Boardrider Backpacker and Budget Motel

Work, play, and stay by the beach at Boardrider Backpackers and Budget Motel.

Right in the heart of Manly's Corso and just 80 metres from Australia's award-winning Manly Beach (TripAdvisor's 'Best Beach' 2018, 2019 & 2022), Boardrider puts the best of Sydney's Northern Beaches at your doorstep.

Surrounded by markets, shops, cafés, and restaurants, you'll be minutes from the surf, Shelly Beach, and the Cabbage Tree Bay snorkelling reserve. Plus, it's only a short stroll to the ferry — your fast track to Sydney Harbour and the CBD.

Their four-storey, purpose-built backpacker and motel offers room types for every budget — from social dorms (including couples' beds) to private rooms with shared or ensuite bathrooms, some with balconies and ocean views.

Kick back in the large common lounge, cook up in the communal kitchen, or soak up the buzz from the balcony overlooking The Corso. With free breakfast, linen, Wi-Fi, and regular entertainment, they've got your stay sorted. Top it off with their BYO rooftop bar and BBQ terrace, complete with panoramic Manly views, and you've found your ultimate beachside base.
