Region of New Zealand, site of the country's first university (5)

I believe the answer is:

otago

(Other definitions for otago that I've seen before include "NZ location" , "Kiwi region" , "Dunedin is its chief town" , "Antipodean region" , "New Zealand district" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
