Wrinkly Rams

Dunedin & Otago


Restaurants attached to tourist attractions can be dodgy, but the meals here are perfectly fine (the coffee is hit and miss, though). Big glass windows and outside tables give a nice view of the mountains while you eat. If a group has booked, you can tag along to see a sheepdog or shearing show (adult/child $25/12.50).
