Attractions and Hotels Near Waikawa
Can't keep those feet still? If you're furiously nodding in agreement, then set off and discover a few of the highlights of the wider Southland region. The area is home to some incredible beaches, coastal plains, forests and rivers. After staring slack-jawed at nature's masterpieces, take a look around popular tourist attractions like old towns. Fun-loving travellers can also have a go at popular pursuits like mountain biking, mountain climbing and hiking.
Want more options? Live it up like a rockstar in Bluff (just try not to wreck the joint). Sitting 60 kilometres away and home to the Stirling Point and The Lighthouse Gallery, it's bound to be a trip to remember! The Lands End Boutique Hotel and Bluff Ocean Vista Motel are just some of the long and short-stay options here. Alternatively, you could stay in Gore, 60 kilometres to the north of Waikawa, where you'll find the Heartland Hotel Croydon and Esplanade Motels. The Hokonui Moonshine Museum and the Gore Historical Museum are among the more popular attractions to experience while in Gore.
Travel 60 kilometres northwest and you'll come across Invercargill, a regional centre with a population of 47,000. While you're exploring this neck of the woods, whip out your camera and get your tourist on at Surrey Park, the Bill Richardson Transport World and Demolition World. Why not also see what's on offer at Turnbull Thompson Park and the Invercargill Cenotaph? The Quest Invercargill Serviced Apartments and Victoria Railway Hotel are a few of recommended accommodations in Invercargill.
Unless you're planning to set up camp at Invercargill Airport, it might be wise to book some accommodation before you fly. The Ibis Styles Invercargill is close by, or you could always travel to the centre of town. It's 65 kilometres away.
