Otago has the hottest summers and the coldest winters in New Zealand! Dunedin is the gateway to Central Otago. Its locals are famously hospitable and love to help visitors get the best out of its charms. The Otago peninsular is home to many rare wildlife species such as Royal Albatross, Southern Fur Seals, Cormorants and Yellow Eyed Penguins. Highway 85 from Dunedin takes you to the sprawling Maniototo plain. The lovely Taieri River winds its way slowly through it with magnificent fish in quiet hollows, picnics on the riverbank and leisurely kayaking or canoeing. The Maniototo has hot, dry summers with clear blue skies, and clean crisp still days in winter. It's a popular destination to get away from it all in all seasons. The tiny township of Naseby is at the head of the Maniototo Plain. The unique winter sport of Curling is played regularly on the Maniototo Ice Rink situated in Naseby. Skating is also popular, and Ice Hockey tournaments are a feature. St Bathans lies beside the beautiful Blue Lake. The mineral content of the surrounding cliffs causes the intense blue colour of the lake
