With its cool climate, colonial heritage, waterfalls, reservoirs, and luxury hill-country resorts, Hatton is a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers. It is also an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions such as Castlereagh Reservoir, Devon Falls, and St. Clair's Falls.
