Peppers Seaport Hotel

As well as a balcony, your room has a private bathroom and there are even bathrobes thrown in. For a surcharge it is possible to book cribs and extra beds. If you have an aversion to tobacco smoke, you will be pleased to learn that it is a smoke-free hotel. You also won’t find any pets either. Should you need any laundry doing, or even dry cleaning, this is available, as is housekeeping. There is a hotel safe available to guests, a computer station, a bar and lounge, and the business centre has meeting rooms if it is your work which brings you here. As far as transport is concerned, parking is available for a surcharge, as is an area shuttle service to take you up to 16 km away.

When you get hungry, Mudbar and Restaurant can be found on the ground floor of Peppers Seaport Hotel, where there is a choice of cuisine from all over the world and quite an enviable wine list. Whether you prefer to eat indoors or al fresco, the restaurant makes either option viable all year round. In addition, several restaurants and other eateries can be found in the course of a brief stroll in the surrounding area.

It is certainly tempting to spend the whole time soaking in the view of the old town, the river and the marina, all nestling peacefully among the mountains, but there is plenty to see in the area. For example, Royal Park is practically on the doorstep and Cataract Gorge is less than three kilometres away, and if you are an art buff, the Queen Victoria Museum and 1842 Gallery are within a 15-minute walk.
