Join us for a three-day excursion to the beautiful Bega Valley, visiting historic townships, craft works, wineries and coastal beaches.

The first day will be a run down the South Coast and up into the Bega Valley. We will be stopping along the way for coffee and lunch will be in the old historic town of Candelo http://www.candelogeneralstore.com.au/latest-news  where you will have the chance for an exploratory walk around the town.

We will be staying overnight in Merimbula at the Hilcrest Motel. We have rooms reserved at the Hillcrest, a renovated motel perched on a hill boasting views across the waterways of Merimbula.  The property has a pool, tennis court, BBQ’s and a firepit.  Newly-Renovated Resort-Style Hillcrest Merimbula Hotel | Merimbula | Sapphire Coast NSW.  The Summer Vibes sale includes reduced rates for a 2-night stay and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival.
