NOTE - COMMON ERROR: Arden Street is unusual in that it is divided in two. The lower portion is entered from Opoho Road and leads to Knox College (left-hand side) and connects to the upper section by a large staircase. Coincidentally, there is an Arden House here, but this is not B & B accommodation.

If you end up here, U-turn and turn right at Opoho Road. You will then reach a junction with traffic lights. Turn right at these traffic lights onto North Road, passing New World supermarket on your right. After passing a pedestrian crossing, you see a sign for Glendining Avenue on your right. Enter this street, ascend the steep hill and Arden Street House is the 2-storey house on your left at the top.

George Street exits The Octagon in the heart of Dunedin. Continue north along George Street for approximately 5 minutes - it is a straight road. At the end of George Street, follow the signpost for North-East Valley, you pass under a road bridge and the road curves to the right.

Coming onto Bank Street, you see a park on your right as you approach a junction with traffic lights. Turn left at these traffic lights onto North Road, passing New World supermarket on your right.

Continue on Great King Street. As you approach the end, you will pass the adjoining streets: Howe St. (right side), Moat St. (right side) and Willowbank (left). Then you reach a Stop sign at a junction where Great King Street North is intersected by Pine Hill Road - a one-way street descending from the left. There are signs for Timaru (left) and City Centre (right). Do not turn left or right here. Proceed straight across this intersection on Great King Street North to the traffic lights.
