Southern Alps Outdoors, at 8 Market Place in the centre of Twizel, in the Mackenzie Region, stocks fishing licences, hunting gear, outdoor clothing and camping equipment. The website says that if an item is outdoors-related, the shop will try to have it. The shop sits in the town square, reached by turning off State Highway 8 onto Ruataniwha Road, then right and left into the town car park.
We hear the Mackenzie Region is under severe weather conditions and some road closures, so the website asks visitors to read the NZTA travel advisory first. The Mackenzie is known for its high mountains, glaciers, lakes and dark skies, and Twizel is the base for many visitors to the region. Our pick in Twizel for fishing licences, camping gear and outdoor clothing before heading into the high country.
