We purchased the building in 1985 and opened Hydro Surf, Dunedin’s first surf shop. A major renovation in 2013 of this iconic building included the redevelopment of Esplanade Restaurant by highly regarded New Zealand Restauranteur Katrina Toovey with an award winning interior design by Nat & Emily of Cheshire Architects . The top level flats that had seen many a party were also transformed into these WOW beach front apartments. We invite you to stay at The Hydro and enjoy this historical building with the best views and roof top Terrance in Dunedin and be amongst the outstanding social and natural environment of St Clair.
