In need of a first date idea? Or want something different than your usual night out? If you are stuck for ideas we’ve got you covered with unique ideas for dates and fun activities to do in the capital that are sure to impress your other half.
Glamping
Stay at the cubby house of your dreams at the Naked Cubby Co at Mount Majura Vineyard. Isolated above the vineyard, the large tent suited for two is the perfect short getaway for couples. Designed for you to switch off, unwind and enjoy your natural surroundings all you need is provided, a bed, books, board games (and wine). There are different packages to choose from, including dinner from The Boathouse and a breakfast hamper from the Three Mills Bakery. Or you can go simple and bring a romantic picnic dinner for two.
Lunch Boat Ride
Hire out a GoBoat and enjoy Canberra by water. Pack a picnic lunch and steer the boat around Lake Burley Griffin for the ultimate day time date. We suggest stopping at Amici Wine Bar & Deli in the city beforehand and picking up a bottle of wine and one of their exceptional charcuterie boards.
