Thread: Hunting around Dunedin?

We've got a 3 year old and my wife is looking to do her MBA at Otago so we need to be in a city of some sort. I also run a remote company from Canada so I need a fast internet connection to be productive. As much as we love the outdoors it's not ideal for us to live remote or in a really small town. Dunedin seemed large and sophisticated enough for us, with better access to nature than what we had in Wellington (we hike, fish, scuba, sail, etc), and also much more reasonable house prices compared to Auckland or Wellington. We thought about Christchurch as well but it's so flat and boring. Nothing is set in stone and we're willing to look around, but we ideally want to find some place that's got young people, business, cafes, entertainment, etc, while also having enough access to the outdoors to get away from it all when we want.
