 "High on a hill overlooking downtown Dunedin, Elm Lodge is a hike to get to, but well worth the effort. It’s only a five- to ten-minute walk to the Octagon, Dunedin’s center, but it’s a twenty- or twenty-five-minute walk back up the hill, including two hundred stairs. The hostel’s rooms are spread between three buildings, all sharing one yard. The buildings are close...
 "The Adventurer Backpacker is located in an older building and what is lacking in amenities it makes up for in charm. Its central location to the Octagon in Dunedin makes its location prime. You are within walking distance from most train and bus depots and groceries, shopping, bars, restaurants, and tours. Next to location, the other thing that was most impressive about the Adventurer is...
 "This is a small and friendly hostel in an old manor house that has seen better days. The rooms are simple and clean, but some of them have poor lighting. The toilets and showers are reasonably clean, but are old and have a musty feel about them. The kitchen is small but adequate. The lounge is nice and cosy and there are plenty of comfortable chairs to sink into and watch a bit of...
 "Staying in Dunedin? On Top Backpackers is a good place to stay. Located in the center of town and with new facilities and friendly staff, you won't be disappointed. On Top Backpackers is across the street from the Town Hall on the corner of Filleul Street and Moray Place. Just look for the large white building with lots of large windows and the hostel sign. On Top Backpackers has good, new,...
 "There's more character in this building than in any other hostel in New Zealand. It's all creaky floorboards and stuff, a great place to stay." … "great architecture, very nice and clean rooms with a lot of charm. great facilities and staff is helpful. We loved this place and you should book ahead because it's always full!" … "The ONLY place to stay in Dunedin-unless wheelchair...
Penny's offers a warm and comfortable atmosphere with new decor and spacious rooms and a full range of facilities to make your stay in Dunedin both affordable and exceptional.Pennys is located within easy walking distance of the many attractions the downtown district of Dunedin City has to offer.Whether you are a dedicated backpacker, vacationer or a frequent visitor to Dunedin, Pennys offers...
 "The Kiwi's Nest is a great old house with a lot of charm and character. It's actually comprised of the main two-story house, a separate dormitory structure, and another separate self-contained cottage. Staying in one of the more private rooms (single, twin, or double) in the main house is like staying in an extremely comfortable boarding house rather than a backpackers. The only drawback for...
 "From the outside, this hostel doesn't look very special. However, it is located in the heart of Dunedin and is an ideal location to explore the city. It is within two minutes walk of everything you need including museums, galleries, cafes, bars, and lots more. The hostel is newly refurbished and this is reflected in the modern new rooms -- all of which have good beds, cosy duvets, and nice...
"Queen's Gardens Backpackers (formerly Penguin Palace) is a convenient place to stay in the centre of Dunedin, as it is just five minutes' walk from the Octagon (no steep hills to climb) and is handy to Intercity and local buses. It also has twenty-four-hour check-in -- although if you are arriving late at night or in the "wee small hours" you will need to go to the Leviathan Hotel two minutes'...
 "I've stayed here a few times and it's always great, clean, and friendly." … "not great, weird owner (basil faulty), terrible kitchen, travelers being worked for no wages, imagine the standards, needs a paint job, deserted." … "Centrally located, 300 meters from the city centre Five minutes from shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment 24 hour entry Fully equipped kitchen Laundry...
774 Portabello Road
"Small numbers in warm spacious rooms of this grand historic home, superior beds and facilitiues, central location. Ideal Dunedin base or place to chill out. Chloe the friendly Labrador dog makes you feel at home while knowledgeable friendly hosts ensure a quality visit with best use of your resources. BBQ in our sunny courtyard garden. 10 minute walk to city attractions. Free parking....
 "Fantastic!!!" … "This place freaked the hell out of me! I think it used to be a hospital or school for sick kids, or maybe even an old convent (or wherever nuns live). Either way, there are rumors of a ghost and even though I didn't see one I did get an eerie feeling walking around the downstairs at night! Brrrr. It's cool, though, with a HUGE industrial kitchen, little nooks and crannies...
