Our first visit to HK en route to Sydney. We stayed on Lantau Island which is where the airport is located and is either a short drive or a ferry ride over the HK central. We stayed at the Auberge in Discovery bay. 
The hotel didn't disappoint, a great room with a shower that had panoramic views over the 
bay.
Discovery Bay itself is a lovely place. Feels a bit like a Sunny/Asian version of Clapham with lots of young'ish European professionals and young families. Not the frantic HK that we expected. We stay in HK itself on the way back.
