While only the front few apartments have full-on views, the Peninsula's waterfront location lends itself to lazy ferry rides and sunset strolls along the riverbank (swimming beach, bike track, fastidiously mown lawns). It's a sprawling, older-style, parchment-coloured complex, but it's kept in good nick. The apartments all have kitchenette and there's a communal laundry.
