Dunedin Area
Situated on the East coast of the South Island, Dunedin is the only real “University Town” in the country.
Being a “University Town”, finding somewhere to drink will be the least of your worries. It offers a vibrant night life as well as great cafes offering a variety of cuisine, and accommodation abounds catering to every pocket.
Built on the back of a gold rush, Dunedin is regarded as the architectural heritage capital of New Zealand. Boasting the country’s first university, and arguably, the most photographed building in the country – the Dunedin Railway Building; this town offers visitors plenty of options to experience the essence of this unique town.
Spend time browsing the numerous boutiques offering locally and internationally renowned fashion, to studios selling contemporary collections of NZ jewellery, gold, silver, bone, paua shell, and kauri gum.
Don’t forget to visit Larnach Castle and the Otago Peninsula that hosts the world’s only mainland breeding colony of the northern albatross, the world’s rarest penguin, the yellow-eye.
