2: What does this mean for unit 122? 
 	 A2: unit 122 remains part of the serviced apartment complex, of which there are only 54 units on the harbour frontage. 
 	 Q3: Does that mean it's like a hotel? 
 	 A3: No, it's a serviced apartment, which means that the home can be (and is currently) offered as short-term accommodation to patrons and guests. Currently managed by Etch Real Estate, a 'booking sheet' (showcasing bookings through to 2026) can be shared on request. The home is offered via Airbnb, Booking.com, through relocation agents, recruitment agents and through the lucrative insurance claims network, to name a few, and has a loyal following and glowing reviews. 
 	 Q4: What if I buy unit 122, can I use it too? 
 	 A4: Absolutely, as you rightfully own the unit you can stay as little or as much as you like (limited to 90-days per stay). This way you can capitalise on the high-yield revenue, and reserve it to enjoy with friends and family too. No Etch Real Estate management fee applies when you stay. 
 	 Q5: Can I rent it out, like I would one of my other investment properties? 
 	 A5: Yes, but being a serviced apartment there is a restriction of a maximum of 90-days per let. Generally the higher revenue comes from shorter stays. 
 	 Q6: Does the unit have parking? 
 	 A6: Absolutely, and this is one of the incredible hidden benefits of U122. Accessed via the Wilsons (Gilbert Street carpark) unit 122 has its on private car park, which happens to be the largest in the complex and has sufficient space for a car + trailer.
