Check out the east coast of New Zealand’s Southern Island where the rugged splendour of Clutha’s many landscapes are set to impress.

This unspoiled destination is home to the wonderful wildlife that enjoy the rolling hills and mountains, rocky shores and white-sand beaches of the area. Catch the birdsong of some of the rarest birds of the South, or the sea lions, dolphins and penguins by the sea. Clutha also celebrates its storied gold-mining heritage. The settler spirit burns bright in Lawrence, the site of one of the world’s largest gold rushes.
