The cable car is a 3 minute walk from our house and will get you down to the CBD and the waterfront area. The Cable Car Museum at the Kelburn stop is also well worth a visit. Or we recommend walking down to the city through the Botanic Garden and save your legs by getting the cable car home!

A great place for walking, biking, scooting and swimming. All year the Parade is lit by lights in the majestic norfolk pine trees and during Xmas/New Year the trees are decked in red and green lights. Well worth a stroll as the sun sets and the lights come on.
