Manuka is located in the heart of the inner south of Canberra and is one of the city's premier residential addresses. Nearby Lake Burley Griffin provides the basis for sailing, wind surfing and ferry rides. Joggers, rollerbladers, walkers and cyclists regularly use its shoreline. People picnic by it, cruise on it and hire all sorts of small craft to just paddle across it. The lake is a great spot for fun and recreation. The suburbs surrounding the Manuka area are some of the most beautiful and most prestigious suburbs in Canberra. Consequently, Manuka is very unique not only for its village like atmosphere but also its locality.
