Otago is both the name of my dog and the province I lived in while residing in Dunedin on the South Island. Since I left that city back in 2004, a lot has changed in the online world in terms of what is available and how it is presented. There are some gorgeous sites out there. My latest find is a site that zeros in on the rockin’ diversity of Otago and the towns that lie within its borders. Called Dreamofkiwi.com, the site bills itself as “Home of Otago’s most comprehensive online travel Directory, providing visitors to Otago New Zealand with access to hundreds of accommodation and activity options so you can plan your travel with confidence.” Not bad, right?

Clicking on the Dunedin option will bring up some excellent dining options—my personal favorite being the Speights Ale House Bar and Restaurant. For those of you looking for a little trivia, north island folk will tell you that SPEIGHTS stands for (Southern People Enjoy It, God Hates The Shit). Seriously, though–it’s a good beer.
