In rural Southland, New Zealand, lies one of the country’s gems. At Mandeville the golden age of flight, the 1920s and 30s, can be relived.

See the craft of vintage aircraft being restored at the Croydon Aircraft company.

Visit the fully restored and operational aircraft in the Croydon Aviation Heritage Museum and learn about some of our early aviators.

Browse funky gifts and clothing at Money For Wine, sup coffee at Miss Cocoa Coffee Cafe.

And top your Mandeville Experience off with a flight in one of Croydon Air Service‘s fleet of vintage aircraft.
