In the state of New South Wales, Australia, visitors will locate a very small tree-town known as Kangaroo Valley. The term tree-town applies to places which, though not too far from the city, are yet removed enough to possess a tranquil feel. Residents may include celebrities who make this their get away from Sydney or Canberra, both just two hours away. In spite of its small population (less than four hundred residents), Kangaroo Valley and surrounding parts supply plenty of facilities for tourists to explore.
Accommodations include many Kangaroo Valley cottages, bed and breakfast or guest house options. Some boast pools, while others focus on tending an attractive and carefully appointed garden where guests can relax with a cup of tea or a pair of binoculars. Think of something you want from lodging, such as spa treatments or gourmet food, and expect to find it here.
One option includes staying right where you aim to play, minimizing travel time while optimizing rest between games. Choose a golf club resort featuring eighteen holes plus tennis and a pool in case golfing starts to bore you. Stay put for a fine meal too. This venue offers a great spot for business meetings or a retreat for dad.
One wild attraction is the bass available to reel in: say cheese, this is your photo opportunity. Catch big fish at Tallowa Dam or Kangaroo River thanks to your own great sense of direction and understanding of the habits of bass. On the other hand, book a guide to be on the safe side.
Hire a kayak or canoe for a few hours or arrange a guided camping tour, suitable for kids two years old and up. Their young eyes may spot a wombat before you do, so be sure to credit their claim: wombats frequent this valley. Certain vessels running on flat water offer wheelchair access. For those who like land better than water, hire a bike and take to the trails or hop in the saddle for a horseback ride.Visit our website for some Kangaroo Valley attractions ideas.
Pioneer Park Museum displays artifacts from a vanished era. Show kids the bush school so as to contrast its few bare necessities with the luxuries modern schools provide. Mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century displays include an old dairy and saddlery. Kids may get a thrill from the swinging bridge that leads to bush walks along reserve land. Another area attraction is the spectacular amphitheatre built from sandstone.
Yarrawa Estate Vineyard makes award wining wines. Sample their Walnut Sweet Wine, Chambourcin or Semillon. Afterwards, stop in at a cafe or restaurant serving Mediterranean fare, or even a fudge house. Be sure to stop at the local olive growers for some tangy tasters, though perhaps you should start with olives and move on to fudge after.
Kangaroo Valley supplies a popular venue for weddings. Lush scenery and proximity to city centres make it a convenient spot. Tranquility adds to its charm. Choose from garden or historic settings, indoor or outdoor festivities, and facilities to accommodate small or very large wedding parties. Guests remaining after the bride and groom have departed for far off adventures may wish to tour art galleries or do some celebrity spotting.
