The large front deck has an outdoor lounge suite, while the back terrace offers an outdoor table and chairs perfect for al fresco dining on those warm summer evenings.

There's also an access road from this reserve that allows parking for boats and vehicles inside the lockable back gate at The Lake House Garden. It's just a three-minute walk, or one-minute drive, down to the safe swimming and boating beach at Mission Bay.
