Otekiho

Otekiho is a small area (approx. 4.9ha) of reserve land immediately south of Taiaroa Head and Pilots Beach, managed by the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust on behalf of the Dunedin City Council. The land falls steeply away from Harrington Point Road to a rocky beach with cliffs at each end. Yellow-eyed penguins nested here for several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the last nesting in the 1991/92 season. Little blue penguins and sooty shearwaters are found in the reserve and are believed to be increasing in numbers..
