There are a lot of birds to be seen on the property and in the Forest Park next door, so birdwatching is a favourite pastime - especially sitting on a verandah overlooking the lake! Bushwalking trails are close by with waterfalls and forest pools for picnics, BBQ’s and swimming.

Volleyball and petanque can be played on the court opposite the Recreation Room - sunset competitions are a regular event.
