Usually good for a quiet coffee or drink during the day, or a meal. Helpful staff. Coffee is a bit more expensive, but every fifth coffee is free if you pick up a coffee card. This is an excellent location if you want to spend an hour, or two, working with a coffee. Lots of space, free wireless internet, charging plugs, and the staff are very accomodating.

The Batch Cafe is our favourite cafe in Invercargill. Always good food, good coffee and good service. The Batch tends to be very busy, but it's worth waiting for 5-10 minutes for a table during busy times. Meals tend to be good value for money.

If you're looking for food made from local produce, that is organic/free-range, The Good Earth is a great place to go. Very friendly staff, quick service, a tasty menu and reliably good coffee. If you're there, say hi to Jill (the owner) from George and Rakei.

If you're in Dunedin on a Saturday, don't miss the Farmers Market at the Railway Station. A great selection of locally grown food, often organic/free range. Good for stocking up on fruit and vegetables, but also great if you're just looking for a morning snack and a coffee. The market begins very early on Saturday morning, and finishes at 12pm. Get there early to miss the crowds, and to get the best selection. I'd highly recommend the French Crepes! Say hello to the Degas family from George if you get one.

The Dunedin Botanic Garden is a spectacular place for a walk. The lower garden (Cnr Great King St and Opoho Road) is entirely flat, and the upper garden (Lovelock Ave) is a bit steeper, but has some lovely spots. Hours can be spent wandering around here. There is a cafe in the gardens, but I would recommend heading to one of the cafes in town instead. For a nice view of North Dunedin, head to the Mediterranean Garden.

There are some lovely walks through the ecosanctuary, and if you're quiet and take your time you're pretty much guaranteed to see a range of native birds. Here you can also enjoy the spectacular views from the cafe auditorium. Also makes a great wedding venue. Or, so we found.

Sightseeing

The walk to East Peak will take you through NZ Native Bush, and up the Hokonui Hills. From the top, you'll have an amazing view of the surrounding area in all directions. The walk is uphill and quite steep near the top, but not too long. Good for a half-day activity, and there are some nice spots near the top to have a picnic lunch.

For centuries the great southern ocean and its salt-laden wind have sculpted the sandstone coastline south of Dunedin. The outcome is a line of high cliffs, arches and headlands that provide endless vantage points for breathtaking views as the ocean continues its relentless artistry.Tunnel Beach, just two kilometres south of Dunedin, draws its name from a passage that was hand carved in the 1870s through a rock promontory to allow access to a secluded and sheltered beach at the base of the cliffs.The Tunnel Beach Walkway is an easy one hour return walk - although there's obviously a bit of a climb involved. The walk is at its best around low tide.
