| Places to
Stay & People to Meet |
Todays traveler knows that to really enjoy
a destination you have to meet the people, see the sights &
tackle the activities!
In selecting our recommended bush camps, homesteads,
boutique hotels and resorts we have traveled far & wide to
identify those that meet our high expectations.
Each place should offer stylish accommodation, sometimes
quirky & innovative, at other times luxurious in the classic
sense. They should showcase the regions fresh produce in
cuisine that is guaranteed to please. Local guides must be
available to share their knowledge. There should be lazy
places for time out! Most importantly however, we
recommend places where friendly hosts & colorful characters
will offer you the warmest hospitality. |
