Visitor Information

VISITOR CENTRE

We are the experts on the South and can help you make the most of your time, whatever your interests may be. By booking ahead we can ensure you don’t miss out on a thing – and we can also help you keep your eyes open to catch the free experiences.

You are already a day ahead of the world … and if you’re in Southland in summer you can be up hours before the rest of the country and go to bed hours later – it’s called twilight and it goes on for ever –  well almost – so make the most of it.
