Location
Jonker Street, the main artery of Malacca's Chinatown, is the nearest landmark, with its weekend night market, antique shops and clan houses. Across the river, St Paul's Hill rises behind the Dutch Square, topped by the ruins of St Paul's Church, with the Porta de Santiago gate of A Famosa at its foot.
All of this is within walking distance, and the riverside path is close for an evening stroll.
