Agritourism Itineraries

Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular because many city dwellers have realised that getting back to nature and a break from the hustle and bustle of the city can be pretty therapeutic. A visit to Southland would feel incomplete without some agritourism experiences thrown into the mix. 

What will you do? Stay at a paddock-to-plate farmstay? Then wake up to feed some cute and fluffy alpacas? Want to learn more about farm animals?

Wonder if it could be your thing? Rural Southland is your answer! There’s also some feisty whip-cracking! And so much more ... get planning now, and let the rural adventures begin!
