Handy local and regional tips
Sightseeing - walking distance
Discover the local area best on foot. A 10-15 minute walk to the waterfront either via the Telegraph bridge or over the train line foot bridge makes for a good wonder especially early morning when you can catch the sunrise.
Beautiful waterfront views from anywhere along the waterfront from North Shore to Eastern Beach. Western Beach is the closet to our cottage. Head over the railway line and you are almost there.

Both ends of Pakington st offer a wide range of dinning options. The North end is a short stroll from the cottage with a variety of options.
