Arden Street House

In North Dunedin, about 3 km from the city centre. Minutes from Dunedin Botanic Garden, Otago Museum, Baldwin Street and Forsyth Barr Stadium, this character bed & breakfast sits in a quiet, central spot with free on-site parking.

A warm 1930s sea-captain home with stained-glass sea motifs and an arty, quirky vibe. Bedrooms are themed (African or Art Deco), large and sunny with garden and rolling-hillside views; rooms feature TV, heaters, electric blankets and hairdryers, and some have en-suite bathrooms. Hosts Joyce and Dave (and cheeky cats Tweety and Cutie) add a genuine homestay feel.

Leafy garden with great views, a library, picnic and BBQ area, tour/ticket assistance and laundry. Wi‑Fi is available on the property and free self-parking is provided. Expect a friendly, social atmosphere and small-home comforts.

Wireless internet access (surcharge noted) and laundry facilities. Free self-parking onsite.

A complimentary breakfast is included. Hosts also host occasional communal dinners using produce from their organic garden—an easy way to taste local flavours and meet colourful locals.
