In the heart of Hastings George St sits just behind Smugglers Cottage. It is full of antique and independent designer shops , art galleries, bars and restaurants. A must visit for all guests. Try the Dragon Bar for Sunday Lunch and the book shop doubles as a great (booking only) Thai restaurant in the evening. The Albion Pub has live music and great homemade pies.

Great for a relaxed yet excellent meal, which is gourmet pub level. Also has a snug/games room and it’s dog friendly. Good background music and changing art exhibitions too.
