About the buildings
135 Cumberland Street
Dave bought 135 Cumberland Street in December 2015 as a complete wreck. The building was nominated for an earthquake strengthening engineering award in early 2017, and the strengthening work was finished that July. In September 2017 it was listed as a Category One heritage building. It was quite the journey, but the result is a place with real character, and it is a building the city can be proud of.
Union Steam Building, 38 Water Street
The building still carries its original Union Steam Ship Company signage, a reminder of Dunedin’s shipping past. Our Handy Inner City Apartment is one of the spaces here, right in the middle of town.
Heritage character
Exposed brick, deep window sills and original detail throughout. Guests often say it feels like a place with real history.
City location
Cafes, bakeries, restaurants and attractions are all within walking distance. The railway station is a short stroll away.
Dunedin has a busy events calendar, from markets and festivals to live music and shows. Check what is on before you visit.
Attentive hosting
Dave is a structural and environmental engineer, married with two sons. With help from Kirsty, Dave looks after every stay at 135 Cumberland Street. Communication is prompt and clear, and they are always happy to help with whatever you need, so your time with us runs smoothly.
