Cumberland location map Cumbie is right at the heart of the action being located in between campus and central Dunedin. Everything is on your front door step at Cumbie and this makes us the ideal choice if you are looking for quick and easy access to all educational, sporting and recreational facilities.

Only 420 paces (yes, we counted!) from the University Library… less than a 4 minute walk, 620 paces to the Commerce Building (about 6 minutes away). Our scouts have also confirmed that New World is only a 2 minute walk and the Octagon is only 7 minutes from our front door. Why you'd want to be anywhere else but Cumbie with a location like this we don't know!

In fact you can reach almost any University Department in a 6 or 7 minute walk and reach anywhere in the central city in the same time. Movies, shopping, going for coffee are all a must for residents at Cumbie!

Cumberland College is one of the University of Otago's "Character Colleges", right at the centre of the University and the heart of the City of Dunedin. Built in 1916 the Cumberland College building retains all the charm and character of the era. Our staff and students have the same charm and character (but we're not from 1916) that will make you feel right at home (we've been told we're "refereshingly unpretentious"!).
