Shopping and the arts too, are well represented here, with plenty of retail therapy on offer and studios and galleries dotted throughout the region, as well as stately gardens and colonial architecture. Get a taste of rural life from one of our many Farm or Home Stays, and if it’s rural hospitality you're after, don’t forget to fit in a visit to one of the many country pubs in the area.
