Company Info

Your hosts Mike and Jan have a wealth of local knowledge that they love to share with their guests. Southland's wealth is built on a robust farming history with sheep, deer and cows being the prime producers.

Invercargill City, the southernmost and westernmost city in New Zealand, is centrally located for you to explore Stewart Island, Catlins Coast and the Fiordland area. This picturesque region boasts a number of unique things to see and do. Whether you want to comb miles of pristine beaches, cruise on the great lakes, ski down the scenic slopes, get an up-close look at yellow-eyed penguins, fish for our famous trout or try the world famous Bluff Oyster, this area has something for everyone. We are only too happy to help you with your itinerary while in the south.
