Public pools & Water park in Dunedin

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“Excellent beach, very calm day. Great for a swim.”

“Stunning views of the peninsula and ocean, with dramatic cliffs and erosion formations. The trail is easy, but close to cliff edges at some points so be careful. And there are sheep. Who doesn't love sheep? The road to get there is a narrow dirt road. I would avoid it in the rain, in an old, manual van.”

“Great dog park. Well set up. Loved the agility course”

“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.”

“Best pub to actually talk to people”

“Beautiful facility, lots of equipment that caters to each body part. Love the row machine and the cross trainer. Really good quality machines! Probably the best I've been on, in terms of gym equipment. Does get packed, just need to find that moment that is suitable for your needs. Thanks Unipol!!”

“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!!”

“Spectacular trees, and nice place to chill out”

“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.”

“An exceptionally beautiful beach where, with a bit of luck, you might spot many sea lions. Even if you don't see any, the beach is worth a visit, but the walk up and down is a bit arduous or takes a bit more time.”

“Great place to stop for a quick break from being in the car. Well maintained”

“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.”

“Beautiful caves after just a short walk down the beach”

“Comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I slept like a log to the sound of the waves and woke up to an amazing view. Recommended.”

“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.”

“Awesome place. Affordable membership you can easily cancel anytime. Gym has everything you need. It is usually very crowded after 4pm. There is a nice swimming pool and hot pool as well.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It's good to see they're controlling some of the bomerea in here - no easy feat. Great job!”

“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.”

“Lovely little Mitre 10 with the most common things you might need to grab. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.”

“A very beautiful beach. Lots of dog walkers in the afternoon/evening.”

“Beautiful native bush loop walk, a little slippery in places but otherwise nicely undulating and easy to walk.”

“Absolutely amazing hiking trail - we took a taxi from the city centre and got dropped off here to hike to Nicols falls. It was about a 15-20 minute hike, just make sure you take the left at the waterfall sign 300m into the track. Track was a little tricky and slippery even on a nice day - wouldn’t want to do the hike if it was raining as that would make it much more difficult. 10/10 recommend very peaceful and serene spot.”
