David welcomed us as we arrived, he had stocked the fridge with milk, coffee and some fruit which was a lovely touch. The room was big and roomy, had a heater and the bed was lux and comfy. Huge modern bathroom with hairdryer. It was a home away from home.
Collingwood is hip with loads of small bars and restruatans - Americana food and Japanese was the main focus on Smith St. Shopping was also good, vintage store, homewares, furniture all on your doorstep but if looking for brands stick to the city.
We had breakfast at Proud Mary's and also at All Press coffee cafe, both walking distance.
