This area is often referred to as the "South Peak" due to its location at the top of the South Island, the smallest province and the second oldest settlement in the country. This area was established in 1841 by English settlers and has become one of the most important and beautiful areas of New Zealand at the present time. The region attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year due to its calm and relaxing environment, and tourists can rent huts on the beaches and mountains in the region at lower prices than other regions in New Zealand. This area is known for its art shops, local crafts, and art galleries, so art-loving tourists from all over the world come here.
