Grove Bush is a village in the Southland region of New Zealand's South Island. It is located on the banks of the Makarewa River on the Southland Plains near the foothills of the Hokonui Hills.[1]
The village's main feature is its community hall. It is situated in a rural area of fertile farmland; the nearest city, Invercargill, is approximately 20 km southwest.[2] Other small townships are nearby: Mabel Bush is just to the east, while Springhills and Hedgehope are to the north and Rakahouka is to the south.[3]
