Boasting of a fascinating cultural history, a mind boggling range of outdoor activities and scores of paces to visit, these places are on the list of "must see" of most travelers. Take a look.
The coastal region of Otago sprawls from Waitaki (located north of Oamaru) to the waters of the Clutha River that flows south of Dunedin. Book affordable and well maintained car rentals in Dunedin that help you take a closer look at the mysterious Moeraki boulders, which attract tourists with their unique geographical features and stunning character. As you cruise along, you also get to feast your eyes upon picture perfect fishing villages, green pastures and the historical whitestone architecture of Oamaru.

The Edinburgh of New Zealand or Dunedin dons its Scottish heritage and cultural attributes with a lot of pride and is surrounded by stunning hills that forms the perfect backdrop for its long harbor. Dunedin is definitely one of the best preserved Edwardian and Victorian cities located in the Southern Hemisphere. Along with pleasant natural attractions and plentiful accommodation facilities, you can also look forward to incredible wildlife-that includes the rarest collection of penguins in the world. Taiaroa Head boasts of the largest breeding colonies of the Royal Albatross in the mainland.
As you drive further south, you come upon the Southern Scenic Route that goes along the wild coast, moves straight to Invercargill and then turns towards the north-west to Te Anau and Manapouri.
