Our stay in Elenor's place worked out really well. Firstly the location is really good. It's super easy to access the university, the botanical gardens, a supermarket is nearby, as well as some good cafes. The one way system means getting in and out of town is very, very easy. And if you like mountain biking there's very really good riding around. And actually if you come to town with bicycles the set is good with bike lanes up the North East Valley and good road riding to Mt Cargill and over the hill to Port Charmers, etc. For those seeking pain - you are on Baldwin Street.
The house has everything you need with some nice touches (including a really good coffee pot) and lovely linen. It's an old school Dunedin cottage - so the neighbours are close - but there's a couple of deck chairs to catch the afternoon sun if the weather is being kind. We very much enjoyed Elenor's place and will be very happy to stay again.
Our other recommendations for visitors to Dunedin - check out the bagels place just down the road. The walk in the botanical gardens and varsity is worthwhile. Emersons has a good set-up for a crafty beer, Starfish at St Clair for a brunch and beach walk is recommended. And go for a drive on the Peninsular. Signal Hill for views and mountain bike. Nice !
