coffee/breakfast
spots we like within walking distance for the early bird.
The best coffee and the worst service. Like the soup Nazi off Sienfield.. A 7 minute walk. Open before anyone else. Seriously the best and weirdly the cheapest. We get take aways.

Excellent coffee! Best service!
Breakfast is always absolutely fantastic. This is an amazing organisation who train people in need to have cafe skills for the working world. Locals also drop off supplies/groceries for the community in need, to help themselves to. I highly recommend this place. its a 1 minute walk away.

City advice
Getting around
Uber, City buses and boats for getting around.
You can walk to everything you need and more. If you are able the city bikes and the Neuron scooters are excellent. I highly recommend the city cat boat service , the terminal are everywhere and it is so scenic.
