My favourite little Japanese restaurant around! It's a 20 minute walk into Collingwood, or 8 minute ride. Awesome vegan, vegetarian and pescetarian options.

Personally this is my favourite park in Melbourne. Beautiful in all seasons! Just a few minutes walk from the house. Check out Captain Cook's cottage - and there's a cafe if you need a pit stop!
