Guide to Waitati

Waitati, also known as Waitete, is a relatively smaller settlement in Otago. Lying within the Dunedin’s city limits, the place is located near the tidal mudflats of Blueskin Bay, 12 miles north of the Dunedin City Centre. Major tourist attractions include the Orokonui Eco-sanctuary and Doctors Point Beach, a sandy beach, which is a home of blue penguins. Furthermore, Waitati is also known for Dunedin Public Libraries, a café, a garden centre, general store, and umpteen number of holiday homes.

The Dunedin- Waitati Highway portion of the State Highway – 1, colloquially referred as Dunedin Northern Motorway, terminates at Waitati. Brooding ground of the Waitati Militia, a pacifist warfare group, the settlement is also the final destination point of the Waitati River.

The place holds special relevance for individuals pursuing an alternative life style. With the entire settlement not welcoming any modern sewage system, it has been transformed into a development centre that pioneers the art of making composite toilets and alternative sewage disposal plants. The place has also encouraged the inculcation of environmental education in various academic curriculums across New Zealand. Waitati is served by the Dunedin Airport, which is situated 22 miles away from the main city.
