Curio Bay Hotel & Travel Guide
At present, Travelocity's extensive New Zealand booking portal doesn't feature a single place to sleep in the vicinity of Curio Bay.
Or, just 110 miles (183 kilometers) from Curio Bay there's Queenstown, which has extra Travelocity places to base your adventures. These include Matakauri Lodge and Eichardt's Private Hotel.
Would you like to head out of the center? South Island offers many beautiful attractions worth seeing. Spend time at South Island's old towns and cathedrals. Visitors should also take the time to relish the region's beaches, coastal plains, forests and rivers. Bold travelers can also involve themselves in snowboarding in this part of New Zealand.
35 miles (59 kilometers) from Curio Bay, you'll find Invercargill, where visitors can enjoy Civic Theatre and Anderson Park. If you'd like to stay in Invercargill, be sure to check out the Tower Lodge Motel and ASURE Townsman Motor Lodge. 40 miles (62 kilometers) north of Curio Bay, you can also stay at Gore, which features the Heartland Hotel Croydon and Esplanade Motels. The Hokonui Moonshine Museum and Gore Historical Museum are some of the most frequented sites to explore in Gore.
Before saying your farewells to South Island, ensure you are able to see some local sport. Swing by Rugby Park Stadium, which you will find to the northwest of Curio Bay. Travelocity readers that enjoy the ease of locating a hotel close to the action, reserve a room in the Balmoral Lodge Motel or Colonial on Tay.
Invercargill Airport can be found 40 miles (63 kilometers) outside Curio Bay's downtown. Enlightened visitors who would like to find accommodation nearby can book a room at the Ibis Styles Invercargill or Bella Vista Motel Invercargill.
