New Zealand Luxury Motels

Dunedin is rich in heritage and culture and takes great pride in the preservation of its architecture. Scottish settlement in the 1800's and the gold rush provided the period when many fine examples of Victorian and Edwardian buildings were constructed.
Set at the base of Otago Peninsula, Dunedin City sprawls up the hills offering fantastic views of the harbour and surrounding picturesque landscape.

Home to New Zealands oldest university the city has a vibrant university population. There is a treasure trove of galleries, shops, cafes and retaurants.
