Shopping in Dunedin & The Otago Peninsula

  1. A

    Dunedin Farmers Market

    The thriving Dunedin Farmers Market convenes at the Dunedin Railway Station. It’s all local, all eatable (or drinkable), and mostly organic, with everything from Speight’s-beer-flavoured ice cream, gourmet sausages, and Russian pancakes filled with blue cod. There’s usually live music on offer, and a passionate foodie vibe. Grab felafels or espresso to sustain you while you browse, and stock up on interesting fresh meats and seafood, vegies and cheeses for your journey. Also pick up some locally brewed Green Man organic beer.

    Records Records

    This near-legend of a shop, with records stacked all about, seems constantly on the verge of closing down, but clings to life by the skin of its teeth. Do us a favour – hunt it out and buy a record. Places like this need to be kept alive, especially here in the homeland of NZ indie music.

    Disk Den

    Although it mostly carries new and recent-release CDs (and their associated posters, DVDs and other tat), the Den also has a collection of old vinyl, and even some cassette tapes, handy if your rental car happens to date from the Stone Age.
