NRL halfback Nathan Cleary has snapped up a place at Curl Curl on Sydney's Northern Beaches for $5.5 million and put it straight on the rental market at $2,350 per week.

The Penrith Panthers star acquired the coastal property and offered it for rent rather than moving in. Curl Curl sits on Sydney's Northern Beaches, one of the city's more sought-after coastal strips. No additional information about the property's features or settlement date have been reported.
