Hotels in Southland, New Zealand

Southland is New Zealand's southernmost region, with a cool temperate climate that brings mild summers (around 68°F/20°C) and chilly winters (about 41°F/5°C). It's famous for Fiordland National Park, where you can cruise Milford Sound in summer to see bottlenose dolphins, or chase waterfalls like the 580-foot Stirling Falls. In winter, head to The Catlins for fewer crowds, spotting yellow-eyed penguins at Curio Bay, or join a guided tour of the glowworm caves in Te Anau - the only ones on the planet with this many glowworms.
