Take it easy in Battery Point, where a maze of narrow laneways will reveal quaint cafés and galleries to intrepid wanderers.

Pick a path through the waterfront alleys to find a jumble of 19th-century cottages that huddle against the sea breeze like wharfies lining up at the docks. Working-class history is etched into this neighbourhood’s heritage architecture. Visit one of its revered bakeries and you might want to leave a trail of crumbs for your return journey. The glamorous strip of Salamanca Place will lure any bon vivant with its artisans’ markets, providores and award-winning restaurants.

Great staff, good location. Apartment was clean and comfortable. The hallway smelled a little musty. A good future renovation would be to replace all carpeting with hard flooring. Updates in bathroom were good.

Apartment was clean but very tired. Advertised as penthouse but needs an upgrade to match description. Broken tiles in bathroom, curtains didn't close properly, door locks to balcony were loose. I've previously stayed in another apartment here and its condition was much better.
