While the City hosts an abundance of peaceful natural experiences perfect for relaxing and unwinding, it is also an adrenaline junkies paradise.

There’s nothing better than going for a pleasant stroll on the weekend or to end a day at work. In Lake Macquarie you can walk along the coast, amongst calming bushland or alongside our namesake lake. 

Fine dining is one thing, but what about those days when you just crave something sweet? Fear not – there are a myriad of bakeries, patisseries, cafes and ice-creameries dotted across Lake Mac to help sate that sugary desire.
