Where to eat and stay in Alexandra

21 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Alexandra, Otago — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 21 venues in Alexandra — 11 places to eat and 10 to stay. That makes it the 8th-largest of the 117 towns and suburbs we cover in Otago, carrying 2% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 27% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Alexandra eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 3 cafés, 2 restaurants, 4 takeaways, 1 bars and 1 pubs.

7 of the 11 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (2), burger (1) and thai (1). None of them is far out of line with the national picture; the mix here is broad rather than specialised.

On the practical detail: 6 publish opening hours (29%) and 3 have outdoor seating. That is about the national average of 23%.

For a bed, Alexandra runs to 10 listings — 1 motels, 2 b&bs and guest houses, 3 hostels, 1 serviced apartments and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hostels dominate, at 30% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 48% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Kumeū (21), Ferrymead (21), Northcote (21) and Rototuna (21) — average 4% accommodation. Alexandra runs at 48%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 21 venues in Alexandra carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
