Explore Dunedin on an Ebike

Exploring Dunedin by eBike is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to see the city, and a full-day rental gives you the freedom to do it at your own pace. Just a short walk (around 10–15 minutes) from your central Dunedin accommodation, the self-service kiosk at Harrow Street is perfectly located near the start of the Harbour Cycle Loop.

The eBikes are comfortable, easy to use, and ideal for Dunedin’s varied terrain, especially the hills. A full-day hire lets you explore far beyond the city centre, whether that’s cruising along the scenic Otago Harbour, heading out towards Portobello, or making a full loop adventure.

One of the most popular rides is the Harbour Loop. It’s a mostly flat, scenic ride with plenty of great stops along the way for coffee, food, or just soaking up the views.

Everything you need is included, from helmets and locks to maps and helpful tips.

Taste local spirits, made from bread!

Did you know you could make spirits from surplus bread? If you’re after something a little different in Dunedin, the Bread to Bottle Working Distillery Tour is a must-do.

During the tour, you’re guided through both the brewhouse and distillery. You’ll learn about the innovative process that transforms leftover bread into gin, vodka, and liqueurs. It’s a fascinating mix of sustainability and craftsmanship, with plenty of opportunities to see the equipment in action.

Tours are typically small and personal, often led by the founders of Dunedin Craft Distillers or their knowledgeable staff. Depending on what’s happening that day, you might even get to sample fermented “bread wash” or watch the distilling process up close.

The 45-minute experience wraps up with a guided tasting, where you can try a selection of their small-batch spirits and really appreciate the flavours created from this clever upcycling approach.

Your Dunedin Accommodation

Right in the heart of Dunedin’s CBD, Fable Dunedin is a beautifully restored boutique hotel that blends historic charm with modern luxury. Set inside the former Wains Hotel dating back to 1862, it’s just a short stroll to the Octagon, making it an ideal base for exploring the city’s cafés, shops, and cultural highlights.

As Dunedin’s only 5-star boutique hotel, Fable offers an intimate stay with around 50 stylish rooms and suites, each designed with a nod to the city’s Scottish heritage—think rich textures, tartan accents, and contemporary finishes.

The Superior King Rooms range from around 20–31sqm. They feature a plush king bed (which can be split into king singles if needed), elegant interiors, and thoughtful touches.

Breakfast is served onsite at The Press Club, the hotel’s stylish restaurant and bar. Expect a full cooked breakfast, alongside a relaxed but refined atmosphere to start your day.
