Dylan Cole GM Manly Pacific Winning Bleisure Clients To Oceanfront Retreat -Graeme Kemlo

Manly is really only 30 minutes away from the busy Sydney CBD, but when you get to the beach and the rolling surf of the Pacific Ocean, you could be half a world away. There’s a different lifestyle, a mindset change that kicks in when you’ve left the big smoke, the traffic and the office culture. People are surfing, playing beach volleyball, running, walking, drinking coffee and taking in the salty air. For 50 years, Manly Pacific Hotel has been a Manly icon right opposite the Norfolk Pine-fringed beach. But it has been reinvigorated by a $40 million transformation that includes an Italian restaurant complex, Cibaria by Alessandro Pavoni. Graeme Kemlo was invited up to check it out and he speaks with the Manly Pacific General Manager, Dylan Cole. Photo: Graeme Kemlo More information: manlypacific.com.au
