 If you are looking for a relaxing gourmet lunch, fragrant coffee, an indulgent sweet treat and an amble through art and craft shops, you will find it all at The Village Green and Jacaranda Manor, both located on the New England Highway at Highfields, just 15 minutes north of Toowoomba.
The Village Green (open 6 days 9am-5pm, closed Tues) has a range of specialty shops selling gifts and accessories, herbal teas, soaps, body care products, jewellery, artworks, distinctive Australian gifts, quilting, craft and scrapbooking supplies and fine handmade chocolate. Perched on the edge of the range, around the lush village green, wander the shops and enjoy a delicious lunch at the Chocolate Cottage while taking in the spectacular escarpment views.
Jacaranda Manor (open 6 days 9am-5pm, closed Wed), across the road, is an enchanting place for all ages. As you wander about, savour the wonderful atmosphere and mingle among artistic and creative people with a real flair and genuine passion for their work. Shops, studios, galleries and a restaurant and open-air café are all set around the quaint Manor Square. Grab a coffee or stay for lunch at La Fresco Café. Oh and don’t forget to sample the delicious fudge.
