Question 1

Is Manyana a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Manyana is a small coastal village on the NSW South Coast set among sandy beaches, rocky headlands and coastal heath. It has a laidback, low-density feel with a mix of classic single-storey beach cottages and newer holiday homes along quiet streets and bushy blocks. The community of 670 people has a median age of 55, and the suburb suits people after a relaxed seaside lifestyle—families, retirees and those who keep a holiday place—spending time on the sand, coastal walks and rock pools.

Local services are limited, so residents typically travel by local roads to nearby towns for shopping and schools. Locally there is a purpose-built Rural Fire Service station with four truck bays and supporting facilities, plus community assets such as the Manyana/Yulunga public hall and the Manyana tennis courts. Council plans also include shared user paths linking Manyana to Bendalong and at Cunjurong Point. Whether Manyana suits you depends on whether you want a low-density seaside village with those trade-offs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Manyana?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Manyana sit at about $500 a week. Measured against the median total household income recorded at the most recent Census of $1,095 a week, that rent would take about 45.7% of a typical local household's weekly income, which is a large share. If you're renting rather than buying, that's the figure that matters; whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Manyana a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Manyana rose 6.0%, a solid increase in capital value. House rents over the same period fell by 5.7%, a notable decline in the rental income those properties would bring. That means, on the figures available, houses have delivered capital growth this year while the rent they earn has weakened; whether that balance suits your plans depends on your individual goals and circumstances.
