Local favourites in New Zealand

"There’s no better place to hang in summer if you’re a local than at Queen’s Park Gardens. Located in the centre of Invercargill and right next to the museum and art gallery, this is the place to catch up with friends and kick a ball around."

"Invercargill’s favourite swimming spot since the mid 19th Century, Waihopai River is the place to be seen in the summer if you’re a local. Swim, boat, dive and swing (on a tree rope), you can do it all at this amazing place."
