Hi,
we spent 6 months in Singapore last year and lived at river place condo which is directly across the river from Robertson walk.
It is a fab area and certainly not too far out. It is a (hot) walk from Clarke Quay and Boat Quay and there are some great local eating places nearby on River Valley Rd, Mohammed Sultan etc.
The bus route to Orchard Rd is on Clemencau Ave ...
