Best time to travel to Dunedin

Peak Season:

Though not overly expensive, flights to Dunedin are at their priciest from December to February. The mild, temperate climate of this period makes attempting to climb the incredibly steep Baldwin Street, viewing the Dunedin Botanical Gardens, and exploring the Larnach Castle a very delightful experience.

Shoulder Season:

The prices of flights fall from March through May, and September to November. These periods range from gently crisp to beautifully warm. Since the climate is stunning during either part of the shoulder season, outdoor activities, such as playing on Allans Beach or riding a horse at Hare Hill, an absolute must.

Off Season:

From July to August the weather becomes especially chilly. Although the climate can be rather biting at times, these months are still excellent for visiting some of the numerous indoor attractions. If you are itching for some culture, you can go to the Temple Gallery or see a show at the Fortune Theatre. If you are looking for something a bit different, you can tour the Speights Brewery or the Cadbury Chocolate Factory.
