Weekend Itinerary in Dunedin


Touted as Edinburgh of the South, Dunedin isn’t exactly a known tourist destination, but that shouldn’t deter you from exploring this wonderful yet under-rated city. Dunedin, located in the southern part of New Zealand’s South Island has plenty of destinations worth checking out. The city flaunts its Scottish Heritage in a profound way. This can be gauged by the names of the streets, pubs and cafes located here.

Here are some ideas to enjoy your weekend while you’re here:

Spend half a day on horseback on the beaches of Aramona. View wildlife as you gently trod on like Clint Eastwood in the Dollars Trilogy! This is one of the best ways to observe New Zealand’s faunal population. Up next, visit Dunedin’s only castle, the Larnach Castle and enjoy a guided tour. Follow it up with a wildlife cruise on the city’s picturesque harbour with Monarch Wildlife Cruises.

 Enjoy a lazy Sunday by paying a visit to Cadbury World, perhaps the closest real life example of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. This museum is dedicated entirely to chocolates, right from the history of chocolates, to their preparation! Visit the gift shop to buy a handful of treats before you leave.

Dunedin is best explored using car rental services as they add comfort and convenience to your travels. Book a car of your choice from a myriad of options catalogued on the website. You can rent out of 4WDs, luxury cars, sedans and many more.
