The Southern Highlands has beautiful green rolling hills, lots of animals to be seen.
Experience four distinct seasons:
Winter - We have beautiful cold winters - perfect for enjoying a glass of wine by the many open fireplaces.
Spring - see the stunning gardens of the Southern Highlands come to life - including the local tulip festival.
Summer offers an opportunity to see the vineyards in full swing, and cool down with some of the brewed beers. Great for Christmas.
