This is Salmond
A year at the college, mostly in pictures.
Straight from the hearts of those who have lived here
I chose Salmond because of the staff when I came for the open day in 2025. I felt welcome and calm when I walked into Salmond; I felt like I could live there when I saw it for the very first time.
Sophie
Absolutely love Salmond! So glad that I got to here. It was my first choice because of the amazing friendly staff, the homey atmosphere and especially that it has a mixture of both Otago Uni and Polytechnic students.
Ollie
Good choice, incredible food, made great friendships, great water pressure and always warm.
Lillie
The food at Salmond has really gone past my expectations. Every meal served is packed with flavour. Even if I’m skeptical for what's on the menu and get it anyways, it's always very good. They also encourage you to go back for seconds so you'll never go hungry.
