Water park in Dunedin

“A beautiful hidden gem! Gravel trail which leads to a beautiful and surreal view of the beach! Best to wear takkies, carry a jacket and a bottle of water as the trail is long, gets windy and is quite a workout.. but absolutely worth every step!”

“Excellent beach, very calm day. Great for a swim.”

“It's a nice walk, only the sandy parts are a bit hard to walk.”

“Stunning views of the peninsula and ocean, with dramatic cliffs and erosion formations. The trail is easy, but close to cliff edges at some points so be careful. And there are sheep. Who doesn't love sheep? The road to get there is a narrow dirt road. I would avoid it in the rain, in an old, manual van.”

“An exceptionally beautiful beach where, with a bit of luck, you might spot many sea lions. Even if you don't see any, the beach is worth a visit, but the walk up and down is a bit arduous or takes a bit more time.”

“This area overlooks the St Kilda beach and can be booked out for events. The entirety of the drive up to Lawyers Head is open to vehicles between 11am and 3pm on weekdays, bollards are closed outside of these times making the area pedestrian only. Bollards are also locked on public holidays.”

“A good walk (3h return) with ups and downs following the Taieri river. Can be slippery, as the terrain is patched with rocks.”

“One of my favourite tracks. A couple of spots for good views and nice and cool under the trees for most of the walk.”

“Great safe place to swim just make sure you check the water has a safe rating.”

“Nice views, excellent workout. Make sure you bring loads of water!”

“Came here to see sea lions lyin' in a line with gulls flyin'.”

“Great place to visit! You can see wild sea lions with a nice view. Easy to get there, though to come up again.”

“Beautiful walk along the beach. Perfect stroll for a clear afternoon.”

“A great evening seeing the penguins come ashore, socialise and settle into their nests in their natural environment. Complimented by the detailed knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides. We also very much enjoyed the nature drive from Dunedin stopping at a number of locations to see the spectacular views and many birds along the shoreline.”

“We took the one hour wildlife cruise from Wellers Rock. The guide was very knowledgeable about the birds and other wildlife, their lifecycle, nesting and lots of other information. We saw albatross, little penguins and a couple of seals. They have jackets and binoculars that you can use. Great cruise, really enjoyed it.”

“Beautiful place. If you are here only for an afternoon or you have a SC vehicle it is a good spot. It is just few metres from the beach, there are picnic tables to use, serviced toilets, outdoor shower, dump station and running watter as well as a sink for washing up (cold water only though). There are 10 spots for the camping in ur car and they do fill up in quick after 3 pm. Beautiful sunrise. Good for dipping in the sea but beware of currents.”

“It's such a beautiful walk views are amazing must do walk”

“This is my favourite place to walk.Nice sea views!! After your walk there are heaps of choices for cafes.Lovely coffee and sea views at the Salt Water pool cafe.”

“Great loop track walk - a couple of good climbs to work up a brunch appetite... Nice and scenic too...”

“this trail was easy to moderate and had some uphill parts and flat parts. its a very fun and interesting trail as it has a mix of walking through forest, bush areas and open flat areas. the views are really nice throughout the whole walk too!!”

“My wife our daughter and her family have stayed in a holiday home there for the past two years and plan to do so next year. We love the beach. Lovely sand, great for children and dogs to play. We saw many dogs and horses up and down the beach. There are cliffs at the southern end where houses have a wonderful sea view. As we walked down that way we saw that there were " islands" there. Soft smooth sand and fantastic rocks to explore. The rock formations are splended, well worth the visit. The chilren and pet dog loved climbing over the rocks and cliffs.”

“The Ross Creek Reservoir is an artificial lake. One of the oldest artificial lakes in the country, and the oldest water supply reservoir still in use in the country, it was created in the 1860s to provide water for the city of Dunedin, at that time in the middle of rapid expansion due to the goldrush.It is like a track,walk run whatever one want they can do it.it has a good history and also waterfall u might think its natural but its not as its the artificially created but its lovely.”

“What a selection of beer! If you are in Dunedin and missing the UK reminds you of home. So many choices and a very friendly owner passionate about what he does…..good job I don’t live here be in daily.”

“Great place check out the city. Also found a teenage blackbird bath in a dirty water hole. Brave bird wasn’t afraid of me at all but it didn’t know bathing in dirty water won’t get itself clean”

“Fantastic views South to Dunedin, and north up the coast, and inland to the remaining peaks. Apparently very few people make their way up here, perhaps because a lot of students don't have cars, but the view really is worth the short trip up the hill, as long as the weather is good.”

“This is a unique time capsule and an example of very clever late 19th/early 20th century innovations in domestic architecture/technology. Absolutely fascinating and guides were encyclopedic in their knowledge. Even the family history was attention grabbing. Everybody in our group was impressed with this place. 6 (or 7) out of 5 stars.”

“A really fun thing to do. And this is coming from a girl who is by no means a beer fanatic. Thomas was a great tour guide, incredibly knowledgable and very passionate. Good sense of humour too. Really cool to do a truly South Island experience, delicious beer tasting at the end, plus the gift shop does actually have quite cool stuff! Thanks for a fun arvo team :)”

“Explore the magic of glow worms at this fantastic free spot, conveniently close to the city. Remember to bring a headlamp to navigate in the dark, just be mindful not to shine it towards others. Embrace the enchantment responsibly and enjoy the glow worm spectacle!”

“Great place for either children playing on the skate ramp or on swing etc”

“Lovely beach. Safe wee area and then extends around the rocks, goes on for a very long while.”
