Otago (Oamaru, Queenstown and Wanaka)
Oamaru and Dunedin in coastal Otago and Queenstown and Wanaka in Central Otago collectively offer architecture, adventure, wine, food, walks and ecology as things for the traveller to see and do.
Dunedin and Otago Peninsula:
Dunedin, once New Zealand's wealthiest city is a university town, it has a vibrant cafe and pub scene - thanks to its large student population. Victorian and Edwardian architecture, a superb museum and modern art gallery are some of its many attractions.. Nearby are the wildlife and heritage sites of the Otago Peninsula. including Larnach Castle and the only mainland breeding colony in the world of the royal albatross.
Central Otago:
The region is renowned for its lakes, mountains and evocative, dry landscapes that attract many artists. A trip on the Taieri Gorge Railway is a memorable journey into the dry, rocky terrain of inland Otago. Walking, boating, swimming, fishing, mountain biking, golf, skiing and skating are popular activities, or you can just laze in the sun beside lakes and rivers enjoying the fruits of the orchards and vineyards of the region.
Historic buildings and sites are a legacy of when miners tried their luck at many different goldfields. For present-day excitement, Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand, guarantees the adrenalin rush and thrills of extreme adventures. Wanaka, also by a beautiful lake and gateway to the Mount Aspiring National Park, is geared for visitors but is a more peaceful resort.
North Otago:
The coast north of Dunedin is dotted with attractive, sandy beaches and quaint holiday houses. Yellow-eyed and blue penguins, seals and occasional sea lions visit here, too. The fine Victorian buildings of Oamaru, North Otago's main town, were constructed during rural boom times. They are made of the distinctive, local limestone.
