Pets in Dunedin

The kitchen at Lake Waihola Cafe & Bar takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Fish is cooked to a clean crunch and chips stay tidy. Sides support without crowding the star. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Amazing store, amazing staff Even new staff under training get to know regular customer preferences and in general they way the staff treat you is the best I've seen at any supermarket anywhere. Always clean and tidy and always has an atmosphere of welcome and efficiency. What I like the most is the age range of staff.”

The kitchen at Chong's Restaurant Dunedin 鮮味仙面館 takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Curries carry clear spice and warmth. Value feels fair for the spread. Sweet‑and‑sour stays balanced and crisp.

“Bargain chemist has superb and friendly service. Definitely my preference for otc medications and skincare.”

“I had a great experience at this pharmacy! Jeremy, the soft-spoken pharmacist, went above and beyond to help my family get our 11-year-old kids the Boostrix vaccination. He wasn't sure if he could administer it, but he took the time to find the right information, explaining all of the information nicely, and even made several phone calls to help us out. We really appreciate his kind assistance.”

“Can't recommend this place enough had an amazing stay very clean,tidy and lovely and quiet. excellent service and great staff highly recommended and only 5 minutes to town by car.”

“If you are wanting a weekend away with a bit of history then this place is perfect! Walking distance to anywhere in mosgiel very convenient.”

“Good friendly service in this store.”

“Excellent staff great atmosphere, nice place to have an ale”

“First time staying here, and was so happy with our stay. Two bedroom apartment was perfect for our stay, plenty of room to relax. Location is great, easy walk to Forsyth Barr through the University and close to lots of food options.”

“cool rooms, can smoke on the deck, flexible and accommodating staff. as far as 3 start places this is a 5 star 3 star”

“I had the pleasure of staying at the Chalet Backpackers for some months a few years ago. My stay left such an impression that I felt compelled to write this review. Met loads of awesome people and wow what an interesting and beautiful building! The owner Richard and administrator Chris were not only friendly and but also great to chat with. I felt thoroughly comfortable and entertained throughout my stay. All in all I couldn't recommend Chalet Backpackers more highly and on my next trip to Dunedin I'll surely spend some more time there :)”

“As a visitor from NSW, Australia, I can't believe Woolworths has a pharmacy inside it! And it sells alcohol inside as well! (not a separate store like in Australia). Also saw sausages being sold in a plastic bag! Then my credit card bill still says Countdown instead of Woolworths, which was their old name! New Zealand is truly an interesting place.”

No worries but aye g, all iz forgiven, had heaps of raro and yummy focaccia churrrr, hahahah youse better b watching border security on telly when they pull me up at Sydney airport 4 having a suitcase full of raro aye hahahahaha Much love pak n save Dunedin”

“Absolutely outstanding service from Lisa, the checkout manager at Fresh Choice Roslyn, Dunedin. We asked if it was possible to organise a fruit gift basket — something most places would have simply said no to — but Lisa immediately sprang into action. With a can-do attitude and genuine customer care, she made it happen on the spot. We were so impressed by her initiative and professionalism. A real credit to the store. Thank you, Lisa!”

“We had a powered site for two nights (early October 2025). The bathrooms are very clean & tidy (plenty of toilets and showers). And there's a large kitchen, with a seated dining area. The hosts are very nice. Oh, the location is just behind the beach. And the caravan park is perfectly located = short 8min drive to the city (easiest parking for motorhomes is directly across the train tracks, from the Dunedin train station). It's a quick walk up over the tracks to access the train station AND the city centre. And 30min north-east of the caravan park is the Albatross Centre (worth going to). There's a "coastal route" and a "plateau route" = both are the MOST scenic drives you shall ever do in your life.”

“We attended our daughter's dinner in the chancellor room.We had a bar and a big dining room and foyer for photos for the wedding .Our hostess and bar tender Charlotte was personable and very professional.We loved the atmosphere and we were grateful for all the help Charlotte did for us by setting flowers and decorations around the room. 5 stars at the fable hotel. THANK YOU”

“Stayed in a studio cabin. Good and clean. Good kitchen (no oven though if you needed one of those). Comfortable. Plenty of parking space. Suspect may be cold in winter with only one electric heater. Good walks nearby. Friendly staff.”

“Owen's motel is clean tidy warm and comfortable with everything needed for an easy stay.”

“Upon booking in the lovely receptionist Kate met and greet with me a warm smile and welcoming vibes. She made check in so easy and made sure we were all accomadated and had had everything we needed on arrival. Thank you Kate for an enjoyable and warm arrival.”

“Stayed here for many months while I worked in Dunedin and couldn't recommend enough. The staff Bianca and Mitz are so welcoming and really look after the guests! There's a bar downstairs with cheap drinks and good vibes too! Highly recommend :)”

“Darius attended to my wee dog late on Saturday night. She had eaten something that made her ill. I'd like to say what a kind, caring vet he was. He had nice manners appearing well trained in his customer service and very knowlegable as a young Veterinarian. Thank you Clutha Vets and thank you Darius.”

“We are so incredibly grateful for the service and support from Krystle and the Aqua Paws team. Our darling Golden Retriever, Luka, suffered a cruciate ligament injury in 2021 and underwent TTA surgery at 11 years old in 2022. The pre op and post op Hydrotherapy Luka received at Aqua Paws has made such an impact to his recovery. Luka had lost so much muscle mass while he waited for his surgery, but Krystle's treatment plan and guidance has helped him to regain his strength, and his mobility is far beyond what we thought he would have post op given his age and degree of arthritis. Now at 12.5 years old, Luka can go on 30 min walks multiple times a week and enjoy mucking about with his puppy sister. Luka loves his weekly sessions with Krystle and Danielle and although treats are definitely a contributing factor!! He genuinely enjoys his time in the tank. We can not recommend Krystle and the team at Aqua Paws enough!! They have given our boy a new lease on life and for that we are forever grateful ❤️”

“The best breakfast I ever had!! And rooms are so clean and cosy. The garden is just amazing! But the best thing is Mary and Pat themselves! So open hearted and friendly! One of the best B&B stays I ever had!”

“Our springer spaniel loves her grooms with Nicole. Great location. Quick and easy communication. Highly recommend”

“Amazing place! My wee 14 year old dog was treated like a queen. Such amazing service and I was left to feel like they really cared about my dog and put her health first. Prices are great too and staff were all so friendly, can't recommend this place enough, this will be my dogs new vet from now on, the drive down is totally worth it.”

“Such a great clinic with kind and awesome staff”

“A quiet and cozy house with nice view, heart here.”

“much love for Billy and his farm stay!”

“Louise was amazing, kind & patient with my very elderly dog, taking his needs into consideration. Very highly recommended”
