Dunedin Lodges - Reviews and Rates

It's cold and cloudy. We're now on the other side, on the east coast at Dunedin. Most New Zealanders live on this side of the South Island, so the roads are bigger again with a lot of traffic, and also the city is bigger, but without any skyscrapers. It's really all looking very English here. Today I didn't join any activities, so there was plen...

Another lovely drive in beautiful New Zealand, stopping at Benmore Dam, Elephant Rocks (Aslan's Camp in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe,) Omaru and the Moreaki Boulders we arrived in Dunedin once again impressed by New Zealand. Out into Dunedin, we started at the excellent Otago Museum. And then we went to Cadbury's World. It was amazing, al...

I caught the early bus outa dodge (aka, Queenstown) this morning. It was freezing. It was so cold, in fact, that there was frost on the ground in places on our way to Dunedin. The vineyards were employing helicopters to blow hot air down on the vines, so they wouldn't freeze. I arrived in Dunedin early enough that I could have a shower, do laund...

So this weekend we went to another rugby match Friday evening at Carrisbrook....the local team (Highlanders) were playing the Hurricanes from Wellington. It was a Super 14 match...thats a competition down on this side of the world for the best 14 club teams from South Africa, New Zealand and Australia! The Highlanders are pretty useless to be ho...

Didn't do much in Dunedin. We walked around a bit last night and this morning. Like most NZ towns and cities there loads of pretty 19th century buildings to look at. Spent the morning sauntering along George Street near the university which has to have more coffee shops per kilometer than any other place in the world. Ate a good Chinese dinner a...

Yes indeed, disaster did almost strike. An event so disastrous infact that it could have completely ruined the remainder of my trip around New Zealand. Whilst hacking away at my facial hair the other day, it had got to the point where I was eating it and finding food from days previous hidden away, my camera case and camera, my absolute companio...

From Milford we drove East to Invercargill. Invercargill is nothing to write home about, but the most southerly point I think either of us has even been in the world...they also roll their R's there - apparently because lots of Scots settled there and consequently they now have a kiwi accent but roll their Rs like a scottish accent! From Inverca...

Weary and blurry eyed from the Queenstown's frivolities I made my way to Dunedin (on the east) for a night, then onto Lake Tekapo. Dunedin was nice enough, I arrived on a Sunday when everything was closed and the weather was overcast, and I was tired... So the combination of factors resulted in my not being exactly overwhemlned by the city. The ...

the stretch south of christchurch was not what i was expecting from south island...flat, boring, and full of industry and alpaca farms. as we neared dunedin however, i felt as if i was driving into north yorkshire. unfortunately the rolling hills were not matched by small towns with stone buildings and cosy pubs. i am quickly learning that towns...
