Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to The Key?
The best time to visit The Key in Southland, New Zealand, is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is at its warmest and most stable.

This period offers long daylight hours and generally pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and exploring the natural beauty of the region. Many of the local attractions, such as the numerous walking tracks and scenic viewpoints, are most accessible and enjoyable during these months.

Couples looking for an active and scenic getaway will find this time particularly appealing. The improved weather conditions allow for easier exploration of the Fiordland National Park's fringes, which are just a short drive from The Key, and provide superb opportunities for picnics by the lake or stargazing in the evenings.

For families, the summer months mean less chance of rain interrupting plans, offering more opportunities for children to enjoy the outdoor spaces and engage in nature-based activities without the discomfort of colder weather.
