Activity
In terms of area, Dunedin is the largest city in New Zealand, and indeed the fifth
largest in the world. Therefore, greater Dunedin encompasses many tourist attractions.
Our Dunedin Motel features a Full Tour Desk for Advice & Bookings - open 7 days.
Some sight-seeing tours depart from our motel if advance bookings are made through office.
A small selection of attractions we offer
Taieri Gorge Railway
This is one of the world's great train trips, taking passengers from the hustle and bustle of
Dunedin's city centre to the rugged mountain interior of Central Otago and back.
Yellow Eyed Penguin Conservation Reserve
Catch a glimpse of the world’s rarest penguin and experience undisturbed activity at close range
through a unique system of hides and tunnels.
The Royal Albatross Centre
View these magnificent birds on a guided tour. To sight a soaring albatross is unforgettable.
Held aloft on slim wings up to 3 metres across,
these great albatrosses are capable of speeds of over 100 kph.
Larnach Castle
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.
Dunedin's history is captured in several museums. The Otago Settler's Museum focuses on the people and past of Otago,
as well as the innovative developments that made colonisation easier. Visit the Otago Museum next to the University
and see how Dunedin was the most pioneering and influential city of early New Zealand.
Modern culture abounds within the city limits. Experience the hospitality of the more than 140 cafes, restaurants
and bars scattered throughout Dunedin. It is easy to find your niche in such places as these establishments cater
for all tastes-fine French dining, Asian, Mediterranean, Latin down to the traditional Kiwi experience of fish and chips.
We invite you to stay at our Dunedin Motel, and experience all that Otago has to offer.
