This is a great place to explore Northcote and surrounds. The house is located near Westgarth station and the High Street on Northcote, with the Westgarth Palace cinema around the corner. The High Street has a number of small bars (Merri Creek Tavern, Joes Shoe Store, Buck Mulligans) that are quirky, personable and quite unique. At the Merri Creek you might hear some Devo, at Joe's Shoe Store Spanish synth pop from the 80 and 90's, at Buck Mulligan's you will be able to get an amazing whisky, whilst perusing Irish literature. The suburb is quite charming in a really relaxed way and is springboard to surrounding suburbs such as Fitzroy and Brunswick which get more of the action. I really enjoyed the area and found myself heading out in the morning, with plenty to do until I was ready to crash. Andrea provided a great breakfast with some useful tips of the local area.
