Southland is the most southern and western region of New Zealand and boasts some of the most distinctive landscapes in the country, ranging from high alpine mountains and glaciers to intensively farmed lush grasslands on rolling plains. Farming, forestry and horticulture form the region's economic base, but Southland also has a diversity of manufacturing for export.
It is one of the fastest growing tourist regions in New Zealand due to its unspoilt nature and wide recognition of it being a place to restore the soul.
Southland's people reflect their heritage through their energy, expertise and warmth of heart. This is the gateway to Southland, where it's time.
