Dunedin
The Otago coast stretches from the Waitaki River north of Oamaru to the mighty Clutha River south of Dunedin. Dunedin's dramatic hills surround a long, natural harbour, which attracted Maori settlers to the site over four centuries ago. More recently the area was settled by whalers, gold miners and migrants from Scotland and China. Memorable for its historical architecture, Dunedin is one of the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. On the doorstep of the city, you can find incredible wildlife - the world's rarest penguins, a mainland albatross colony, fur seals and sea lions.
The Clutha district, gateway to the deep south, provides rural experiences, superb fishing and wildlife adventures along majestic sweeping beaches.
Heriot House
This gracious old home is situated right in the heart of Dunedin. Only a casual stroll to shops and the local restaurants, bars and cafes. The quaint cottage garden has a pleasant charm that will draw you out of doors to inspect the treasures hidden from view
