About Dunedin

Dunedin is a historic city known for having the first University in New Zealand, the University of Otago. Located on the south east coast of the South Island, Dunedin is nestled in picturesque tree-clad hills at the head of the Otago Harbour, sheltered by the stunning Otago Peninsula.

Exquisite examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture punctuate a compact cityscape with a vibrant culture; reflected in an eclectic array of kerbside cafes, antique stores and boutique fashion designers and jewellers.

A great way to learn more about the history of Dunedin is to spend the day at Dunedin's Public Art Gallery and the Otago Museum. You can also take a ride on the Taieri Gorge Railway train for a scenic tour of the region. 

Natural wonders abound on the Otago Peninsula, home to a colony of one of the world's rarest penguins, the  Little Blue Penguins and the Yellow-Eyed Penguin. Dunedin also hosts the only mainland breeding colony of albatross and the rare New Zealand sea lions. If you're interested in New Zealand's wildlife, the Orokonui Ecosanctuary just 23kms out of Dunedin is the place to be!

The magnificent Larnach Castle is a popular attraction and is New Zealand's only castle. Showcasing premier gardens and exquisite luxury accommodation, this beautifully restored castle is worth a visit.
