Majestic Victorian and Edwardian architecture, a proximity to an abundance of spectacular wildlife and a lively youth culture make for a fascinating and exciting melange in this eminently human-sized city. The city of Dunedin is framed by a magnificent harbour, long and picturesque. It sits on the doorstep of Otago Peninsula, which has long been acclaimed for its beauty and eco-tourism. Dunedins spectacular hills, white sand beaches and rugged rock outcrops are home to a fascinating array of rare wildlife, amazing in its abundance and diversity. Dunedin boasts the worlds only mainland breeding colony of the albatross and fantastic viewing of the rare yellow-eyed penguin in their natural habitat. It is little wonder that internationally acclaimed environmentalist David Bellamy has described Otago Peninsula as the finest example of ecotourism in the world. Dunedin is a picture postcard of historic buildings and houses, set against a backdrop of the citys lush greenbelt of native bush. Dunedin is widely regarded as the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian
heritage city in the southern hemisphere. Its many stunning public buildings include: Dunedin Railway Station - described by UK travel guide DK Eyewitness as one of the worlds 200 must see places. Olveston - Dunedins Historic Home an intimate glimpse of Dunedin lifestyle in the Edwardian era The magnificent 130-year-old stone buildings of the University of Otago The perfectly proportioned gothic First Church and Larnach Castle - New Zealands only castle - sitting high on the Otago Peninsula ..... to name only a few. Dunedin is also a place where its past lives easily with its present. Almost one fifth of the citys population of 123,000 are students, giving Dunedin a lively, edgy feel ... it is little wonder that imagination and creativity abound. Dunedin has forged a place as an incubator for a unique subculture, breeding leading edge fashion designers and artisans. The id
Dunedin Fashion Show is now an annual event that draws international interest. Settled by the Scots in 1848, Dunedins Scottish heritage is still very much alive in the street names and buildings. The lilting sound of the bagpipes can often be heard on the city streets, in this city where the haggis ceremony is regularly performed. A statue of the famous Scottish poet Robbie Burns sits aloft and presides over the city centre, a reminder of the citys heritage Dunedin is New Zealands largest city by area and arguably the most spectacular in terms of contrasting landscapes. There are kilometres of stunning panoramas - across Otago Harbour and Peninsula or the majestic sweeps along the sandy beaches of St Clair to the stunning little secret places such as Tunnel Beach and the haunting rocky tors and tussock of Middlemarch, our hinterland and the starting point for the Otago Central Rail Trail. The seaside settlements of Karitane and Port Chalmers provide the perfect setting to escape the city for the day. Dunedin offers much to stir the senses.

IN MY OPINION, THE OTAGO PENINSULA IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF ECO-TOURISM IN THE WORLD.

LARNACH CASTLE
Visit the old, the new and the view
Larnach Castle Discover New Zealands only Castle, built from 1871 by William Larnach, merchant baron and politician, for his beloved first wife Eliza. 200 workmen spent three years building the Castle shell and master European craftsmen spent a further 12 years embellishing the interior. Larnach spared no expense on his dream home, which features the finest materials from around the world. With its exciting, sometimes scandalous, sometimes tragic history, its magnificent carved ceilings, New Zealand antiques and breathtaking views, Larnach Castle offers you a vision of the past and present. Today, the Castle is home to the Barker family who have lovingly restored the building and recreated the beauty of the 35 acres of gardens and grounds. Larnach Gardens Larnach Castle is set in 35 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds. Renowned as one of NZs finest gardens it is a top rating Garden of International Significance. Margaret Barkers personal creation over 40 years continues to be developed within the original framework of paths, hedges and trees. Special collections of Southern Hemisphere plants grow in size and diversity in our South Seas Garden. Spring brings jewel-like flowers to the rock garden and splendid displays of rhododendrons and azaleas. Herbaceous plantings peak in summer, followed by Scottish Heathers in autumn. Guests may enjoy Castle and garden tours, delicious lunch or devonshire tea in the Castle Ballroom Caf and evening celebrations in the Ballroom, which hosts many special occasions.

FORT TAIAROA
Journey back into New Zealands Colonial History with a visit to the underground fortifications of Fort Taiaroa. These harbour defences were built in the 1880s when it was feared that Russian Warships presence in the Pacific might lead to invasion. Today, visitors to Taiaroa Head are very fortunate to be able to view the only fully restored Armstrong Disappearing Gun of its type in the world. Visitors can inspect at first hand the great 1886, six inch calibre hydraulic disappearing gun, complete in every detail, sitting in its original gun pit in full working order and experience what life was like for those posted at the Fort. Bookings are made through the Royal Albatross Centre

A future for our past - Opening September 2009
Stephen Jaquiery
Just 20 minutes from downtown Dunedin you will find Orokonui Ecosanctuary, an inspirational addition to any itinerary. The 307 hectare Ecosanctuary is the only predator free area of native bush in the South Island and is home to some of New Zealands most fascinating and rare forest wildlife including the curious native parrot (kaka), Otagos jewelled gecko, rifleman, and the South Island saddleback to name a few. The re-introduction of many birds, reptiles and plants that had been lost from the area, including kiwi and South Island robin, is also underway. This safe haven provides visitors with an exceptional experience where they will encounter New Zealands native flora and fauna in a protected and natural environment. Guided tours of Orokonui Ecosanctuary are suitable for both groups and FIT clients of all abilities. The tours describe the intricate world of Otagos coastal forest and its inhabitants.

Olveston is a modern masterpiece in the Edwardian Era, yet its collections reflect a collecting fashion more akin to the zest of Victorian collectors. The 35 room mansion complete with original collections was opened to the public in 1967. In historic terms it is already priceless a time capsule. Tours operate daily (min 6 tours each day) except Christmas Day and group tours are most welcome. The Olveston gift shop is a special experience for the purchase of small gifts and collectables.
