Have fun exploring the outdoors, especially the scenic Punggol Lake! Whether you are booking the stay to spend time with your kids or friends, you can always go stroll along the lake (with ample space for children to run around!) or rent a bicycle and explore the nature that we often lost touch with after living in the city for too long!

The tents are located just nearby Punggol Container Park, the new hideout for hipsters that is packed with bistros in the cargo containers. So yes, you need not worry about getting hungry staying here! If this is going to be your first time visiting the Punggol Container Park, we recommend you cure your hunger pang at Big Fish Small Fish, where you get to choose from a wide selection of fishes for your fish and chips! Our favourite part of the meal is definitely the salted potato crisps (yes they serve this rather than the usual chips!) that also comes with free-flow sauces like cheese, salted egg, XO Mayo, to name a few.
Wake up early in the morning the next day to start your day early! Do some light exercises and breathe in the freshness of the air early in the morning to wake up your body. Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the minibar packed with cold drinks and snacks specially prepared for you!

- Park Avenue Changi
The good thing about a staycation is that we need not always choose a centrally located hotel. Instead, this might be the best chance for us to explore the most far end of Singapore that we may not usually be familiar with! Now you can imagine how excited we were when we got to know about this staycation deal at Park Avenue Changi!

Another place that you can explore is Singapore Expo. Keep a lookout for the events and activities going on during your stay.
