Gore

Gore is the official home of country music in New Zealand and is also known for great fly fishing – or maybe you'd rather go flying in a Tiger Moth!
Situated on the banks of the Mataura River in central Southland, Gore’s central location makes it an ideal base to explore the best of Southland, as well as coastal and Central Otago. It is readily accessible by main highways from Dunedin, Invercargill, Te Anau, Queenstown and Alexandra and is proud to be New Zealand’s southernmost motorhome friendly town. Famous for Hokonui moonshine, fly fishing and country music, Gore has plenty more to entice visitors to stay a while. Walkers and mountain bikers will enjoy the tracks and trails in and surrounding Dolamore Park, art lovers will be amazed by the collections at the Eastern Southland Gallery and it’s a garden lover’s delight.
