A Visitors Guide |
| East Otago is a spectacular part
of New Zealand situated between Oamaru in the North and Dunedin in the South.
This is a really diverse region and the warm friendly people will make your
visit a pleasure. |
 |
The area has a wide
variety of landscapes, everything from clean green rolling hill country to
stunning beaches and wetlands.
East Otago has an incredible history, much of which relates
to the early settlers and the gold rush in Otago. Gold mining is still carried
out at Macraes today. |
There are
many opportunities to get to see our wonderful wildlife. Seals and penguins
are plentiful and there are many places from which these can be observed,
a visit to the Tavora Reserve is extremely worthwhile.
With the recent opening of the Palmerston Butterfly and Bird Haven a whole
new dimension for nature enthusiasts has been added. |
