Sensational St Clair!

There are many reasons why St Clair is Dunedin's premier location... the relaxed beachside vibe with a fantastic selection of eateries, the heated salt water pool and of course the wonderful stretch of coastline and famous surf breaks. Less than ten minutes into the city or in the same time you could be exploring the renowned Otago peninsula, this really is the place to be for your stay in Otepoti (Dunedin).
