Visiting Us :

We are located in the Hewiston Wing of Knox College in the suburb of Opoho and directly opposite the Dunedin Botanical Gardens in North Dunedin. Cafés, a large supermarket, a bank, and a NZ Post agency are located just down the road.

Walking from Town : Allow about 45 minutes each way. Your walk can be partly made through the Botanical Gardens. Tourist maps may be obtained from the Visitor Information Centre.

Travelling by Bus : Take a Normanby bus (every 15 minutes) from Princes or George Street and alight at the Gardens Shopping Centre on the corner of North Road & Opoho Road. Walk up Opoho Road (about 10 minutes) and into Arden Street. Alternatively take an Opoho bus (every 20-40 minutes) from Princes / George Street and ask to alight at Arden Street. The Hewitson Wing of Knox College is the large three storied brick building built right onto Arden Street. Our entrance is the red door to the left of the main entrance to this wing.

Travelling by Taxi : Ask to be dropped off outside our entrance in the Hewitson Wing forecourt adjoining Arden Street (not the Knox College "Quad").

Travelling by Car : Drive up Opoho Road and turn into Arden Street. Drive straight ahead and down the "dip". Immediately to your right (Sylvan Street) is a public car park. All other parking areas around Knox College are by permit only. Alternatively a disability car park is located directly outside and slightly to the left of our entrance door (as per above) with a second disability park directly opposite. These car parks may only be utilized at other times for quick deliveries. Please note that car parking around Knox College can be problematic at times and you may need to park on Opoho Road (car parking facing up Opoho Road only).
