Our verdict
We were surprised by just how nice this little town is. It’s so picturesque, both in the lead up to the town and once you are actually here.
We also enjoyed the cooler weather. After four months in the tropics, it has been a nice change. I was worried it might be too cold after reading blogs talking about how freezing it is, but we did not find it that bad. During the day, its shorts and t shirt weather. In the evening, light jackets were fine.
It is definitely worth being a bit pickier with accommodation though to ensure you have somewhere with decent blankets and/or heating.
