About Port Chalmers

Port Chalmers is the working harbour town of Otago, a small, hilly place of stone and wooden buildings on Otago Harbour, close to Dunedin.

Port Chalmers is a small port town on the northern shore of Otago Harbour, on the South Island's east coast, a short drive from the centre of Dunedin. Streets of weatherboard and stone buildings climb steep hillsides above a harbour filled with container ships, fishing boats and, in season, cruise ships. Scottish settlers landed here in 1848 to found the Otago settlement.
