Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, Wānaka, Lake Wakatipu & More.
Otago is on the southeastern South Island — the dramatic Otago Peninsula reaching out from the historic city of Dunedin, with some of the country’s most extraordinary coastal wildlife on its doorstep.

Frequently asked
About Otago
- Where is Otago in New Zealand?
- Otago is on the southeastern South Island, facing the Pacific. Its coastline runs from the Waitaki River in the north, past Moeraki and Karitane, around the Otago Peninsula and the city of Dunedin, and south through the Catlins toward the Southland border.
- What kind of waterfront properties does Exclusive Waterfront Properties list in Otago?
- We list selectively on the harbour edges around Dunedin, along the inner and outer shores of the Otago Peninsula, and on the rugged coastline toward the Catlins — including harbourside homes, clifftop estates with open Pacific views, and rare coastal land holdings.
- Why is Otago significant?
- The Otago Peninsula is home to the world’s only mainland breeding colony of Northern Royal Albatross, alongside resident yellow-eyed penguin and fur seal populations. Dunedin is one of New Zealand’s most architecturally significant cities, with strong Scottish heritage, and the Moeraki Boulders are among the country’s most photographed coastal features.
- How accessible is Otago?
- Dunedin Airport offers direct flights to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Brisbane. The Otago Peninsula is about a thirty-minute drive from central Dunedin, Moeraki is around an hour north, and the northern Catlins coast begins roughly ninety minutes to the south.
