1. Quest Albury on Townsend<\/h2>\n

With an onsite restaurant and a tapas bar and spa next door, you don\u2019t have to travel far for excellent holiday options.<\/p>\n Business owner and avid fisherman Noel Wood is happy to share his knowledge of fishing hotspots with visitors \u2013 \u201cnot the exact location, but near enough to get a nibble\u201d \u2013 while his wife Madeleine is enamoured with the town\u2019s abundant art and cultural offerings.<\/p>\n Her favourite is the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk<\/a>, which winds between bird-filled lagoons and river curves and features contemporary sculptures by local Aboriginal artists.<\/p>\n Speak to Quest Albury on Townsend franchisees, Noel and Madeline.<\/p><\/div>\n The gateway to Sydney\u2019s North Shore, Chatswood is a vibrant urban hub buzzing with multicultural sights, sounds and tastes.

Quest Chatswood<\/a> franchisee and architectural buff Carlos Del Rosario also loves the significant buildings and landmarks nearby, especially Rose Seidler House, an outstanding example of modernist design and now a living museum. \u201cIt\u2019s like walking back into the 1950s,\u201d says Carlos.<\/p>\n Nature seekers can take the Railway to River Walk<\/a> through tall trees and Lane Cove National Park back to the time when Chatswood was known as Chattie\u2019s Wood.

(Image: Destination NSW)<\/p><\/div>\n Local knowledge can be key to a stay, and even life-changing for some. Quest Penrith franchisee Phil Willey recounts the story of a team member who recommended iFly’s All Abilities indoor skydiving<\/a> to an eight-year-old in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen he came back and said, \u2018Thanks for giving me wings, it took me from the chair to air\u2019 it was an eye watering moment,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Quest Penrith is perfectly located for sports fans.<\/p><\/div>\n In the beautiful Shoalhaven<\/a> on the south coast, and just a short stroll to the centre of town, Quest Nowra<\/a> is a fabulous base from which to explore a place where time moves slowly.<\/p>\n Tasty treats abound: perhaps visit a winery, try a goat curry from the local Indian restaurant, sample craft brews from The Old Salt Distillery<\/a>, or indulge in a Cherubs 3<\/a> cookies and cream megashake that Quest Nowra franchisee Edith Del Rosario says \u201cwill change your life\u201d.<\/p>\n There\u2019s much to amuse kids too, from splashing at Falls Creek waterfall<\/a>, beach visits or exploring historic Merribee<\/a> garden estate. You can also stretch your legs on Bens Walk<\/a>, a 5.5-kilometre riverside walking track, to lighten your mental load and get some exercise to boot.<\/p>\n Visit a local winery and enjoy the spoils on your balcony.<\/p><\/div>\n Centrally located in town, Quest Wagga Wagga<\/a> offers a relaxing stay in the heart of the Riverina<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can lounge around the pool and barbeque area or explore further afield, perhaps strolling among native vegetation around Wollundry Lagoon<\/a>, an important spiritual place for local Indigenous people. You can also visit the 22-acre Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens<\/a>, browse through local boutiques along tree-lined streets, or visit nearby wineries.<\/p>\n Art lovers are well catered for at the innovative Wagga Wagga Art Gallery<\/a>, also home to the Margaret Carnegie Print Collection and the National Art Glass Collection.
