Parks & Nature
The iconic beach where Jane Campion shot the Piano (winner Palm d'or). The drive is a bit hairy though especially if you aren't used to very narrow windy roads, so I can provide a driver if need be.

Sightseeing
The walk from the apartment to Jacob's ladder takes you along St Mary's Road where you can visit the Ley's institute library and also the old fire station (now a good cafe called Mary's). The old ladder has now been replaced with a flash air bridge connecting St. Mary's bay to the beautiful harbour. In 15mins you can be at the promenade having traversed Jacob's ladder.
