Dunedin Travel Tips

Dunedin itself is a harbour city, with a compact, easy to get around centre. It's an attractive blend of the old and the new and there is some glorious Victorian and Edwardian architecture to enjoy. Dunedin is home to the country's oldest university and the students contribute to its lively nightlife and trendy cafe scene.

Close to Dunedin itself there is spectacular coastline with both safe, family-friendly beaches for swimming and others to the north and the south which are ideal for surfing.

Some of New Zealand's best wildlife is also close at hand. It's possible to see seals, penguins and dolphins. Your campervan hire is a great way to get to the Royal Albatross Centre which is situated on the Otago Peninsula, less than an hour's drive from the city. The area is unique as the world's sole mainland breeding colony for these amazing birds. Seeing them in flight, with a wingspan of up to three metres and flying at speeds reaching as much as 120km per hour, is an amazing sight.

Swap modes of transport for a few hours and park your campervan at the city's railway station to board the Taieri Gorge Railway, regarded as one of the world's best and most scenic train rides. The trip will take you through the Taieri River Gorge and you will travel through hand-carved tunnels and over wrought iron viaducts. It's not to be missed.

Back in the city, Dunedin campervan hire is also great for a drive up and down Baldwin Street, which has a claim to fame as the steepest residential street in the world with a gradient measuring 1 in 1.286, or 19°. Every February around 1000 athletes race to the top and back again.

To make the most of your Dunedin campervan hire, head out of the city. The action town of Queenstown is around seven hours away inland and the refined city of Christchurch is around four hours drive away further north up the coast. You could easily drive in a triangle to visit both from Dunedin.
