It was all good….no dislikes at all. Views great and a good way for poor sailors. Staff very helpful with fragile goods which was appreciated

A great variation in scenery and some special places. We recommend Cosy Nook, Surat Bay, Curio Bay, Gemstone Beach, and the waterfalls.

From Invercargill to Dunedin this route follows the south east corner of New Zealand's south island. Take your time and soak in the sheer beauty of the surrounding countryside. Stop and relax for a while at any of the towns along the way. The views are breathtaking

This was a fabulous trip. We started in Dunedin and made our way to Queenstown via the Southern Scenic Route. Every stop was a pleasure...quiet walks along spectacular cliffs in the Catlins, friendly people at every turn, great cafes, beautiful lakes, incredible mountains. You MUST take this drive!

Well worth the extra hours of drive time, the southern scenic route is well marked and gives access to amazing (and somewhat less frequently visited) parts of New Zealand. Particularly enjoyed the Nuggets and Gemstone Beach.

Yes, take the detour and cut through the Catlins: if you're from the UK think mid Wales. Great roads for motorbikes, too.

This route encompasses the entire southern third of the South Island. From Dunedin to Queenstown there are many places to stop, see and stay along the way.

I never get over how beautiful New Zealand is and this drive is one that shows off a great deal of that beauty. Well worth doing but be sure to leave time for lots of stops as the scenery is breathtaking
