Hillside university area with views, reached by cable car. Quiet and safe. Good if you want peaceful accommodation away from the center with cable car access.
Up on the hillside above the city center, accessible by cable car. Victoria University is here, so it has a student area feel during term time. The cable car from Lambton Quay goes to the university and Botanic Garden - easier than walking up the steep hills. Campus cafes and coffee carts are affordable during term. Residential streets have harbor views and feel safe. Gets quiet in evenings and weekends when students leave. No nightlife, but cable car gets you to Cuba Street in 10 minutes. Main reason to stay here is quiet hillside setting with views, if you don't mind being away from the center.
