Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary
Walk to Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary. Enter through the main entrance and visit the Nature House to see interpretive exhibits. Then step onto the boardwalk to walk the loop around the lake, watching the golden light reflect off the marshlands.

Head to Green Cuisine for dinner. Order from the buffet of 100% vegan dishes. It is a generous, affordable meal that is perfect after a walk.

Finish the evening at Lucky Bar. It is small and affordable, making it a calm spot to wind down after dinner.
Local tip
The Nature House is closed on statutory holidays. If you visit on a weekday, it opens at 8:30 AM, but on weekends it opens at noon. Plan your morning walk accordingly if you want to see the exhibits before the boardwalk walk.
