Food scene
A short drive from the apartment. The food here is to die for and a perfect spot for a special occasion. Everything about this place is top notch and right on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin too. In the summer they also have a casual outdoor bar area where they serve more casual but equally delicious food.
Recommend booking ahead for this place.

Sightseeing
As a tourist you can’t come to Canberra without going to the war memorial. Great to do on a pushy and ride up and down Anzac parade and combine with a ride around Lake Burley Griffin, or with a morning hike up Mount Ainslie.
