"Good location within walking distance of the CBD. Nice views North east over the eastern city and harbour beyond. Nicely appointed and comfortable accomodation. Nestled in a small valley in amongst many houses and so prepared for the busy city sounds. Narrow curving road access requires a degree of luck and the ability to reverse on the occasion you met others going in the opposite direction.Enjoyed the convince and the homely touches.The host is accomodating and very friendly."
