Hanover Place is positioned with students in mind, just three blocks from the University of Otago, located at 4 Hanover Street, right in the heart of Dunedin’s walkable centre. With George Street’s cafés, bars, and retail only a block away, everything you need for day-to-day student life sits within easy reach.

Whether it’s a quick coffee before class, walking to lectures, or catching up with friends nearby, living here keeps you closely connected to the university and the city’s social rhythm. The location naturally supports a car-free lifestyle, where getting around on foot or by bike is simple, convenient, and part of the daily routine.

Each studio at HANOVER PLACE is crafted to support your learning, growth, and daily life. Fully furnished and thoughtfully planned, every apartment balances comfort, functionality, and style, giving you the independence to cook, refresh, and unwind on your own schedule. Layouts are designed to maximise space, natural light, and airflow, creating a bright, airy, and focused environment ideal for study and relaxation.

The design goes beyond typical student accommodation. High ceilings, carefully positioned windows, and passive ventilation keep interiors fresh and comfortable, while durable, low-maintenance materials ensure your home stays practical and resilient. Muted colour palettes with textural accents provide a calm, considered backdrop that helps you concentrate, recharge, and thrive — making each studio not just a place to live, but a place to progress.

Optional weekly cleaning and linen services take care of the everyday practicalities, so you can focus on study, socialising, or enjoying city life. HANOVER PLACE studios are compact yet generous, offering a space that is independent, functional, and effortlessly comfortable, a place where good design meets the needs of student living.

HANOVER PLACE is designed around people, built for connection, and centred on the shared home concept. At the heart of the building is the Place of People — a lounge, kitchen, laundry, and study space created as the social and practical hub of student life. It’s where daily routines and casual encounters come together, fostering friendships, shared meals, and side-by-side study sessions. This is more than an apartment complex; it’s a home base where independence meets community.

The studios themselves are bright, welcoming, and crafted for comfort. Thoughtful design like high ceilings, and abundant natural light make each space feel spacious and liveable. Built to last with robust, low-maintenance materials like concrete blockwork, metal cladding, and double-glazed aluminium windows, the building combines durability with warmth. Designed by award-winning Melbourne-based Breathe Architects. Hanover Place balances practical living with a sense of home.
