Seminyak Square

A great place to do some shopping and have a meal.
There are usually multiple vendors in the parking area selling clothing, trinkets, bags, etc, but there are also multiple retailers, a hotel, ATM’s, and several good restaurants.
Bluff Hill Lookout
2021 Feb 16
Some really beautiful ocean views from this lookout point near the tip of the Southern Island!
It’s a short drive up the hill to the parking area, then about a 10 minute walk up to the overlook platform.
If it’s a clear day, you can enjoy the views for miles around!
Don’t miss this when you visit the Bluff area
Guinness Storehouse
2024 May 07
This is an absolutely necessary experience when you are visiting Dublin.
Be sure to buy your tickets in advance online, because the time slots frequently sell out. It can be a very busy place because it is so popular!
The experience is 6 floors of displays and interesting videos, etc, based on the history of the Guinness brand, the brewing of the beer, and how they package and market it.
The basic tour ticket includes a pint of beer on the upper level at the end of your tour, and a Guinness tasting on the 4th floor.
If you want to learn to pour a pint, there is an extra fee of 12 Euros.
Plan on spending an hour to 90 minutes here.
Dublin Castle
2024 May 07
A beautiful piece of history here in Dublin.
The castle and palace have multiple rooms that are opulent and beautiful, and tons of artwork to enjoy.
We spent about 1 hour wandering through the castle and enjoying the interesting furniture, decor, art pieces, and history associated with each room.
A guided tour is available for a small increase in ticket price (4 euros), but the self guided tour with the directory is also informative and enjoyable.
There is a nice garden to relax in behind the castle, and entrance to the garden is free.
The Sheepskin Factory
2021 Mar 08
We were happy with the great selection of authentic New Zealand sheepskin and wool products here, and the prices were reasonable, too.
One of the best selections of sheepskins and pillow covers, seat covers, etc. that we have seen in the Auckland area (including the fully New Zealand made “Classic” brand (that is probably the best available, in my opinion).
The staff was very friendly and helpful, as well as informative.
They allowed us plenty of time to look at all of the different sizes, colors, and brands of sheepskins to help us make our decision about the ones that we loved the most.
We bought two sheepskins and a pillow cover.
They had some items on sale, and we got an additional 5% discount for signing up for their newsletter.
They gave us good advice on how to travel safely with our sheepskins and package them properly to take home on our flight.
We chose to take ours with us to enjoy during our remaining time in New Zealand, but the store will ship your purchases anywhere in the world for you, if you prefer. Another advantage of shipping your purchase out of country (if you live outside NZ) is that you save paying NZ taxes on your items.
I would definitely recommend that you check out this store to get authentic NZ made products, and avoid the cheaper and lower quality sheepskin products that you see in so many of the “touristy” stores.
