Believe everything you read about the location - it's great. We enjoyed walking to multiple restaurants and cafes along 30th street. Dunedin New Zealand Eats has a cookie dessert baked in a skillet and topped with ice cream that we had 3 out of the 4 nights we were in town. Also, the Taco Stand is SO close. There is plenty of street parking nearby, but you could also walk and/or electric scooter to many places - we took an electric scooter to the zoo. We visited during some cold days so we had to keep the heater on throughout the day and didn't enjoy the patio. Even with the heater on, it stayed cold in the bedroom and bathroom area.
