Take the time to experience the diversity of Dunedin. Walk in the snow tussocked hills - the city spreading out below you, and the Pacific ocean in all its moods rolling to the horizon.

Visit the basalt columns - a unique natural feature called the Organ Pipes.

Stroll some of the many paths in the forest crossing the city. We call it the Town Belt and we are determined it will be there forever.

Be entranced by the remarkable displays in the Botanical gardens - the country’s oldest, and said to be our most brilliant.

Stand above the cliffs or on the headlands of the peninsula - which teems with wildlife.

Windsurf, sail, kayak, canoe or fish the harbour. Surf, swim or walk the beaches, so close, at the edge of the city.

Step down a tunnel cut through a cliff to give a daughter her own beach - a gift with tragic consequences.

Play golf on courses of international quality – where players don’t have to be millionaires. Go rock climbing, or hop on a bike – the hills and trails are just minutes away.

And Dunedin is a gateway to the enchanting bush and ever changing coastline of the Catlins, the light, the colours, the stark serenity and vast spaces of Central Otago and the majesty of Fiordland, all within a day’s drive.
