Our spacious room with king bed and kitchen area was a delight for our two night stay. A 10 minute walk to the downtown octagon meant restaurants, galleries and shops were very nearby. We walked to all galleries, museums and sights. One note: if you want to see the blue penguin colony, book a visit in advance of your arrival!
