The waterfront which is just a couple of minutes from the loft is a treasure trove of attractions. There are many great restaurants including my favourite sushi spot, Willoughby and co in the mall and live music venues, a fantastic Aquarium and a permanent market with African goods. If you are into high End brands, you can shop for most things at the Waterfront.
