Around the Dunedin area are two beautiful areas filled with natural attractions. In one direction, the peninsula contains New Zealand's only 'castle', a bird sanctuary, and dramatic cliffsides. In the other direction, the Catlins contain many wonders within the dense native bush that once covered the whole country.
