YHA Dunedin

Comfortable and cosy, this rambling hostel is full of character and charm and located only a short walk from the city centre.

Stafford Gables was built as a hospital early last century by one of Dunedin's foremost architects. Now it's a place where even the ghosts make you feel at home. A roof-top garden offers views from the city to the sea - perfect for stargazing and sunrises.

Stafford Gables is a wonderful place to come home to after a day exploring Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula.
Relax by the fire, watch a video, or read in the sunroom.
And make sure you have a chat with Frostie, the hostel dog.

Dunedin is Edinburgh's alter-ego. The city and its university are interwoven with cafes, pubs and unique architecture. Visit New Zealand's only castle, travel on the Taieri Gorge railway, tour the chocolate factory or Speight's Brewery.

Wildlife around the harbour includes albatross, seals, sea-lions and yellow-eyed penguins. Taiaroa head is the only place in the world where albatross nest on the mainland.
