Parks in Dunedin

“Beautiful walk along the beach. Perfect stroll for a clear afternoon.”

“We took the one hour wildlife cruise from Wellers Rock. The guide was very knowledgeable about the birds and other wildlife, their lifecycle, nesting and lots of other information. We saw albatross, little penguins and a couple of seals. They have jackets and binoculars that you can use. Great cruise, really enjoyed it.”

“Best coffee in town... Best selection of beans to take away. Ground to your prefence. Highly recommend a visit.”

Asian Star Food keeps things Thai-inspired and focused on flavour. Curries carry clear spice and warmth. Orders move at a steady clip. Value feels fair for the spread. Team members keep things friendl...

“We had a great experience here that we will definitely recommend people to go. Clean room, comfy beds and sofa, well organized kitchen area. John is so friendly and always would like to show you how to feed the sheep and alpaca. Not far away from Dunedin and we will stay there again if going down. ❤️”

“RdC is always a pleasure but today the sandwiches were amazing!! Coffee good, sunshine great. Prices extremely good for cafés in town.”

“great company and great communication. Would definitely recommend when looking for a flat, especially in Dunedin!”

“Big range of variety of gardens and plants. Nice walk to the aviary to see heaps of kākā and parrots. Duck feeding is available near the information center. Lots of other birds to watch around the gardens. Lots of street parking.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

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...

“Beautiful place. If you are here only for an afternoon or you have a SC vehicle it is a good spot. It is just few metres from the beach, there are picnic tables to use, serviced toilets, outdoor shower, dump station and running watter as well as a sink for washing up (cold water only though). There are 10 spots for the camping in ur car and they do fill up in quick after 3 pm. Beautiful sunrise. Good for dipping in the sea but beware of currents.”

“My wife our daughter and her family have stayed in a holiday home there for the past two years and plan to do so next year. We love the beach. Lovely sand, great for children and dogs to play. We saw many dogs and horses up and down the beach. There are cliffs at the southern end where houses have a wonderful sea view. As we walked down that way we saw that there were " islands" there. Soft smooth sand and fantastic rocks to explore. The rock formations are splended, well worth the visit. The chilren and pet dog loved climbing over the rocks and cliffs.”

“It's such a beautiful walk views are amazing must do walk”

“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 :)”

“I walk there in November, the smell of the sea mixed with the blooming flowers was amazing. Simple wild beach, loved it .”

“What a selection of beer! If you are in Dunedin and missing the UK reminds you of home. So many choices and a very friendly owner passionate about what he does…..good job I don’t live here be in daily.”

“Fantastic views South to Dunedin, and north up the coast, and inland to the remaining peaks. Apparently very few people make their way up here, perhaps because a lot of students don't have cars, but the view really is worth the short trip up the hill, as long as the weather is good.”

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.

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 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.”

“Great loop track walk - a couple of good climbs to work up a brunch appetite... Nice and scenic too...”

“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!”

“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!”

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.
