Dunedin Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Hello again, have got to the east coast after a bit of driving and have found some free internet access in Dunedin Library whilst it's raining outside and the surf is messy from some strong onshores. The luge on the mountain above Queenstown was very fun with a second run having to be made as we were allowed to graduate to the advanced track aft...

We woke this morning to fog everywhere. An announcement shortly before we were due to dock told us that the Port of Dunedin was closed, and we weren't going anywhere. The fog did start to lift, and eventually we have docked just now two hours late. That meant that we have missed our wildlife cruise, but we'll head into town and see if there is s...

EARTHQUAKES - we had two this morning one at 1 am and one at 3 am - When the first one happened I thought it was the girl on the top bunk moving about and that was why the bed was shaking and I slept perfectly well through the second one but they both measured 6.7 on the Richter scale! Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes - its all good down here!...

Decided to spend 2 nights in Dunedin rather than continuing on the Magic Bus to Lake Takepo, where I believed there would be a beautiful lake and not much else. I find I love scenery but also need my fix of Museums and Art Galleries.... Dunedin is Gaelic for Edinburgh apparently. Since I had yet to see a penquin, I decided to take the 1/2 day wi...

Last night was cold and wet, we woke to black sky and thunder this morning. Decided to pack up and go in to town to have a look around the shops before my Speight's Brewery tour was due at 12.00pm. Man, it was cold; saw a few snow flakes before we left the caravan park. Found all day parking for $5.00 at the Railway Station, which is a really be...

Its like scotland, wales and the shire all rolled into one with a twist of antartic. Beautiful, peaceful, bit of a student mecca down here, couldn't find any craic or any food wandering around freezing having spent a lovely day driving round a big pretty peninsular looking for albatross and finding only penguin. Went to new zealands only castle ...

Well, it's been awhile... First update, I don't have mono. Oddly enough, the blood tests (in which the first lady messed up and made me almost pass out) indicate that I have at some point already had mono. I guess it can sometimes have symptoms like a regular cold, so I must have had it and not even known. But I've felt better for awhile now, wh...

Stayed at Kiwi Nest Backpapers Dunedin. $60. Loud and dusty **. Catlins at Southern Secrets Motel $120! **** Fantastic and isolated. Sign on board if want to stay... Dunedin [Phil and Helen wake up after a few too many bevvies and seem to be lost somewhere in Edinburgh...] "Och big man, I dinnae remember George Street being this long aboot. Ye k...

Dunedin sits near the Otago Peninsula, where we watched yellow eyed penguins and royal albatrosses (nothing regal about the way they land, a kind of foot flapping crash). Dunedin was a originally a Scottish community. I'm not sure if this why a visit to the locals barbers ends up with my getting the worst haircut I have ever had. And I used to h...

I decided to go to Dunedin because I heard it was very similar to Edinburgh and had a large Scottish influence. As I made it clear in my post from Scotland, I loved (big heart) Edinburgh, so it sounded interesting to me. Since it was not on the Kiwi Experience bus route, I had to make my own way there. I ended up getting a ride with these 2 guys...
