Southland's temperate climate makes it a year-round destination for villa holidays, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences. If you enjoy warm weather and long days, summer (December to February) is the perfect time to experience the region at its peak. With average highs of 22°C, it's an ideal time for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and water sports. However, if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting during autumn (March to May) or spring (September to November), when the weather is still mild and the scenery is particularly beautiful.
If you don't mind cooler temperatures, winter (June to August) can be a great time to visit Southland if you're looking for peaceful villages, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Many of our villas are located in areas that offer stunning views of the Southern Lights, making it a unique experience for those who stay during this period. Regardless of when you visit, we have villas available to suit your needs and preferences, so you can enjoy the best of Southland throughout the year.
