Move to Southland

At the risk of skiting.....

Here's the thing. We are the nation's soaring regional economy. We have New Zealand's most affordable homes. The full range from basic to luxury, but at half the price of Auckland's.

We keep creating jobs - many, many hundreds of jobs - that our population cannot fill.

We have work here, and lots of it, and with more discretionary income left over for your leisure or other priorities.

In short, we love this place.

A green, beautiful region that's New Zealand at its most bountiful, with magnificant natural playgrounds all within easy travelling.

The man-made infrastructure will surprise you.

We have built recreational facilities envied nationwide, due in no small part to a system of community funding trusts that no other province can match.

The weather's a tad cooler, to the extent that we know how to cosy up when the need arises, but it's so often bright, clear, and inviting that the outdoors beckon irresistibly.

We can't put more hours in your day but we can ofer a lot more choice in how to use them.

There's a life to be lived down here.
