Living and working in Southland
Invercargill and the surrounding area is a remarkable place - home to pristine rainforests, fertile farmlands, and sweeping coastlines. Southlanders are welcoming and generous, and you will find a strong sense of manaakitanga and an inclusive and increasingly diverse community. Southland also offers affordable housing, good schools, and arguably some of the best surf beaches in New Zealand, and it is a short 2.5 hour drive to Queenstown.
