Your Dunedin Holiday

From its highlights to its hidden gems, this city is best experienced with a Dunedin holiday package. Check out hotels located in Lawyers Head, which is great for golfing, views and nature. Fill your days with tours of Larnach Castle, St. Clair Beach and Dunedin Botanic Garden, some of the things you just have to see during your trip to Dunedin. Your Dunedin holiday is just a few clicks away. Search flights, hotels and more on Expedia for an adventure that's tailored to suit your travel style.

Dunedin Beach Holiday

Sit back and relax on the shoreline as you watch the sunlight sparkling across the water on your Dunedin holiday. If you're yearning for a memorable beach experience, a trip to Dunedin will be just the ticket. Chances are you've heard of St. Clair Beach (2 miles away). We recommend booking a hotel close by. However, loads of sightseers also go for Dunedin holiday deals that are closer to Brighton Beach or Tomahak Beach, two other popular nearby options.
