Hulmes Court is a very relaxed and homely bed and breakfast. Although we are in the city centre, we are on a side street and opposite a Girls High School so Hulmes Court provides tranquil, quiet, comfortable, friendly Bed & Breakfast accommodation when you are in Dunedin visiting our wonderful attractions, such as the Otago Peninsula with Larnach Castle, Albatross Colony, penguins, seals, and wonderful walks, the southern hemisphere's finest Victorian architecture, New Zealand's oldest university, excellent night life and vitality that comes with being a busy university town. There is also the Taieri Gorge Excursion Train, Botanic Garden with world renowned rhododendrons, Hocken Library, Speight’s Brewery and much more.

Norman loves to read, so there are hundreds of books around Hulmes Court which you are most welcome to read.

There is plenty of off-street parking in our grounds of trees and gardens, providing a rest from the hustle and bustle so near by. You can move indoors, sit in front of the large marble fireplace and enjoy fine conversation in the Victorian drawing room. Your host Norman Wood and his staff are frequent travellers around New Zealand and the world. We will provide you with a warm, friendly and informative stay in our beautiful city. Welcome!!

Things To Do Most people say they have not booked enough time when they come to Dunedin. So don't make the same mistake.

Dunedin is one of the oldest cities in New Zealand, built with the money generated by gold mining nearby. Dunedin's buildings, such as the railway station, courts, town hall, university, and many others are grand examples of Victorian architecture - with the wealth flowing through the city at the time - nothing was spared.

Dunedin is bigger now - but the feel of grandeur hasn't changed. Added to this is the vitality that comes with being a busy university town, with cafes, restaurants, theaters, and young people everywhere enjoying our wonderful city. Come and visit and enjoy it too.

Hulme's Court is an excellent place to stay and enjoy what Dunedin has to offer. Some of our attractions include -

First Chuch - some more of Dunedin's fantastic architecture - a little bit of Europe in the South Pacific. Dunedin was settled by Presbyterian's from Scotland and started as a planned city. Shortly afterwards Gold was discovered.

If you just want to stay close to home you might want to go and eat in some of the great cafe and restaurants which are close or see some movies in our fabulously refurbished movie theatres such as the Rialto which is only 2 minutes walk away, or Hoytes or live theatre at the Fortune (also only 2 minutes walk away).

There is also -
• Otago Peninsula with Larnach Castle, Albatross Colony, penguins, seals, and wonderful walks.
• The southern hemisphere's finest Victorian architecture.
• New Zealand's oldest university.
• Taieri Gorge Excursion Train
• Botanic Garden with world renowned rhododendrons.
• Olveston, one of our finest homes.
• Early Settlers and Dunedin Museums.
• New Art Gallery - which is in the Octagon with lots of trees and cafes (see the photos below)
• Hocken Archival and Libraries.
• Speights Brewery.
