Southland & Fiordland Region



Discover Southland and Fiordland

With unmatched regional beauty, world-class facilities and famous southern hospitality and fare, Invercargill city and the wider Southland region is the perfect location to share with your conference delegates or incentive groups.

As New Zealand’s ultimate nature and wildlife destination, our dramatic scenery spans pristine rainforests, fertile farmlands and rugged coastlines. Offering an abundance of hiking trails, cycling routes, fishing spots, classic motoring, the world-famous Bluff oyster, and the region’s iconic cheese roll, Southland has something for you!

But it’s not just the outdoors that makes Southland the perfect destination, the region’s gateway, Invercargill has been rebuilding itself to become the urban centre it deserves to be. From a multi-faceted centre comprising of retail, food and beverage offerings, office space and apartments, and new hotel.

The potential of what the future holds for Invercargill strengthens the region’s compelling argument that conference organisers, delegates and industry representatives can have the time of their lives in the great south. This is cemented by the diverse venues, professional services, warm hospitality and incredible pre and post conference activities on offer.

On Waihōpai Invercargill’s doorstep, you’ll discover the wild beauty and primeval nature of Rakiura Stewart Island where kiwi wander freely, and blue cod caught on the glistening water is transformed into a mouth-watering, gourmet treat. Visit Rakiura Stewart Island for the day by ferry or helicopter from Motupōhue Bluff or fly from Waihōpai Invercargill, but we recommend staying a day or three!

Te Rua-o-Te-Moko Fiordland, our main incentive destination offers conferencing facilities in the picturesque Te Anau township. Marvel at the wonder that is Te Rua-o-te-Moko Fiordland as awe-inspiring sights rise-up around you, then kick back with some 
fine-dining Te Anau style. Visitors from all over the world visit Fiordland to see the natural icons of Piopiotahi Milford Sound and Patea Doubtful Sound by air or boat, or to hike one of the area’s Great Walks.

Join us for a visit to explore and experience all that can be found in our region.
