Aria On Bank
We had a spacious two bedroom unit and very comfortable. Good shower. A 5 minute walk to the supermarket and restaurants. The lovely botanic Gardens across the road. Bus stop 3 minutes walk.

Baldwin Street BNB
Slightly quirky accommodation, but comfortable enough once you're aware. And it's half way up Baldwin Street! Our arrival instructions & welcome email arrived into my spam box while we were driving to the accommodation - not the fault of the proprietor, but made our arrival tricky...
