Harwood is a rural settlement on the northern side of the Otago Peninsula.[5] It is within the boundaries of Dunedin city in New Zealand.
Before 2000, most of the houses were cribs, but they have since been upgraded and become permanent residences.[6]
The area is named for Octavius Harwood and his family, who moved here from Otakou in the 1870s and farmed cattle.[7]
