We loved the whole area. It has so much to be visited and appreciated. We visited both sides of the peninsula, Chinese and Botanical gardens, Dunedin centre, Larnach Castle and the amazing countryside, The Royal Albatross Centre was wonderful.

We enjoyed the Albatross Center and recommend the Blue Penguin Tour! Larnach Castle and its gardens are worth a visit. Dunedin was a high point on our travels around the South Island of New Zealand.

Lots for wildlife lovers - we loved the penguin tour and albatross centre, and the Orokonui eco-sanctuary. Be aware many restaurants in the area close quite early in the evening.

Dunedin was relatively quiet when we were there and the octagon (city center shopping area) had lots of construction going on but we found the city to be cute with plenty of sites to see including some amazing botanic gardens with a bird reserve.

Always be prepared for the cold in Dunedin. It is an old small city with narrow windy hill streets and old dwellings. But it is also has an air of culture. The museums etc are great.

University town, so lots kids. Felt very safe, but old! Lots of eating places close and of good quality.
"Wonderful accommodation for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 children) and prime location very close to St Kilda’s and St Clair’s beaches. Excellent everything :)"
"I loved my upstairs room with a view. Clean, spacious, tidy and the bed was so comfy. The best thing about this hotel is that it is pet friendly and I have two indoor-only, well-trained cats. Unfortunately, I had some young and unruly partying guests late at night in the room next door, however, the hotel management sorted them out immediately upon notification and peace was restored. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be close to a convenient main road, and within walking distance of the Botanic Gardens, university, museum, shops cafes, restaurants and the main street of town. I strolled safely up to the scenic Octagon at night for a lovely dinner - lots of options."
