The Brothers Boutique Hotel History

The Christian Brothers Order had been on the property at 295 Rattray street since 1876 and the current stately residence was built in the early 1920s in the area known as the "Vatican" district.

At one time the huge residence housed up to 13 Brothers. In March 2005 there were only four remaining.

The Christian Brothers for most of its history has been associated with education. In Dunedin it has been involved in Christian Brothers junior and High schools, St Paul's, St Edmund's and in recent times at Kavanagh College.

Highlights of Dunedin

Dunedin city is renowned for its proximity to incredible wildlife. Visits to see the world's rarest penguins, the world's only mainland breeding colony of the Royal albatross and rare New Zealand sealions are all possible within a short drive of the city centre.

Dunedin is also memorable for its historical architecture. It is regarded to be one of the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. Look for the massive stone Flemish Renaissance-style Dunedin Railway Station, the University clock-tower building and the Gothic Revival Dominican Priory. Dunedin even has an authentic castle – Larnach Castle was the grand home of an early politician. You might also want to visit Baldwin Street, the world's steepest residential address.

It's easy to learn about things in Dunedin. Apart from being New Zealand's first university city, it has an abundance of museums, galleries and heritage homes with amazing stories to tell. You can even discover the history of beer brewing at the Speights Brewery.
