Come spend a day with South Island United .
A few days in Christchurch meant team dinners, training, downtime, and a dorm all to themselves at Drifter.
Plenty of time together, plenty of good food, and enough space to do your own thing when you need it.

A little throwback to when we gave Beni ℬℯ𝓃𝒾- γbodγᴙɘvɘ ⑁ↄUm oƨ ɘvol I the keys to Drifter Byron Bay and let him loose around the place.

Inspired by David Hockney’s iconic 1978 poolside series, Beni created the large-scale mural that wraps around the building, with original works popping up throughout the property.

IN ART WE TRUST.
