Reaching Dunedin from elsewhere on South Island is straightforward, since domestic flights and ferries connect the island's centres, and nearby places such as Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura sit within the wider region. The island's temperate climate makes summer, from December to February, the most popular season, while winter at low altitudes remains mild. New Zealand food centres on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, and English and Māori are the main languages, so ordering and getting around are easy for most visitors.
