Dunedin

Dunedin International Airport is located 22 kilometres from the city centre, but since there is currently no public transport service available, you should book a shuttle instead. Shuttle services operate for varying costs and time will be determined by passenger drop offs, but expect anything from twenty to forty minutes. You can book a ticket in advance online. A taxi ride will take approximately 20 minutes. Also, most major rental car companies are represented at Dunedin International Airport.

Dunedin has a compact city centre, making it easy to walk to the majority of the tourist attractions. The public transport service operated by Orbus mainly caters to students and locals who often need to reach the more remote areas of the city.

Post offices in Dunedin are run by NZ Post, providing several services throughout the town. The offices have a red sign on the outside. One of the post offices in the city is the NZ Post Centre Dunedin, where you can post parcels, letters and purchase postage.

Pharmacies, often referred to as 'chemists' in New Zealand, are typically open during standard retail hours, generally 9am to 5:30pm on weekdays. However, hours can extend to late evenings and weekends in larger cities and shopping centres. New Zealand's largest pharmacy chains are Unichem and Life Pharmacy, with stores spread nationwide. These pharmacies stock a wide range of over-the-counter medicines, healthcare products, and often provide additional services like flu vaccinations.

New Zealand operates on a 230/240V supply voltage and 50Hz frequency. The country uses Type I power plugs, which feature two flat pins forming a 'V' shape, along with a grounding pin. This standard is also commonly used in Australia, Argentina, China, and several Pacific island nations. Remember to pack a universal adapter if your devices use a different plug type to ensure hassle-free charging.
