What a shock to see that Invercargill, our vibrant main hub and New Zealand's southernmost city, seems to have disappeared from the map! But fear not—flights are still landing, our famous Cheese Rolls are piping hot and ready to eat, and the jug is brewing just for you!

You're Due South...and let me tell you, whether we're on the map or not, Invercargill and Southland are absolute must-visits! From the glowing skies of Rakiura Stewart Island and the golden beaches of the Catlins to the charm of Te Anau and the wildness of Fiordland NZ adventure awaits around every corner.

HELLO?! ANYONE OUT THERE?! 🚨🔎 INVERCARGILL HAS VANISHED OFF GOOGLE MAPS.

Just like your left sock in the washing machine—we’ve mysteriously disappeared. So if you’re trying to find us, maybe just type in "That place near Bluff"? 🤷‍♂️

Coincidence we’ve been removed? We think not. 🚫🗺️
For years, we’ve been Southland’s best-kept secret—cheese roll capital, the Burt Munro Challenge, and so much more.

Clearly, Google is trying to gatekeep this paradise—and honestly? Fair enough.

Sun ☀️, sand ⛱️ and ...waterfalls?

You don't have to travel far from the beaches in The Catlins to see the many stunning waterfalls.

Purakaunui Falls, situated in the heart of The Catlins, is a stunning three-tiered waterfall. A walk of less than 20 minutes through the beach forest leads you to this breathtaking sight. It is one of the most photographed waterfalls in New Zealand.
