Brown trout, country music, and wide open wilderness are three attractions that draw visitors to Southland, and Gore particularly, from near and far. Southland is a diverse region where pristine rivers flow from spectacular mountains, and wilderness adventures are yours for the making. Gore is an ideal escape for anyone wanting to return to nature, to hook a brown trout, or to hoedown with top Kiwi and international country music performers.

When visiting Gore, make sure your accommodation is at the Heartland Hotel Croydon. Set in 13 acres of park-like grounds on the edge of town, you’ll receive a warm welcome and experience true southern hospitality.
