Parks in Dunedin

“The Ross Creek Reservoir is an artificial lake. One of the oldest artificial lakes in the country, and the oldest water supply reservoir still in use in the country, it was created in the 1860s to provide water for the city of Dunedin, at that time in the middle of rapid expansion due to the goldrush.It is like a track,walk run whatever one want they can do it.it has a good history and also waterfall u might think its natural but its not as its the artificially created but its lovely.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“this trail was easy to moderate and had some uphill parts and flat parts. its a very fun and interesting trail as it has a mix of walking through forest, bush areas and open flat areas. the views are really nice throughout the whole walk too!!”

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

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

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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!”

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

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

“We only stayed one night, were wishing we had booked for longer! Was a neat tidy unit, heater was on when we got there which was nice......we were late with our arrival and they couldn't have been more understanding. Rural location, really quiet, no light coming into room at night and pet friendly!! Cutest receptionist ever, thank you Mr Darcy. Would happily go back and recommend.”

“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.”

“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”

“Nice setting for a meal, beautiful gardens to go wander around and spend some time with family. Food was superb, I think they didn't had their regular front of house team on as service was a little unsure of themselves. The brisket was top notch and filling. Good size portion for the price.”

“Very good place to have a barbecue with big family or friends. Or walk with your dog. And children will be happy to play here.”

“Fabulous coffee and food! Highly recommend the filter coffee, check what’s on offer each day as it changes, I had a very nice single origin Ethiopian. Espresso also great. And, very tasty food, we had breakfast 3 days in a row and can recommend the granola, also had poached eggs and bacon with a house made rosti in place of bread to make it gluten free (gf bread also an option). Staff are super helpful and friendly :)”

“We stayed one night on the world’s steepest street, and it was quite an experience. The street is really steep—so steep that we couldn’t even stand still on it! Driving up to drop off our luggage was a bit of a challenge, but it made the stay even more memorable. Definitely something special to see.”

“The campground is spacious and there are flush toilets open 24/7 just by the nearby playground about a minutes walk away. Easy access to beach and blueskin bay, nice and tranquil with good viewing areas for sunset and rise.”

“Six cinema rooms, good size, lots of seats. The premises were clean. The building is beautiful. Good selection of movies. Clean toilets.”

At Great Wall Takeaways, the menu stays classic fish-and-chips, served with an easygoing pace. Blue cod and other fillets arrive fresh with light batter. Service stays present without fuss. A sensible spend for the quality.

On the plate at Paasha Turkish Cafe & Restaurant, the idea is coffee-and-cabinet and well executed. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Grill work shows a clean sear and rested meats. Value feels fair for the spread.

“Great for kids of all ages. They have a toddler time on Saturday morning from 9 -10 am which is great for the little ones. I also often go on a Wednesday afternoon when it's quiet. Great price and no extra charge for parents when supervising little ones. You do need grippy socks which they sell there.”
