    The room was very nice and in walking distance to the beach. The host, Vanessa, was very lovely and always available for questions but also gave us space even though we lived in the same house. Public transport to the city is closeby.

 New Brighton Beach / hot pools / Pier/shops/ supermarket/ bars/whale pool/ library/ Thompson Park are a 10-15 minute away, simply head out the front door and follow your nose east to beach. The shops are not very exciting although good markets are held on Saturday mornings. There are a few bars and restaurants, Salt on the Pier is recommended, Spagalimis Pizza, and Indian and Mexican restaurants along the beach front, and a funky café down the opposite end of New Brighton towards Pizza Hut. There are also several fish n chip shops if you just want to sit on the beach with fish n chips (and get harassed by the seagulls)!  QE2 swimming complex is 5 minutes’ walk north west, near a small group of shops, chemist, bottle store, garage, hairdressers, medical centre on the roundabout. Complex behind the construction site.  The Bower Container Restaurant and Tavern is on the corner of Bower Ave and New Brighton Road 5-10 minutes walk away. They have an indoor and outdoor area, pool table and live music on some occasions.  The Palms Shopping Centre and Reading Cinemas is a 15 minute bus ride towards Shirley, or a 30 minute walk along the river.
