The Great Lakes is a region defined by water; how it interacts with spaces, places and people. Gaining its name from its unique triple lakes system, the region is a nature lover's paradise full of family friendly adventures, and spectacular events.
This beautiful part of the coast is a blend of great places to stay, eat and shop coupled with perfect beaches, dazzling lakes, national parks and wide expanses of forest broken up with historic rural hinterland.
Add to this enough activities to fill a year, from adventure thrills such as diving or mountain biking, to kayaking quiet lakes as the sun sets, trekking through ancient palm forests, whale watching, deep sea fishing, surfing, or just relaxing and your holiday is complete.
