Suburb in Dunedin, New Zealand
Macandrew Bay
Macandrew Bay is located on the Otago Peninsula in the South Island of New Zealand.
It is situated on the edge of Otago Harbour, and is named for pioneer Scottish settler James Macandrew who lived here during his later life. The Te Reo Māori name for the bay, Te Roto Pāteke, refers to the Brown teal formerly prevalent in the area. Early European residents of the area called the bay "The Hundreds", due to the large number of boulders which covered the foreshore.
