For fine views over the city and pacific for fit walkers and day hikers. See the basalt Organ Pipes and enjoy some flora and fauna indigenous to the region, and begin at Bethune's Gully in North East Valley.

Mt Cargill is a volcanically sculpted hill that looks over North Dunedin . Around 680m high, it's the tallest hill in the area and can be spotted easily because of the big radio tower on the top. there's also an awesome lookout up there . on a nice day you get the whole lay of the land spread before you , blueskin bay and the northern coast , out over the Dunedin harbour and the Otago Peninsula, and inland towards the mountain ranges of Otago . if you are up for a hike, you can drive to Bethunes Gully at the end of nearby North East Valley and walk up to the summit and down again . Allow yourself 3 hrs or so. You walk through old exotic Pine Forest, then native bush with tree ferns and conifers, up through subalpine scrubland leading to a big open flat carparky space with that massive radio tower looming above you architecturally. Alternatively there is a gravel road that takes you straight up to the top . Fewer endorphins , but still a nice view and it's a great way to get the lay of the land and scope out spots you'd like to visit (so many beaches!)

The highest point in Dunedin, with expansive 360 degree views and a bit of a bush track

Splendid view, worth travelling up the hill.

Yes this place is better on a sunny day, but in fact it's pretty amazing during a storm too. In bad weather you don't need to leave your car to see the views...
