Food Scene

Amazing, local cafe/coffee shop/restaurant. This tiny cafe has great coffee, on the weekends the best almond and chocolate muffins and on Wednesday evenings free tasting of local wines. It is a real gem! Sit at a table in the cozy interior or in the sun on the street watching the world go by.

We love this American style diner restaurant/bar. They have the most incredible burgers! If you order the burger, make sure to ask for a side of their delicious aioli. Yum! Clarke's is also great for a lazy brunch as well as a post site-seeing drink.

Arts & Culture

Visit the national museum and planetarium for a bit of culture. The museum has an amazing wale exhibition. Sit in the wale booth and listen to the sounds of wales around you whilst looking at a massive, suspended skeleton of a Southern Right Wale. The planetarium is also an awesome thing to do on a rainy day, or if you are looking for something relaxing one evening. There are also shows for children.
