🎃 Halloween Party 2025
If there’s one night a year when Stoke Beach House goes full chaos (in the best way), it’s Halloween — and honestly, you guys did not hold back. From spooky looks to hilarious dance moves, this year’s party was on another level.
The courtyard turned into a haunted playground packed with witches, pirates, Hollywood stars, demons, and at least a few people claiming their costume was “last minute” (we’ll let you believe that). The DJ kept everyone moving, the drinks didn’t stop, and the vibe was exactly what a Halloween night in Manly should feel like.
We also handed out the costume prizes — which was way harder than it should’ve been. You all absolutely smashed it. 🏆

Until next October… stay spooky, stay silly, and stay Stoke. 👻✨
Everyone thinks winter in Manly will be quiet. Then they’re paying less, staying longer and wondering why they didn’t come sooner. This is what it’s actually like, from empty beaches to better vibes, and why travellers in the know wouldn’t do it any other way.
Australia isn’t cheap, we’re not going to pretend it is. But thousands of backpackers still make it work every day without blowing their entire savings. It all comes down to how you travel. Slow it down, spend smarter, and suddenly those “scary” travel costs start looking a whole lot more manageable.
Everyone worries they won’t meet anyone while backpacking Australia. Then they’re sharing meals, making plans and wondering how they ended up with a whole group. This is what it’s actually like, from awkward first days to easy friendships, and why it all happens faster than you think.
