Invercargill is Southland's principal centre and the country's southernmost city. It is known for its elegant old department stores and wide, easy-to-navigate streets.
Local food specialties include Bluff Oysters and blue cod. The museum has a tuatara house and an excellent exhibition about New Zealand’s subantarctic islands.
The first part of your journey takes you up the Oreti River, through a series of rural settlements. After Lumsden, the scenery becomes gradually more alpine.
Enjoy a break in Kingston, the home of a remarkable vintage steam train. From here, the road clings to the edge of Lake Wakatipu nearly all the way to Queenstown.
The alpine resort of Queenstown is exciting, sophisticated and fantastically scenic. It's the place to source almost any kind of adventure, including bungy, jet boating, horse trekking, rafting and river surfing.
It's also a destination for luxury experiences—gourmet food and wine, spa treatments and leisurely games of golf. In winter Queenstown becomes a cool ski town. In summer it's warm and golden.
