Advertise with Stuff Scarfies' home, a former hospital for infectious diseases, is for sale

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Uni students have taken over this historic Dunedin building, but back in the day it was a place they would have avoided like the plague. With good reason.

This is the former Pelichet Bay Infectious Disease Hospital, once hidden from view behind large trees.

It's a huge building, currently in four flats, with a total of 14 bedrooms. And it looks much like any scarfie house, with its old couches on the veranda and drum kits in the bedroom. But this house has an Historic Place Category 1 listing, because it's pretty special.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
