We Thought Winter in Sydney Was a Write-Off — Until We Found This Beach Hostel in Manly
(Spoiler: We got three free nights and daily sunrise yoga.)
Winter” and “Beach Hostel” Shouldn’t Work Together —
But Somehow, It’s Perfect
We weren’t expecting much when we booked two weeks at a beach hostel in the middle of winter. But now we’re surfing every morning, sipping coffee in the courtyard, and wondering why we didn’t do this sooner.
Turns out, winter in Manly isn’t what you’d think. There’s sunshine, empty waves, warm locals, and a hostel that feels less like a backpacker joint and more like a low-key sharehouse with better perks.
SO WHAT’S A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?
This winter, Stoke Beach House is bringing the heat.
Up to $280 in savings if you stay 14 or 28 nights Private pod-style beds (with your own light + charger) Free daily breakfast, bar credits and events No crowds. No stress. Just actual space to enjoy it all
A FEW THINGS YOU WON’T EXPECT (BUT WILL DEFINITELY BRAG ABOUT)
Morning yoga or a barefoot beach stroll
Hearty breaky (on the house) with your new hostel mates
Surf, snorkel, hike North Head — or just chill in the cinema room
Sunset beers at the in-house bar or a local favourite
Trivia, movie night, or paint & sip with the Stoke crew
No pressure. Just good people and the kind of energy you didn’t know you needed.
AND THE BEST BIT
Everyone else is freezing. You’re walking to the beach, loving life.
They’re stuck in traffic. You’re working (or not) from a sunny courtyard..
They’re spending more. You’re getting free drinks and three nights on the house.
