Dunedin Hotels

General Information

One of the genuine, under-the-radar destinations of New Zealand, Dunedin is the fifth most populous city in the country. The South Island gem has rich Maori heritage and many important landmarks that date back to the mid-19th century gold rush era, when Dunedin became New Zealand's first real city. Now home to close to 125,000 people, the city holds the distinction of being the most remote in the world from London, England.

In terms of tourist appeal, there's a lot to appreciate about Dunedin. The city sits on a natural harbour on the edge of the Otago Peninsula, a superb spot for sheer beauty and first-class ecotourism. The area is home to a wide range of endemic flora, wildlife and seabirds in particular. Points of interest in the city range from volcanic Mount Cargill, for spectacular views of Dunedin and Otago Peninsula, St. Paul's Cathedral and the only castle in New Zealand - Larnach Castle.
