Absolutely a hidden gem, we stayed 9 nights and loved it. It’s in a laneway so don’t let that put you off. It’s safe and we walked around at night without a care. Great food places around and the staff are extremely helpful to let you know what’s around. We switched to a room with a verandah it was great. Sat out there for our morning coffee, there are cafes very close. It’s clean and comfortable, we enjoyed our stay. And would definitely stay again. Use the punk transport rather than the hop on hop off bus, trains are extremely efficient, the tram takes you to the good swimming beaches, you can walk from the ferry port,
