The full sign for Dunedin is not quite ready to go up.

The Dunedin City Council said in a statement yesterday accommodation was still available in Dunedin to cater for those coming to the city for the rugby test between England and the All Blacks tomorrow night.

Dunedin iSite visitor centre manager Louise van de Vlierd said there was still accommodation available in Dunedin for punters to stay and then watch the game at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

She said anyone struggling to find it should contact the centre.

"There are at least 100 beds available through the iSite at Burns Lodge, the Mansion Apartments and the University Executive Residence, as well as other accommodation options available through online accommodation platforms like Airbnb," she said.

"We want to roll out our famous southern hospitality for as many guests as possible, so if you’re struggling to find a bed — reach out and we’ll be happy to help if we can."

The test will be the first game for the All Blacks under new coach Scott Robertson.
