Take a road trip to Burleigh Falls! It's north of the city and is about a 30 minute drive from the suite (which is located in the north end of the city). It's a great place to go swimming or a short walk to take in the scenery. The trail isn't incredibly long so I would recommend going if you plan to go swimming as well.

It is located downtown on hunter street (less than 10 min drive from the suite). Parking available and they do have an outdoor patio as well.
