"Separated from the water by a generally quiet road, a park and a bayside promenade, this resort is a pleasant 15-minute stroll from the Night Market and the main shopping and dining area."

"Close enough to enjoy the spoils of the Big Smoke (it's a 15-min drive from the CBD) but far enough to revel in rainforesty repose, this spot overlooks the aptly named Lake Placid."
