SOUTHERN SCENIC ROUTE
by balhannah
The Southern Scenic route is what we followed all the way to Invercargill and onto Milford Sound.
We only missed a couple of small sections, they were at the start, we joined it at Taieri Mouth which is 35kms from Dunedin.
A little further on near Fortrose, we detoured off, and did the scenic coastal route.
THIS IS A MUST DO ROUTE, VERY SCENIC IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY! I have listed the website that I used on our holiday, you can have a look and print it out too!

Long Beach
by cannedbeets
Long beach is one of the many amazing beaches in Dunedin, but with the added goodness of a giant cave! You can bring some wood, food, and beer (in riggers (plastic 2 liter bottles) acquired from the McDuffs microbrewery for cheap!) and have a party with your mates in the cave. It's huge, with smaller caves in the back for exploring. To give you a good estimate of the size, raves used to be held there (Crave) but the ecological impact was a little much. No need for tents and a great way to escape the inevitable rain. If your lucky there might be some phosphoressence in the sand and water, always a treat. It's a bit of a mission from the parking lot (about a km on the beach) till the cave. I advise you get organised with wood ect BEFORE it gets dark, but it is quite fun bumbling around losing your friends. You can also rock climb there if your so inclined. Don't forget pack out what you packed in. To get there go to Port Chalmers, take a left directly after getting in to PC and then the second right. Keep going until you get to the long beach sign (a right turn).
Farm stay - riding
by grets
Aileen and Kevin have six horses, and choose the gentlest one for me to have my first attempt at riding. I can't say I feel particularly secure sitting there on the horse's back, but it feels right, walking around the farm grounds on a horse.
