Dunedin Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Today started sunny but on our way south we had showers off and on. We made a stop in Timaru for lunch and walked around a bit. Not much to see so we headed to Moeraki where there are round spherical boulders lying along the shore. They were created by a process similar to the formation of oyster pearls, where layers of material cover a central ...

We were having a rest day today so we cycled/walked/ran up the steepest street in the world with a gradient of 2.86. Despite my I'm very tied but seem unable to stop mindset which was causing me to want to cycle out along the otago peninsular, it was late so we caught a bus there and did a boat trip on which we saw: Albatross (amazing!) on the o...

Tuesday 21 October Dunedin I spent most of the day following Southern Scenic Tourism Route roads through Southland and the Catlins. From the outskirts of Invercargill, they led me first to Fortrose then through Otara past Slope Point to Curio Bay. I had lunch in Niagara then went through Chaslands to Tautuko Bay, the Purakaunui Falls and Owaka t...

yesterday i was able to catch a free ride out to the penninsula again. one of the guys who's been staying at the hostel for a little while decided to go out to Seal Point Beach to try and see the yellow-eyed penguins come in before sunset and asked if i wanted to go. he's a kiwi and works for a fishery out of wellington and we had exchanged some...

I took the ship shuttle into town today, it's about 20 minutes away. I walked around the town and took in some of the sights. I was disappointed with the Cadbury World of Chocolate (the factory and store) because I wasn't allowed to go into the store - to spend money on chocolate - if I wasn't holding a tour ticket for the factory tour. So, inst...

Ben & I are finally off to Dunedin! We got a bit of a late start, leaving at around 1pm. We were up late at a BBQ hosted by some friends of Ben, Rachel & Kas. It was quite an interesting evening, with all of Ben's workmates there, and all completely ****** from hours of drinking. It was apparently an early day for them, on account of the...

Hi Everybody, I just arrived at my flat in Dunedin a few days ago and now I have my Internet up and running, so I wanted to take a moment to tell you about my trip so far. I have had an amazing time and there is so much to tell, but I'll just stick to the highlights. I attached a few photos for those people that want to see it for themselves. Fi...

Glad to get out of Gore, I wasn't going to make the same mistake again so booked accomodation early. Stayed at Hogwarts, a manor house up one of the steepest hills in Dunedin. Since Dunedin has the world record for the steepest street in the world, it was a bloody step hill. My ears actually popped on the way up. Walking into Hogwarts and a litt...

Finally got a few pictures up (and a video!), nothing too spectacular yet but I'm getting there. Things are going well, the complex is finally full so we have our full flat, I think it will work out rather well. I'm glad that Lisa has arrived, I think I've done more in the last two days than I did in the first week. The Botanic Gardens are nice,...

20.04 - Unfortunately I woke up late again this morning - half past ten, it's a disgrace! The first thing I did was to ring Mum back home to discuss travel arrangements for when they get out here. Someone was calling me on my mobile whilst I am asleep and apparently it was Uncle Metro again. I always seem to miss his calls, I guess it's just bad...
