The landscape bordering Invercargill is rich and fertile offering a great location for farming and the surrounding area is also home to many conservation parks and marine reserves.  It provides easy access to Fiordland National Park.  Invercargill also houses the only indoor Velodrome in the country for the enjoyment of visitors to the city with interests in the sport of cycling.

After a steady decline in the population, in 2001 the Southern Institute of Technology began a zero fee scheme programme offering New Zealand residents the opportunity to study with no fees.  This scheme has seen the population increase with many young families and students opting to take advantage of the free education.

The weather in Invercargill varies and the city sometimes experiences some of the highest winds, second only to Wellington, the most cloud days in the country and rainy, crisp temperatures throughout the year.  In December Invercargill can enjoy over 16 hours of daytime in one day.

Today tourists and visitors admire the inner city upgrades that now houses modern facilities with upmarket bars and restaurants and quaint local cafes and bakeries.  The character of the city is still boosted by the heritage buildings that are mingled with the modern facade.  You can take the opportunity to admire the history of the area in the museum and art galleries.  Also enjoy some outdoor activities with many parks and bush reserves offering the perfect backdrop for strolls and picnics.
