Lived in Dunedin for 11 years, loved it, it gets more busy when the students come back after the summer holidays! Worth a drive out on the peninsula to the albatross colony, magic views
I wouldn’t go that far, it’s the students and the fact no suburban malls in Dunedin.. try it in Winter or go out for a meal on Monday night if anything is open.
I'm 22 years old from Dunedin, lived here for my whole life and I'm itching to and travel to see the world. It's taking me a while to sort it all out and save up money so I'm getting a bit of cabin fever. It's made me get sick of Dunedin and lately I've grown to view it through the lens of the bad aspects it has and grow tired of it. But I've realised that's just because I'm from here and need a fresh start somewhere else for a while. It's cool to see my home through the eyes of someone who it's new to again. There is a lot of really nice things about Dunedin that I do love and I shouldn't take for granted. It's a nice city to have grown up in and a nice city to raise a family one day. I'm certain that after I've traveled away for a while I'll love and appreciate it again when I return. Thanks for featuring my town guys, really cool video ❤
At 22, you have plenty of time, as a native English speaker, you have heaps of options. Try Au pairing, then getting working holiday visas for different countries!
You should definitely get out and see the world like Europe, East Asia or the Americas. I think anyone who doesn’t live beyond NZ for at least 6 months is a tragedy. But don’t get too down in Dunedin. I’m from Wellington and I love the place (even though most Dunedinites don’t seem to like Wellington much back hahaha). Yeah it’s cold, and its economy had been in stagnation for about 4-5 decades, and most of its old industries are gone, and its now dependent on the varsity, and that varsity has become a rich kid’s playground, and it’s a bit of a big town. But it’s got so much character and there are so many interesting and creative and outgoing people there once you can scratch the surface. And I have to fight back my jealousy over all that great indie rock music that came out of there back in the 1980s. I like it so much better than boring and conservative old Christchurch. I think it’s got so much unrealised potential, it just needs a good city council and regional council for a few decades and maybe build some industries around that University.
I left in the 70s , lived all over NZ , moved to Oz mid 70s , travelled , then came ' home ' to retire . I love that so many of the city's iconic structures remain .
You guys make me laugh, Mado always likes the op shops and crystal shops: Glen likes the cafes! Glen you spend more time in the cafes than Mado does in the others, lol ... If you get a chance, do take a trip on the old train to Taieri Plains and up into the heartland where the scenery changes dramatically. It's well worth the cost! Enjoy the South guys. ❤
Dunedin is lucky to have a fair numbers of developers who refuse to knock old buildings down, instead they'll refurbish, strengthen and preserve them. Heroes in my opinion.
Dunedin is Scottish! My favourite city after Wellington. One of the founders was a nephew of Rabbie Burns. I hope you try Baldwin Street. It's not for the fainthearted. World's steepest street with a gradient of 35%. Also Lanarch Castle is lovely and Portobello and the Royal Albatross colony.
Dunedin is a great city! My ancestors came over from Scotland in the 1800's and settled there The old buildings are beautiful as are the ones in Oamaru. I grew up in Christchurch and really miss some of the lovely old places destroyed by the earthquakes we had here.
Dunedin, my favourite NZ City. You will find out it was originally a Scottish settlement, not English or Irish. although they settled their too, the predominant settlers were from Scotland Dunedin is Gaelic for Edinburgh and the city is often referred to as Edinburgh of the South. Enjoy your time, it gets better the further south you go!
Yup we found out all the good stuff while staying with locals and interacting with them for 2 weeks while staying there 🙂 we make another video or two here! We start calling it the Scottish city of New Zealand after a while 😂
A breakaway group from the Church of Scotland established the settlement . The ' Wee Free Men ' aka the WeeFrees . Then Gabriel Reid discovered gold inland and the quote/unquote ' Scum of the Earth arrived ... The older buildings were all built of that goldrush money .
I live in the lower North Island and love following your journey throughout our beautiful country . Hope the memories will stay with you forever. Take care.
The Bakehouse on Bond pies are SO good. Glad you enjoyed our centre city - it's even more beautiful now that the George Street has been fully renovated. I love most that Dunedin is surrounded by nature.
My family were Scottish and settled in Dunedin in 1850, I was born there and love the place. It's very much a student city with over 20,000 attending Otago University. The Peninsula is amazing, my Grandmother lived in St Clair, a short walk to the beach, fantastic holidays.
Went to Dunedin but it coincided with fresher's week, so accommodation was at a premium, so we had to take a 15 mile trip to a country inn to get a bed. Nice place, though. Make sure you take the trip along the Otago Peninsula to the albatross colony.
Love the way you guys give the raw and unfiltered first impression. Dunedin is known for the amazing street art/ building murals you fearured. The Railway Station is a beauty for sure and Mado was right and that was a great platform shot. Get those great NZ pies inside you Glen!! A University city that does have vibrancy. Guys 1 more day then you start your Great Walk. First day take plenty of water as no resupply available and a big climb to Luxmore Hut to finish. Enjoy!
Thanks for posting, Glen and Mado. I’ve only been to Dunedin once, on a cruise, but didn’t get to see as much as your video. Dunedin looks like an awesome little city. The architecture is stunning 🤩 Looking forward to more videos of this beautiful city. Makes me want to visit 😅
I would have done the same: Shout out to my New TH-cam Buddies , But we passed paths . You are doing great passing on your tour around New Zealand. What I saw in 10 days was a lot to take in. So many campers, campsites: And I mean lots of them (So many to choose from). Clean and colorful with plants/ Gardens. The roads are just right. People obey the rules of the road. "Just perfect". Keep up the great work. See you on the next blog. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Drove through Dunedin heading further south - never realised how much more there was to the city. The route we followed was mostly old grey stone buildings that looked more like the Edin borough you see on TV.
We actually visited it and made a video on it which should be up eventually! 🙂 it’s a beautiful university but when we visited it was the holidays so it was a ghost town haha
Penguins are good but the Edinburgh Of The South hosts nearby The Royal Albatross Centre,a world class roosting grounds and educational facility dedicated to this huge marine bird.Not to be missed.
Great video guys. When you make it up the west coast, there's a small takeaway shop just north of Greymouth ( heading up the coast road) called Runanga. They have fantastic homemade pies best in greymouth. Enjoy your travels ❤
Enjoy New Zealand guys!! It is a great place and remember above all in your travels spend lots and lots and lots of money !! We would really apreciate it
Great to see you both enjoying my hometown. I was born and raised in Dunedin but now I live in Tokyo. I miss Dunedin though. It's packed with culture and style.
Wow, these vibrant streets and historic buildings are giving Big City vibes! 🏙 Loving the architectural beauty and your raw first impressions. @GlenAndMado Keep exploring and sharing your adventures!
Driving around Dunedin age 6 with me mum, "Mum? What religion are we?" "Um, we're not really that religious tbh. But if we had to say something we'd probably say Presbyterian". Me at school the next day, "Mum says we're not really religious but if we had to say we'd probably be librarians".
:ike watching your reactions. You often say how quiet NZ towns are, but think on this... New Zealand is bigger than the United Kingdom but has only 5 million people. Imagine about half the population of Greater London spread throughout all of England, all of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland !!! The Uk would seem really quite then, eh?
Yeah it’s mad because New Zealand is also about 3 times bigger then Ireland and it has the exact same population 😂😂 but I’m still adjusting to how quite it is here in this country, I have to realise not to expect so people when visiting towns haha.
St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral church located in The Octagon near the Dunedin Town Hall in the heart of Dunedin, New Zealand. It's not a Roman Catholic Church.
Welcome to my city! It was settled by Scots, which is why there's a lot of presbyterian churches. I hope you managed to see more of the city than just the main streets! They've just finished all the new roading in the centre of the city that were under construction when you were there, and itgives the CBD a much friendlier vibe.
After seeing that pie, I am really craving a good Dunedin pie. Everything looks a lot brighter and broader than when we lived there 30 years ago. Fresh paint. Not grey and full of goths any more. And no buskers? I'm surprised the streets and footpaths are so empty so close to xmas. Used to barely be room to pass other pedestrians while doing the xmas shopping. I guess deliveries are making it a bit quieter now? It is around 50% bigger than when we lived there.
@@annwitbrock9112 Hi Ann - yes, there've been a lot of street improvements - especially George Street and in the old industrial area around Vogel Street. Lots of street art, too.
Omg you s two are so fantastic to watch. I live in Dunedin at portabello . The way you too just walk around explaining everything is so good for the towns. Hope u return one day. thank you.
The name Dunedin means little Edinburgh guys. It’s where the largest amount of Scottish settlers went. And it was loosely built round the town pan of Edinburgh plus the style.
Hello to you both! I randomly stumbled upon your channel and as a Dunedin resident, it has been enjoyable to follow your journey down South and see your first impressions of the place! I’m leaving a comment because unfortunately, one thing in your videos has started to bug me and I’ve been feeling increasingly compelled to say something about it. The majority of the drone footage that you’ve been featuring in your videos is breaking NZ government regulations for flying drones in this country, and there can be major consequences for doing this. I know I’m not the first person to mention your drone usage, but I noticed that you ignored these comments and are seemingly continuing to fly your drone in disallowed places. To provide a couple examples - your most recent video has drone footage right beside Dunedin Hospital, which has a very frequently used helipad (drones cannot be flown within 4km of this). Secondly, flying a drone in the Mt Cook area is also prohibited given that it’s DOC land, and there are signs stipulating this on-site. Please don’t take my comment comment as criticism or negativity, I really just want to make you fully aware of the NZ drone regulations because to me, your actions come across as quite disrespectful and inconsiderate. I don’t know the full picture - maybe you’ve been granted permits, have taken the footage from elsewhere, or perhaps you’re simply unaware of the rules + consequences. Anyway, I just wanted to air my concerns and wish you all the very best for the remainder of your NZ stay - looking forward to the next Dunedin vid 😎.
Thank you for your video. I lived in Auckland for 7 years & unfortunately never made it to the South Island. After watching this, Dunedin is now on my ‘to do list’. Cheers from Melbourne 🍷!
Great video guys - so funny hearing your take on things. DUNEDIN means the Edinburgh of the south, The plan was based on Edinburgh - there are some quirky features like steep streets due to them not taking into consideration that the land was not flat. Buildings facing south to catch the midday sun. At the railway station the clock tower only has 3 faces (It was considered a waste of money to have a clock face looking out to sea). The main streets are Princess (South) and George with the Octagon in the middle. Robbie Burns Statue has his likeness facing the pubs and his back to the church. Hope you take time to go out on the Peninsula - Lanarch's Castle has beautiful grounds and great views - even if you don't venture inside (Lanarch was an ambitious scotsman who became a parliamentarian and went bankrupt)
My office is across the road from where you got your macha. That area is the business district with retail being the opposite side of the Octagon. Dunedin was built by Scottish pioneers. It’s all very well not doing any research, but you wouldn’t sound so dumb if you did! :D
You make me want to visit my hometown! Funny you say Vogel street reminds you of New York because it’s actually been used as a NYC set for a couple of films.
thank you for your great videos but its a city not a town I was born there its a great city so many suburbs so many things to see and do I hope you enjoyed your time here thanks for the positive videos its great
What do you both reckon about that American tourist couple in the news who have said NZ is hostile to campervan tourists? Did you experience anything similar?
Ah, my home. ❤ 9:17 - I can see where my mum works, she works at Presbyterian support which is right next to first church. 9:46 - that’s where I got my driver’s license. AA
Wow! Never got a donation before! Thank you soo so much we will make sure to give it back to the people in need or make good use of it. Hope you’re having a wonderful day. ❤
It's a shame what has been done to George Street. It should definitely not be pedestrianised. Glad you noticed our historical building. It's something I value greatly. And yes...all the cars. I wish there were fewer cars on the road. Working from home is not something us kiwis have mastered.
Lived in Dunedin for 11 years, loved it, it gets more busy when the students come back after the summer holidays! Worth a drive out on the peninsula to the albatross colony, magic views
Great to see you guys enjoying Dunedin! The city centre is called 'The Octagon' (rather than a square) 😊
I got such a buzz seeing your impressions of our beautiful city. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you got used to the hills.
It's a third the size of Christchurch with only 130k people, but it has a much more vibrant city centre and more pedestrians.
You got that right but give Christchurch time and it will be a thriving city!

Wow, no way! That guy playing guitar on a unicycle near the end of your video is my talented friend Daniel. He's an absolute legend x
I was born in Dunedin but haven’t been back for a while. Am currently planning a trip down south and have been using videos for inspiration and ideas.
Dunedin today reminds me of Aucklands CBD from the 1970’s. From the 1980’s onwards Auckland lost a lot of old buildings to new developments.
I would have done the same: Shout out to my New TH-cam Buddies , But we passed paths .

Absolutely Marvellous - Thanks again G & M
I was in Dunedin in 2003. I cannot believe how much it has grown. How much work has been done to improve it. Thanks for sharing your video.
Awsome having you guys in Christchurch, we have been through allot here and welcome travelers to boost our local businesses
25:50 : that's a lovely one as well ... that's the old Dunedin Prison .. ha,ha
Drove through Dunedin heading further south - never realised how much more there was to the city. The route we followed was mostly old grey stone buildings that looked more like the Edin borough you see on TV.
Yeah much more than you think actually! We explored more of it in our next videos 😎 it’s really a beautiful place to stay.
Dunedin is a student city my eldest grandson is there now Otago University is a very old University I believe the first in New Zealand.
We actually visited it and made a video on it which should be up eventually! 🙂 it’s a beautiful university but when we visited it was the holidays so it was a ghost town haha

Most beautiful city in NZ, it has everything! Great people, amazing sights and wildlife, beaches, bush and peace.❤
Made it to Dunners! Enjoy! Do not forget to burn a couch in the street lol
I’ve removed a few coaches and put them on the streets from jobs we did but unfortunately didn’t put a match to them 😂😂
Now that you have gone end to end, which city was your favourite as a tourist? Which city could you see yourself living in?
It's a great pleasure to see my own city explored through fresh eyes! I hope you two were treated to some 'dunner stunners' while visiting :)

We call those murals too
Street Art 😊
Yay welcome to my hometown . I love all your content from Christchurch , timaru , oamaru and Dunedin . 😁☺️
classic, your turning in to a kiwi eating pies for lunch....Otago is another great place .. plenty going on have a goodie Mado and Glen

Peterellus,larnach was Australian,not acottish.
Dunedin is described as the Edinburgh of the south and was settled by the Scottish whereas Christchurch was settled by the English
You’ve New Zealanderised when you start craving for that PIE!!
lol 😂
Glen you have such a kind heart
Nice to see my home town, though I no longer live there. Funnily enough recognized a few faces. Great Video
Lovely video of my home, my Dunedin ❤ been here 8 years and wouldn't want to live anywhere else now.
If you liked Dunedin, you would like Ballarat Victoria Australia Renate Scanlon Westenberger.
My office is across the road from where you got your macha. That area is the business district with retail being the opposite side of the Octagon. Dunedin was built by Scottish pioneers. It’s all very well not doing any research, but you wouldn’t sound so dumb if you did! :D
there is a mall in the center as well there are a lot of hidden shops
Just spent 4 weeks in the Sth Island, took a wide detour around Dunedin
Oh you missed out Kevin it’s a good spot 😅
It's called dunedin,little Edinburgh of the south,Scotland 😊
I've never been to Dunedin. Are you getting Wellington vibes there?
You make me want to visit my hometown! Funny you say Vogel street reminds you of New York because it’s actually been used as a NYC set for a couple of films.
thats insane we never knew that fact! you should always revisit your home town my friend :)
Are you guys coming up to Whangarei?
yes Our City is "Amazing" Thank you
Always fun to watching your video
Dunedin is wonderful

Americans complaint about everything and are entitled. Best ignored lol
