Its central location, helpful staff, dormitory, double and camping options make it the choice for travelers wanting to get to know the area. There are many ways to enjoy the wine lands from driving yourself, cycling, taking a tour to pub crawling the night away in this lively university town. Many restaurants within walking distance and an abundance of entertainment from movies to diamond buying to curio shopping. Horse riding, mountain biking, strawberry picking, brandy tasting and awesome wine estates peppered with fresh fruit from farms in this incredibly fertile, mountainous region.Nightlife is abundant with live music and theatre from rock to opera interspersed among the many venues.
