About Invercargill

 The city of Invercargill is to be found at the bottom of the south island, and is the capital of Southland, a flourishing farming community. Invercargill’s known for its lack of hustle or bustle and quality of life.

The city is predominately flat, making walking easy, the elevated sites to the south of the city provide almost unobstructed views of the Takitimu Mountains to the north and Mt Anglem, on Stewart Island, to the south. Being so far south, Invercargill has long daylight hours in summer, which allows more time to explore the Victorian and Edwardian architecture and other heritage buildings that add to the city’s character.

Being on the coast, there are many safe beaches and excellent fishing, and Invercargill acts as the gateway for some of the south island’s scenic treasures; Stewart Island, Fiordland and the Catlins.
