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.

Hotel was lovely very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely old building. Only problem was the heating in our room was not working, but staff quickly brought us a heater for our room. Loved their happy hour drinks. Would have preferred to have breakfast included in cost and not à la carte.
