Arden Street House

About Arden Street House

Arden Street House was built in the 1930's by a Scottish sea captain and the house reflects his influence with beautiful stained glass windows depicting sea themes.

Your host Joyce Lepperd, her family and cat enjoy travellers' stories in the quiet comfortable and quirky home. For those who enjoy meeting the local Dunedin arty and interesting population, Joyce hosts lively social dinners using fabulous organic produce from her garden. There is also a piano for guest use. Guests describe our home as having a warmth far beyond temperature!

The house has large character spacious bedrooms with fabulous views and is well suited to those wishing for the quiet experience, including waking each morning to the sound of birdsong.

Arden Street House is located just 3 minutes walk from the beautiful Botanical Gardens, Knox College and 20 minutes walk from the city centre, University of Otago and Community Hospice.
