The southern city of Dunedin is known for its heritage architecture and proximity to some of New Zealand’s best wildlife experiences.

A walk through the city centre reveals exquisite examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, while a visit to the nearby Otago Peninsula offers the chance to see seals, dolphins, penguins and majestic albatross in their natural environment.
