Scarfies Flat

By Caitlin Lynch

This suburban property was the set of the 1999 New Zealand cult film 'Scarfies'. The black comedy thriller (directed by Robert Sarkies and starring a young Taika Waititi) tells the story of student flatting gone awry. Its soundtrack is a time-capsule of the iconic 90's Dunedin music scene. The villa was once a quintessential student flat: old, cold, ramshackle and rundown, but has now been renovated.

For a 'Scarfies' experience, drive by the house then visit local music venues including The Cook, Dog with Two Tails and Inch bar, or head to a Highlander's rugby game at Forsyth Barr stadium. Of course in the Scarfies days, rugby took place at the also old, cold and rundown Carisbrook.
