About New Zealand

North Island, New Zealand

The North Island, is as its name indicates, is the northern-most of New Zealand’s two main islands.

It has a warmer, more temperate climate than much of the South Island, and is much more vastly populated. The North Island is home to NZ’s largest city —Auckland, also known as the ‘City of Sails’, and the Capital City of New Zealand—Wellington.

The northern areas of the North Island are sub-tropical. The centre of the island is primarily a volcanic landscape with expansive forests, volcanic peaks, and picturesque lakes. The eastern side of the island is where you’ll find a plethora of vineyards.

South Island, New Zealand

The South Island is the larger, and southern-most of New Zealand’s two main islands. With an area of 151,215 square kilometers (58,093 square miles), it is the 12th largest island in the world.

The largest city in the South Island is Christchurch and is known as the ‘Garden City’ due to its many stunning gardens and tree-lined streets.

Queenstown, famous as the adventure capital of the world is also found in the South Island

The west coast is lined by the Southern Alps mountain ranges with Aoraki/Mount Cook being the highest point at 3,754 meters (12,316 feet) above sea level.

Dunedin Backpackers

Dunedin Area Map

Dunedin Area

Situated on the East coast of the South Island, Dunedin is the only real “University Town” in the country.

Being a “University Town”, finding somewhere to drink will be the least of your worries. It offers a vibrant night life as well as great cafes offering a variety of cuisine, and accommodation abounds catering to every pocket.

Built on the back of a gold rush, Dunedin is regarded as the architectural heritage capital of New Zealand. Boasting the country’s first university, and arguably, the most photographed building in the country – the Dunedin Railway Building; this town offers visitors plenty of options to experience the essence of this unique town.

Spend time browsing the numerous boutiques offering locally and internationally renowned fashion, to studios selling contemporary collections of NZ jewellery, gold, silver, bone, paua shell, and kauri gum.

Don’t forget to visit Larnach Castle and the Otago Peninsula that hosts the world’s only mainland breeding colony of the northern albatross, the world’s rarest penguin, the yellow-eye.
