The Motheo region proudly hosts a plethora of things to do and see for families, senior travellers and backpackers alike.

Architecture of the area is renown and is turning a brave contemporary face at present with the rise of a new guard of architects. They follow in the footsteps of the great Sir Herbert Baker, prolific in this area with sandstone buildings.

Museums for every occasion are to be found. Toys, natural history, rugby, Victorian houses, fire engines, sports greats, the boer war, ammunition and even literature can be found on the museum trail. For nature enthusiasts, this is Eden, botanical gardens, orchid houses, game parks and cave art, you’ll have to come back!

Children relish in the art galleries, the zoo, parks, nurseries and miniature trains while parents can shop up a storm in markets, malls, craft shops and tea gardens. Make time to explore, it’s worth it!
