Food scene

Great spot a short walk from the house for coffee and breakfast. Plenty of outdoor seating in beautiful Ripponlea Village. If you leave the property and turn right there is a small alleyway which can get you there in minutes.

The cutest cinema imaginable. Local independent cinema with amazing popcorn and choctops, a rooftop cinema and even a little jazz/comedy room. Go on Tuesdays for super cheap tickets. On a nice night head up to the rooftop at sunset to enjoy a drink with stunning bay views.
