What to do and see in Dunedin, South Island: The Best Fun Activities & Games

November 19, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

Rare yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals and the world's only mainland albatross colony share residence in Dunedin, New Zealand's oldest city. When you're not watching wildlife, this South Island Otago Coast town also boasts impressive historic architecture from its days as a gold-rush mecca. Visit the 1906 Flemish Renaissance railway station or the country's largest center of higher learning, which resembles Glasgow University, thanks to the area's early Scottish settlers.

Reviewed By 5gomad - Christchurch, New Zealand

Wasn't the greatest weather but the pool was lovely and warm and the location is not to be missed. You don't have to swim to enjoy the cafe's tasty pastries and coffee - but they go very well together, especially if you come for a morning dip.
