Hotel<br />
Carey’s Bay Historic Hotel is a<br />
Dunedin delight for lovers of<br />
genuine ambience. Designed by<br />
architect David Ross, financed on<br />
gold money by the local Mayor<br />
and built in 1874 of locally quarried<br />
stone, this Port Chalmers landmark<br />
has been a local legend for almost<br />
150 years! Following impressive<br />
restoration during the past two<br />
decades, Carey’s Bay Hotel has<br />
been lovingly returned to its original<br />
Victorian splendour.<br />
Dining areas include a main bar,<br />
lounge, “snug” and conservatory,<br />
plus a courtyard and terrace<br />
overlooking the tranquillity of<br />
Carey’s Bay. Open 7 days for lunch,<br />
dinner and casual bar menu, the<br />
hotel specialises in mouth watering<br />
seafood alongside a comprehensive<br />
selection of other tempting dishes<br />
and platters.<br />
With four function areas of<br />
different sizes, each with its own<br />
unique atmosphere, Carey’s Bay<br />
Historic Hotel is a popular place<br />
for weddings, private functions,<br />
parties and conferences. For<br />
