16 day Lower South Island Highlights New Zealand Itinerary
Prepared for Frederic and Vicki Guilhem and party
Visiting Christchurch, Mt Cook village, Wanaka, Queenstown, Te Anau (Fiordland) and Tekapo
Day - Dunedin & Coastal Otago
|
The stunning Dunedin & Coastal Otago region sits on the lower south east coast of the South Island. The region is home to over 100,000 people and is a hub for education, with New Zealand's oldest university. With a strong Scottish heritage, Dunedin is often referred to as the Edinburgh of the South, and has some beautiful Edwardian and Victorian architecture, including the well known Larnach Castle, and the Dunedin Railway Station. The rugged coastline, dotted with pristine bays and beaches draws visitors from around the world, and the Dunedin Otago Peninsula is also home to colonies of rare birds and many unique species of wildlife, including the rare Yellow Eyed Penguin, the Royal Albatross, and sea lions. |

Day by day in more detail
Day 15 - 17th November - drive from Tekapo to Christchurch
Today you head back to Christchurch (around three hours drive), and check in to your chosen accommodation (see Day 1 for suggestions).
Perhaps use the afternoon to catch up on something you may have missed when you arrive?
If you decide to stay near the airport, at somewhere like the Novotel or the Sudima, you could drop your car off this afternoon. That might save you some time before your flight tomorrow.
Day 16.
Unfortunately all good things must end, or so they say.
We hope that we can welcome you back to see more of New Zealand in the future.
Kind regards
