My personal favourite spot to grab some Italian food in a relaxed that atmospheric setting. Their pizza is incredible - try the Salerno or Bacinis Special! If you're in a 'stay at home mood', give them a call and your pizza will be ready for collection within 15-20 minutes (pay upon collection).

Rock and roll, culturally clued up, good looking people and a great night out with a large bar and tight atmosphere that often spills out into the streets. Think dark light, mid to late twenties upwards, usually picking up from 11:00pm.

Parks & Nature

If you are even the least bit outdoors inclined, then Lionshead is an absolute must do & see. Standing in front of your doorway you will capture a full view of The Lion. Starting from the base parking lot, I would allocate 1.5-2hrs for the full hike up and down, and be sure to take some water and treats along. Trail Runners looking to tackle this peak for training purposes will be happy to know that you can jog the majority of the way up, with the exception of the final summit push including two ladders and a set of staples.
