Dunedin is widely regarded as the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian heritage city in the southern hemisphere, boasting many historical masterpieces. The University of Otago is NZ’s oldest university and is home to Dunedin’s large and lively student population. The campus boasts 130 year old blue stone buildings equal to those seen at Oxford or Cambridge.

Dunedin is framed by a magnificent harbour. It sits on the doorstep of Otago Peninsula, which has long been acclaimed for its beauty and wildlife. The Otago Peninsula boasts the world’s only mainland breeding colony of the Albatross as well as fantastic viewing of the rare Yellow-Eyed Penguin and other ocean birds and mammals in their natural habitat.

The city is a picture postcard of historic buildings and houses, set against a backdrop of the city’s lush greenbelt of native bush. Fondly known as the ‘Edinburgh of the South,’ Dunedin celebrates its Scottish ancestry and treasures its icons.
