The Southern Cross is Dunedin's oldest and most well-established hotel. Dating back to 1883, this landmark building now blends Dunedin’s distinctive character and heritage with the modern-day comforts that discerning guests demand. While the exterior retains the charm of old, recent renovations inside have a decidedly contemporary flair. The Southern Cross has 178 rooms and suites, all with satellite TV, wireless Internet, telephone, clock radio, fridge, mini-bar, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Decor throughout the hotel evokes a sense of 'tailored elegance' with bold, solid colors and sleek lines reminiscent of mid-20th-century modernist design. Four different restaurant and bar venues throughout the hotel offer varied dining and drinking options, from light cafe snacks to brasserie-style full meals. Twenty-four hour room service is also available. An on-site fitness center offers gym facilities for guests wishing to get in a bit of exercise.
Together, Natural Habitat Adventures and World Wildlife Fund have teamed up to arrange nearly 100 nature travel experiences around the planet, while helping to protect the magnificent places we visit and their wild inhabitants.
