Short walk to course venues.It is important to remember that it will be autumn and winter in Dunedin during the course period, and weather can be very cold with ice and snow possible. The areas around the CBD/Dunedin School and Medicine/Dunedin Hospital generally tend to be on the flat – venturing into the hill suburbs means an uphill journey.
