The waterfront is a shopping mall 5 minutes away. It offers an array of shops for essential, grocery, home living, clothes. The mall has an open air structure, so it's lovely to walk around. There's a wide artificial pond, with a nice park around it. Overlooking the waterfront there's many restaurants and Cafe's. Cjs is one of my favourite spot for luxury breakfast and brunches
