Park in Dunedin

“Great place check out the city. Also found a teenage blackbird bath in a dirty water hole. Brave bird wasn’t afraid of me at all but it didn’t know bathing in dirty water won’t get itself clean”

“This family business is great. Honest, straight up information and always finding a way to make things done within a budget. The owner of the business is the one working on my car and I know that everytime I take it back for services etc he knows exactly what has been done, what may need looked at etc. Loved my business with them so much more than once that I wanted to give my first google review. Go see Tony he will sort you out with full transparency.”

“Best bike shop ever! I had crossed the threads on my pedals and they immediately sorted it so I could ride the Otago Rail Trail the next day! So grateful - wouldn’t get service like that from an Australian bike shop!”

“This is a unique time capsule and an example of very clever late 19th/early 20th century innovations in domestic architecture/technology. Absolutely fascinating and guides were encyclopedic in their knowledge. Even the family history was attention grabbing. Everybody in our group was impressed with this place. 6 (or 7) out of 5 stars.”

“Adrian excelled in his customer service. A part was missing from my order, he quickly responded and organised the part to be delivered in a timely fashion. Sometimes even when mistakes are made, it’s how quickly a team can recover to support and communicate with the buyer that shows how good they really are.”

“My #1 address in Dunedin when it comes to holistic health. I had an osteopathic treatment with "Thierry Rey". I was suffering from severe back pain. After one session the pain was entirely gone. I could almost not believe it, after no-one had been able to help me before. Next day I went for an acupuncture treatment with "John Swift" to decrease the inflammation that had built up in my back muscles over time. He did an amazing job. During the session he explained every step, always asking if I am alright. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a wise man. Last but not least it needs to be said that the team at the reception does a fantastic job. I felt very welcome. Such lovely and attentive people. Thank you so much for helping me!”

“A really fun thing to do. And this is coming from a girl who is by no means a beer fanatic. Thomas was a great tour guide, incredibly knowledgable and very passionate. Good sense of humour too. Really cool to do a truly South Island experience, delicious beer tasting at the end, plus the gift shop does actually have quite cool stuff! Thanks for a fun arvo team :)”

Harry's Kitchen favours a burger-led line-up with clear, tidy flavours. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. Noodles arrive glossy and well seasoned. A sensible spend for the quality. Buns hold well a...

“Went as an international visitor and I think I paid $35 for the whole experience. They have so many exhibit including NZ/Dunedin early history, Maori, "Animal Attic" (mostly animal taxidermy), Maritime (ship models) and People of the World (random assortment of cultures - they even have a mummy). The Planetarium was alright but I went to the Night Sky one which was rather boring to be honest. The science/kids section was fun but a lot of the exhibit needs to be refreshed as they have seen a lot of use. The butterfly garden was very interesting as it is something you don't see often. They also have a cafe onsite but I did not try it. I spent around 3hrs trying to see everything but this place definitely need a few visits if you want to experience everything. My only complaint is that the gift shop does not have many Otago Museum branded things -only magnets and postcard - I was ready to buy more souvenirs, had they had more!”

“Otago university - oldest university in NZ offering chilling weather, encircled with mountains, having lush green grass and amazing view of clock tower. Gift center provides you multiple options to gift your loved ones. Also, provides you an opportunity to buy something which marked with university of otago clock tower. Caps, pens, key rings, T-shirt, paper towel, and many more things are available. Loved to visit this place, and bought gifts for my friends. The receptionist was amazing, showed every possible options with a huge smile on face. Best place to buy gift which puts lifetime memory.”

Bistro at the Terminus runs with a grill-focused menu and a relaxed feel. Good value shows in the serve sizes. Ribs and steaks come seasoned and tender. Team members keep things friendly and on task....

“I popped into Saddlery Warehouse recently to grab a Christmas gift. I was amazed at the range on offer and the friendliness of the staff. When the item I wanted want in the size I needed the store assistant offered to have it couriered in from another branch. Great service, I will definitely be back!”

“Fantastic clothes for NZ women. Always shop on line and had to make sure I stopped on our road trip”

“I saw it as/in passing to go to Salvation Army opportunity shop in Mosgiel. Two opp shops at least here. Wanted a place to stay the night, but could've ventured back home. Drove back after visiting Mosgiel's opp shops. Also getting sushi lunch there. Drove up, met reception, had a look at the room available, asked the price, then said "I'll take it." Later upon my return, I settled in and can report well worth staying. The room reaches my expectations, even the jug was clean, some places jug has rust inside! Thank you to Regency Motels Mosgiel. (In closing, HeHe, I often wonder with these reviews, what it would be like, if the host was to write a review about---ME!? And other guests report of me, same. Maybe Neighbours of my unit might be writing noisy night, as neighbour was snoring, other than that, the resort was superb). Regards Dcuzbromatov.”

The Black Sheep Restaurant and Bar keeps things simple, bistro-style and focused on flavour. Sweets lean classic and not overly rich. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

At Krishna Indian Restaurant and Takeaways, the menu stays classic fish-and-chips, served with an easygoing pace. A coastal backdrop rounds out the stop. Stir-fries keep good heat and snap. Vegetarian picks read as complete plates.

“Explore the magic of glow worms at this fantastic free spot, conveniently close to the city. Remember to bring a headlamp to navigate in the dark, just be mindful not to shine it towards others. Embrace the enchantment responsibly and enjoy the glow worm spectacle!”

“Great place for either children playing on the skate ramp or on swing etc”

“Lovely beach. Safe wee area and then extends around the rocks, goes on for a very long while.”

“The Town Belt is part of Dunedin's Great Heritage -worth a wee tickytour along our town belt.”

“Good walking track. Return walk almost for 4 hours.”

“Incredible work by the OPERA! During our tour they explained us how they started it and they work towards the conservation of penguins and andemic wildlife in general. It goes from replanting trees to having a rehabilitation center for yellow eyed penguins. It is a great location if you want to spot little blue penguins, fur seals and sea lions without bothering them. And because of the rehabilitation center you have the chance to be close to yellow eyed penguins as well.”

“The Mole (spit) is a man made Peninsula at the northern opening of the Otago Harbour. It's built on a series of ship wrecks and covered with rocks. You may see an abundance of sea life, including Sea Lions, Seals, Penguins and lots of sea birds.”

“Took my moko there. Love the ambience and enjoyed the movie. Although when purchasing tickets, would be good if we could see how long the movie is. I wasn't expecting Jurassic Park to be so long.”

“Our salesperson Sov was excellent. He was informative, knowledgeable and genuine. We looked no further and bought on the spot. After the purchase we received the wrong product but realise until we had it home. Following a call and store visit to get the correct product, Dane and Josh were also amazing. Helpful, understanding and accommodating. A true throw back to the days of excellent customer service. What a refreshing experience. The store manager who gave us the wrong dishwasher to begin with and couldn't muster anything more than a "where's your receipt" could learn an awful lot from the excellent team of salespeople that clearly make the store a success.”

“Definitely recommend the team from Pacific Auto parts. From phone call to pick up was less than 30min and reasonable priced too. Thanks team, very happy with your service.”

“The best coffee ever I have. Thanks a lot Staff very nice and kindly. The vibes so warmly and lovey.”

“Coffee & Food --- both 10 out of 10. Coffee is not only delicious, it is also well presented(golden cream color & shape well drawn). I had toast sandwich today with up to 3 fillings only cost me $8! So delicious & great value for money. Let alone eating inside the most beautiful building of Dunedin so much like some of the arty buildings in lower Manhattan New York city. Love this place & will become my regular cafe now”

“Thank you to Dani. Excellent help and service. Much appreciated. Highly recommend going to my mate John's.”
