Overview
Hulmes Court B&B is two large Victorian homes right in the heart of Dunedin, 3 minutes walk from the city centre, restaurants, theatres, information centre, Octagon, and Art Gallery. Norman, your host, is 42, is interested in philosophy, history and travel. His staff are also young, intelligent, educated and are mostly studying at the local university. We also have two cool cats – Solstice, name after the day he turned up all wet and cold – on the Winter Solstice, and his friend Jimmy. When you stay at Hulmes Court you get free internet either at one of our two computers or use our wireless internet access with your own laptop. We have free off street parking, a great continental breakfast in the morning and free use of our laundry during the afternoon.
We have 14 rooms, 8 with private ensuite bathrooms. Our rates range from the small Rose Room at $70 (normal rack rate) up to our very large Premium Rooms at $165 per night
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!!
