Northern and Central Southland are real rural New Zealand, districts of vast plains rising to rugged mountain ranges.

The area is filled with home and farm stays, where locals invite visitors to really “get amongst it”. Day tours are also popular with those looking to experience all aspects of farming.

Also found in central Southland near Winton is Tikana Lodge which provides luxury accommodation and day spa facilities for those wanting truly pampered during the visit to the heart of Southland.
