The Octagon

Dunedin is a city that captivates and enchants, a place in which to linger and explore.

Otago Peninsula is renowned for its albatross colony and various species of penguins, seals and pelagic birds. Dunedin is also renowned for such tourist attractions as the Heritage Tour at Speights Brewery or Cadbury Chocolate World.

 

The long main shopping street of Dunedin has a range of world class local designers and chain stores that entice travellers and locals alike, and the city-centre Octagon with its bars and cafés – and the statue of the Scottish bard, Robbie Burns – is the ideal place to relax after shopping.

 

Dunedin has a richly deserved reputation as one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. The University of Otago's clock tower building or stately homes such as Olveston or the grandeur of Larnach Castle.

 

More than a one-night stay, Dunedin is a city that will reward you well when you take time to explore.
