Noel's place was lovely, exactly as listed - very comfortable and with everything that you could possible need. Noel was always ready to help out when we needed him. Newport is a nice, quiet suburb with some good cafes and a very good 'gastro' pub. Trains into town are a 10 minute walk away. They run very frequently and take about 15 minutes to the CBD. Williamstown ( an historic seaport) and Yarraville ( lovely village atmosphere and an art deco cinema) are also very close.
