Ebb-Dunedin

A large-scale mural of the first Polynesian wakas arriving at Otago Harbour wraps the façade of this boutique hotel, so the mid-century modern interior comes with a bit of context. Rooms keep it understated: white walls, light wood, designer furnishings, and sharp black and white bathrooms. A daytime café runs breakfast through lunch, and the hotel has partnered with neighbors for gym access and wellness bookings when you need them.
