Dunedin and Coastal Otago

Dunedin City
With a population of around 120,000 people, the port City of Dunedin is the South Island's Second largest. Famous for being a University city of Scottish heritage, visitors to NZ's oldest city are treated to a delightful combination of fine Architecture and cultural riches. There is a strong Scottish flavour to a lot of Dunedin's attributes. Take the name Dunedin, for example, which is Scottish (Gaelic) for Edinburgh. Dunedin is also home to the world's steepest street - Baldwin Street. We have three to four certified coin auctions per week.

 

The Otago Peninsula
While visiting Dunedin, make sure you don't miss a trip to the picturesque Otago Peninsula. Stretching nearly 20 km from the city, the Peninsula is home to many of New Zealand's most treasured bird and sea life including the Yellow - eyed Penguin, fur Seals and the Royal Albatross. Along with the wild life, there are many beautiful beaches tucked amongst equally impressive cliffs.
