We hold 243 venues in Dunedin — 196 places to eat and 47 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Otago, and 22% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 6th out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 32% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Dunedin is 4 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 62 cafés, 76 restaurants, 31 takeaways, 19 bars and 8 pubs.

108 of the 196 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are asian (14), burger (10) and pizza (9). Relative to the rest of the country Dunedin is unusually strong on curry, cake and asian — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 122 publish opening hours (50%), 57 are recorded as step-free, 23 have outdoor seating and 38 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Dunedin runs to 47 listings — 15 hotels, 13 motels, 14 hostels, 2 serviced apartments and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 32% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Rotorua (263), Queenstown (216), Palmerston North (187) and Nelson (185) — average 31% accommodation. Dunedin runs at 19%, noticeably less, so it feeds locals more than it beds travellers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 24 of the 243 venues in Dunedin 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.
