24 HOURS IN DUNEDIN
MORNING
MID-MORNING
Enjoy a brisk morning walk along St Clair Beach and then take a dip at St Clair Pool. This delightful ocean-fronting Lido dates back to the 1800s. Albeit outdoors, it’s warmed year-round to 28°C. For breakfast, Starfish on the waterfront has outdoor seating and a delightful menu, including bright blue mermaid lattes!
Dunedin is home to a wealth of impressive street art. Download a map of the city’s street art trail and set off on a self-guided walk. Afterward, head to OCHO Chocolate Factory for a one-hour chocolate tour.
LUNCHTIME Head down to Dunedin’s harbourfront for lunch at Plato.
As well as a huge (and hugely intriguing) display of quirky collectables, the fresh fish menu has foodies raving.
AFTERNOON Not only is the Dunedin Botanic Garden centrally located, it’s also free. Wander between themed gardens, glass houses and duck ponds before heading to the aviary. The parrots will keep you entertained for ages.
EVENING May we suggest a cocktail at one of Dunedin’s many interesting little bars before taking in a show? Check a gig guide for local bands; head to the Globe Theatre for quality drama, Regent Theatre in the Octagon for opera, or time your visit for a big event at the impressive Forsyth Barr Stadium.

A patchwork of narrow country roads and small farms divided by hawthorn hedge and oak trees makes Mosgiel feel distinctly English, but it is indeed part of Dunedin, just 15km west of the city centre and separated by hills. In 2018, Mosgiel became a ‘Motorhome-Friendly Town’ and can host large numbers of campervans on its many sites.
