Similar to Manley in Sydney, it is a beautiful coastal suburb, located at the bottom of the North coast. It's fast and relaxing to take a ferry to downtown. Not exactly "scenic spots", but some very good places for walking, including dormant volcanoes, historic gun positions and tunnels, parks and safe beaches. There are some beautiful Victorian and Edwardian residential buildings. There are many good cafes. The restaurant is OK, but not particularly good.
