Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula, Part 1

Dunedin sits on a beautiful harbor, and is protected by the ragged Otago Peninsula. This is an area of contrasts: the city of Dunedin is a hub of the arts and entertainment set against a backdrop of Victorian Era buildings thanks to the riches of the 19th century gold rush. The peninsula is an animal lover’s paradise, as there are a number of pretty cool critters that live here.

Arguably one of Dunedin’s most beautiful buildings is the Dunedin Railway Station.


At the Fortune Theatre, you can see one of the locally produced plays.


Larnach Castle is New Zealand’s only castle and was built by William Larnach in 1871 to impress his wife of French noble-descent.


The First Church of Otago was built in 1873.
