Lifeline Shop Manly

incredible book selection! fairly priced considering the shops location - very much book + clothing oriented, homewears section is there but not plentiful

I saw this lovely skirt and had to come back once I got some cash out. The store had unfortunately closed at 4pm and I was there at 4:20pm. A elderly lady refused to engage me through the window. I came back for two days seperately and they weren’t open due to public holidays not advertised online . I then called through to pay over the phone and the same lady answered said it wasn’t on hold, refused to look in the store, said they didn’t do phone payment ect. I just felt really discouraged by her lack of empathy or help. Not great or normal for a charity store. Other staff and product seemed helpful and nice quality.

This opportunity shop has one of the best second hand book sections I have found in Sydney, the whole second floor is books, and priced at $2 and $1 for kids books it is definitely a goldmine for entertainment on a rainy day.

You must go upstairs to this incredible second hand book shop. All books are $2 and the selection is so incredibly organised by genre and author surname (for fiction titles). I love the staff picks display with all the popular titles unearthed and also the books made into movies display! Bought a bag full of books for a small price. Will visit everytime I'm in Manly.

They do the window displays pretty well. Some good quality items at times. Helpful staff.

A good range of second hand items and books. Worth going there

very expensive, not really helping the people who need it most when changing so much for second hand clothes.

The opening times are not accurate, they close earlier than stated

This shop is one of the best kept secrets in Sydney. They are selling in an up market suburb and their stock is curated accordingly. Lots of fashion label clothing. Especially good for prestige active wear and expensive brand business shirts. The bargains are so good I feel like a robber. My daughter and wife have found loads of good items also. Some days everything I am wearing is from this shop. They also have some nice items of jewelry from time to time, especially watches. The upstairs has a large book collection which is very well organised. It has also has a separate children's book section which has saved us a fortune over the years.
