Invercargill
With its elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, gardens and landscaped parks, surrounded by lush, green pastoral lands, which are among the richest in the country.
Southland boasts large areas of near-pristine rainforest, ideal for day walks and hiking.
A half-hour drive south from Invercargill is the fishing port of Bluff, home to the famous Bluff oyster and a lively annual seafood festival. From Bluff, visitors can catch a ferry to Stewart Island - a haven for native bird life and the only place in New Zealand where you can readily see kiwi in their natural habitat.

Where better to host Rugby World Cup 2011 than in New Zealand, the spiritual home of Rugby. And where better to see the matches than in a grass-roots stadium in a country where Rugby is a way of life.
