Taking advantage of Dunedin District's backpacker options is a great way to socialise before moving on and exploring the entire country on a budget. Backpacker accommodation is friendly, communal and reliable. They are places where, usually, young travellers congregate and often make friends with people of different nationalities. It's the most fun way to discover everything this country has to offer and meet like-minded travellers. New Zealand backpacker accommodation is considered to be of a consistently high quality. Most backpacker accommodation throughout the country offers a mixture of shared rooms (dormitories), as well as single, twin or double rooms for a higher (but still relatively cheap) cost. The facilities usually consist of a communal kitchen and bathroom, and a coin-operated laundry, although this does vary - many also have internet access, bars and TV lounges. Long-term rates are usually offered for those planning to stay awhile.

Dunedin District: Dunedin is the capital of Otago, a region that once swarmed with gold prospectors and was New Zealand's largest city in the mid-Victorian era. A temperate climate supports fine gardens and the city itself is famous for its rhododendrons. Dunedin also has a number of good swimming and surfing beaches, and much natural beauty on the Otago Peninsula, home to a variety of birdlife, including rare yellow-eyed penguins and the world's only mainland royal albatross colony.
