Food Scene

Italian restaurant – reasonably priced, very friendly staff. Good for a local meal when you can't be bothered cooking but want something close to home.

Locals rave about this place. Crowded and noisy, but a great place to take kids. It's about a 20min walk from the apartment.

This cafe is only open weekends, but it's a social enterprise supporting refugees. They do a good fish and chips.

This is the 'it' cafe in Kensington and is always really full. Personally I think it's a bit over-rated. Make sure you like eggs, as they pretty serve them with everything!

Sightseeing

Good place to take the kids and it's close by. You can get there by public transport. Take the train from South Kensington to North Melbourne (one stop) then change to the Upfield line.

Parks & Nature

Also a bike trail. The start is marked on this map, but you can walk to it in less that five mins from the apartment. See where the river runs near the bottom of JJ Holland Park – you can walk or cycle in either direction.

Arts & Culture

The Ian Potter Centre exhibits Australian works. Go to the NGV website to find out what's on. I've seen some great exhibitions here.

Essentials

If you want to do a larger shop with better quality than the local Kensington stores, this Woolworths is only a 15–20min walk away.
