Otago Peninsula

There are multiple places on the roadway to sit and view the amazing place. People also love running through the edge of the road and the view is extraordinary on the sunset

I happened to be there early winter . Stayed at Airbnb with one of the house along the coast, if you can call it coast . The sight is so lovely . Walk a little further up and you will see the sea lions without gates and cages . Lovely place . Easy to get around to the only castle in New Zealand or back to town on main land

The peninsula is a drive out of the city. Once you hit Portabello road you can follow it around the peninsula. There is plenty of things to look at or to do. Larnach Castle is located nearby which gives beautiful views of the peninsula when not cloudy. There is also the penguin and albatross centers. located deep in the peninsula. Portabello seems to be the biggest town in the area with cafes, restaurants, and hotels. There are quite a few walking trails as well. We went down to Sandfly bay which wasn't too difficult and had quite a few seals basking on the beach. It might be a good idea to have some sort of a plan to save driving along the same stretch of scenic coast. The upper roads are also quite scenic.

If you get the chance to come for a drive then you must do so. The views are incredible and well worth the afternoon (or even full day) you will spend driving, walking looking & photographing. True New Zealand.

A very beautiful and quiet place in Dunedin. The drive from Dunedin is breathtaking and you already enjoy a lot of scenic views before reaching this place. The road is not paved at the end so it is wise to take a 4x4 ride but still a sedan has no issue. There is no shop or drinking water so you should have drinking water and snacks with you. You are literally at the end of the world here as there is nothing in front of you but Antarctica very far away. I would say it is a must visit place if you are in Dunedin.

Nice drive for the views. Unfortunately due to bollards erected all the way to the end there is absolutely nowhere to stop along the way. Lighthouse at end cannot be accessed as it’s in conservation area. Really disappointing drive..

Very beautiful area south of Dunedin...

We took a bus tour from Dunedin to Nature's Wonders wildlife park, located on the far south coast of Otago Penninsula. 30 minute drive. Via 8 wheelers, small groups of 4-6 covered nasty dirt roads to the coast. Amazing beauty on a sunny, windy day. We saw seals nesting on the rocks and some rare penguins, yellow-eyed Hoiho - about 500 left alive. The highlight was the natural beauty. Long rolling green hills with sheep grazing - sweeping into the sea. Craggy rocks and sandy beaches. On a sunny day, it was amazing. A far outpost that is worth the effort to see.
