I'm here in invercargil now... it's gorgeous, the amount if beautiful buildings and the big Queen park.wide streets and lots of hype & life on the streets. Lovely place.
@@Halfbreed-ig3by haha yes . I found myself in less known places down south but loved seeing the new mall etc etc. with Oreti beach, Anderson park and Queens park IVC is awesome. Still haven’t seen the transport museum yet. Next time.
@@mierypesado6740 I left ages ago also. The nature will never change and the people could change … sadly. In general good people however. Good days in the best city and province.
Your coverage made us want to visit. Great to hear a positive narrative. Life is really about whether your glass is 1/2 full or 1/2 empty. Good on ya mate!
@shirleytownsend3858 I visited a few times already so know its spectacular. Looking forward to heading down again and seeing what else has opened up down there.
In 1948 I was born and brought up there until 18 then joined the army. Haven't been back there much and not in the last 21 years. Hard to believe just how much it has changed and modernised. Love it. Was a great place for kids with all the open spaces.
Yes Pam. The city has more modern buildings and the mall is amazing. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the people. Superb, down to earth characters throughout the generations. Glorious.
I've spent most of my life in Invercargill. The city is boring, the cafes pretentious and overpriced. We've got a new mall which has sucked the retail life from the rest of the city, a council which is stuck on building a museum (which will not bring money unto the city) whike ditching renovations for a stadium that has brought huge smounts of money into Invercargill. There is virtually no night life except boozing at the plethora of bars. No cafe open or anywhere to hang out if you're not into drinking or bowling. There's no concept of funky in the city and the art scene is pretty much controlled by the who's who (I know because I worked in a gallery). The heritage buildibgs are among the best in NZ, but we've had councils for more than 30 years who never cared to work with owners of the buildings. It's dull, too conservative and goodness help anyone who dares to be negative about it though. Before anyone thrashes me for knocking it, the only reason I'm here is family. Admittedly though, Queens Park is lovely. That's the only star here.
Let’s not forget however, that like most provincial centres, a previous National govt., gutted life in these locales, to centralise to Auckland. personally, i like the quieter life here. There are many really great restaurants and cates here serving pretty much any food type you could ask for. And don’t forget, the weather here is optimal, cold in winter and, sometimes in summer, it can get really hot. I love it!
The museum has a unique sub Antarctic display which unfortunately hasn't been see for at least five years because the building has been condemned.The city is uniquely located near the largest National Park in the country,also close to Stewart Is.,the Catlin's,two hours south of Queenstown,overall not a bad place to live!
Have you been Keetah? Didn’t think so. Home to genuine people and with the sea on the doorstep and Fiordland as a backdrop! It’s doesn’t get better than Invers.
@@spaceman02 then you can't be 'living' much! Invercargill is a great place to live, so close to Fiordland, Stewart Island, the Catlins, there is heaps to do down here. I lived in Sydney and loved that city. In Invercargill you can make your life as you wish, down here there is always music, art, cafes, friends enjoying every moment, etc. There is some great fishing and hunting close by, too.
Showing all the places where the crack heads hang out after dark.. 😂 Grungeville as I call it is just that, a dank grungey grimy cold 💩hole. The new builds were ment to uplift the tone of the place but is an epic fail.. you can't polish a turd. I have traveled New Zealand extensively and hand on heart it's the worst place I've ever been, and considering we also have Huntley that's really saying something.. It,s at the bottom of the world for a reason lol😂 edit to add , hive of activity, give me a break, it's empty !!
@@chargerchick4u and that’s why you sir. Are the turd. You’ve never lived there and it’s you dealing the crack. That’s how you know the places. I’ve been all over the world. Ivc is amazing. Bet you haven’t dealt more than a bag of weed and stick a spike in the vein most nights ehh loser?

@@angelofmercy6139 then leave it nerd and move to Dorkland. Cos you’re both a dork and a nerd. Actually also a geek
@@thumbsuptravel1031 I can't wait to move to Auckland, especially if I do get into the air nz cadetship, ff not ill go to flight sci at Ardmore wings
Needed an Invers hit! Appreciate ya video mate

Nice video 😊😊👌👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤
Left Invers ages ago and don't have the fondest memories, but love your enthusiasm and appreciation of what others might easily overlook :)

@@kayemitchell8708 the title of NZ best city is to lure the haters out . 9/10 of them haven’t even been to IVC. Strange correlation . Great city !
Its not great, I live here, its boring af
That mall is absolutely first class. Its like something youd expect to find overseas. Puts our Dunners one to shame for sure !!! Great filming 🎥 👌
Only showed part of the mall (Invercargill central)

Absolutely.Best city in New Zealand by a country mile.Too many good reasons to list.

Invergiggle...great place, great people, tough weather.
The arrival of the franchise’s is the death of the mum & dad shops.
The building you wernt sure whether being built or knocked down was menzies building which is now being remodeled and will be new Distinction Hotel
@@nevillegoble9250 awesome news.
🙏🙏🙏👍👍🔔🔔🙏🙏
Bro, I live in Invers, and I wouldn't call anything about it 'spectacular'. Thanks for the plug for the town though. 😂
@@konservation6205 It’s spectacular, it’s glorious, it’s amazing, It’s Wonderfull. Maybe you’re not looking in the right places.
The amount of litter around Invercargill is disgraceful. You also didn’t mention we have the most polluted estuary in NZ.
@@56wilfred was I supposed to mention that?
Awesome, people like to bag Invers. But it punches well above its weight. It ain’t Vegas…but it doesn’t have to be.

I totally agree with you. The only good things about it they demolish but at least we have SIT free tertiary and not too many tourists or immigrants
@@ktairwin5380 what's wrong with tourists and immigrants? They've given the dull city some life.
Absolute nonsensical statement . It’s people like you trying to pull IVC down that make me giggle. Have respect. Best city in NZ.
Shaw not coldest boring coty
@@AriHutley thanks for your very intelligent response. Appreciate it
You mean New Zealands most boring city 💀
