I don't think I've been anywhere, at least in Australia and NZ, that has so many. The quality and pricing is also quite reasonable, for the most part. What's your favourite one?
Need to stock up on kindling, the cheaper the better, wheres the best price per bag in dunedin/mosgiel area? Cheers
Where is the best places to go to try to watch the Aurora around Dunedin
Wish this was a joke.
To the couple we interrupted in the stairwell of the Health Sciences library .... Our bad guys! Hope you had a chance to finish it up in your own room! Bahahaha
i.e. any walk in shops?
I know George St only got finished very recently, but today walking along it I kept getting whiffs of what I assume was the sewer. I never noticed it before pre-construction. Is this just me?
Is Jday still going ahead today? There are currently dancers at The Octagon, but not much else!
Hi, I’m looking to buy my first home within the next six months or less. Probably will get a three bedroom and have some flatmates. Just wondering how difficult it is to get flatmates ? I would be looking for young professionals or students in their 30s or 40s, as I am in my 40’s. I have been living with Family for years, so don’t know: What’s the rental market like out there? Am I stupid to buy a three bedroom?
Certainly I would not want to overcharge anyone in fact try and not have a high rent at all. I like to help people and I know how hard it is to afford rent, food bills and everything these days.
As I will be at the bottom end of the market, I will probably end up buying around Wakari or Brockville or Mornington etc. Just wondering, what people are thinking about the rental market right now?
I am considering that I would rent two bedrooms out to a single parent, as I was a single parent a very long time. I would definitely try and give them a decent deal.
It is very hard to get a rental property ? I’m a relaxed person. I certainly wouldn’t be going around bossing my flatmates around.
I would treat it as a flat. But certainly not a party flat for young students, they wouldn’t want to live with me anyway LOL
I work as a nurse, shift work so my flatmates would have plenty of time in evenings and weekends when I am not at the house
Any garage sales on this Sunday in Dunedin? Post your street/suburb if you have one going on!
Lacking inspiration, does anywhere do takeaway deals on a Thursday night?
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has been to both of the escape rooms in Dunners and could recommend if one was a better experience than the other? Ik there are lots of rooms, I'd like to go to the Wizard/witchcraft one for my friends birthday, but unsure what one to pick, both places look really cool. Tia!
As the title says, looking for a tailor to get some jeans altered. Any recommendations for a place that isn’t too pricy but does reliable work.
They had a pretty amazing lunch special deal (can't remember exactly, like 10.99$ or something for curry + naan) but then they closed from fire
Visiting Dunedin in about a month for a long weekend. Any suggestions of where to dine with good vegan options? Thanks!
Few drinks with a few mates, where’s good?
Heading to Dunedin with the wife on Saturday for a few days. She's never been and it's been upwards of 20 years since I've been. Hit me with your must do/ must see recommendations please!
Edit: thanks for your excellent suggestions. I'm really looking forward to exploring and seeing your great recommendations!

As a person who swam lots at Moana Pool when I was a kid, I was very proud to hear that 3 Dunedin swimmers will represent NZ at the upcoming Olympics.
Congratulations to all three for making it to the team and good luck for your races!
I hope if guilty they get prison for a long time. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350261810/high-profile-dunedin-man-faces-raft-new-charges
I’m on a working holiday visa here in Dunedin, as far as I remember I’ve been looking for a more stable job since I’ve first moved here 6 months ago coming from Queenstown. I’ve been working three jobs to make ends meet.
Recently had to leave an awful OSCAR program job as they’re as deceitful as the last one I worked at . I have been in such a stressful situation as my other job is stable but doesn’t generate much income , and my other work is only on call. Been applying for a long time here for jobs I’m also qualified and it’s been rejections after rejections . I’m at a loss as I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford living here anymore ,I also have a partner so it’s not easy for me to just go. Should I move to a different city where there’s more work or should I keep trying here in this city or should I just go back home . My hearts been feeling heavy and unsettled and I could really use some advice as I don’t know what to do anymore
Side note: came to Dunedin to be with my partner as housing in central wasn’t doable for both of us
Ian Owen (the owner) has had my vehicle for over six months claiming to be waiting on parts from the dealership in order to rebuild my transmission. I was pregnant when I dropped the car off and now that baby is rounding 6 weeks old, I finally have the mental head space to deal with this issue. We have been in contact during the past few months always with the same excuse, waiting on parts. But I contacted the dealership and they haven’t had any orders from him in over five years. I am sick of waiting and want my car back but he isn’t answering his phone, isn’t at the garage and his website is long gone. The building has recently been sold so I expect he is out of business. I just want my car back! If anyone has had past experiences with Ian please message me, I am collecting witnesses to submit a complaint to the companies office. Hopefully they can do something.
