Design is definitely ahead of the curve, with strong aesthetics giving a luxurious feeling to the room. The bath tub and salt was nice, and the choice of whether to separate it from the rest of the room or not was great. The location is nice, and has easy access to local breweries, eateries, and so forth. Overall felt very upscale for the price.

The hotel is ideally located in the city center, right next to New World, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away. The room was exceptionally spacious, clean, and comfortable, providing a great stay. However, it’s worth noting that parking is available at a daily charge of $20. Overall, a convenient and comfortable choice for travelers.

    Great old buildings, but also full of students who feel bathing is an un necessary chore, plus the smell of badly coooked Mexican food and curry in the air. Not much to see beyond the clock tower which is beautiful.

    Just a block away from the University of Otago. Very clean and comfortable. Large unit with parking right outside front the door. The check in process was super fast and easy. She had lots of good recommendations for the area. The washer/dryer combo wasn’t working properly in our unit, but the owner was very concerned and apologetic. She also assured me she would get it fixed right Away.

    The host Carolyn was exceptional. She accomodated all our requests and went out of the way to help us out as we were new to the country. The motel is centrally located and is just across the road from the University of Otago and there are many prominent schools around. There are many famous eating outlets and we found it very easy to find halal eating spots around this area. The room was very clean and tidy. We were more than happy with the choice of stay here.

    This hostel is central to Dunedin, so you do not have to walk far to the restaurants and bars in the Octagon. The hostel sits over a large bar with a lot of billiard tables. Seems very popular with the locals and college students studying at the nearby University of Otago. The dorm rooms are typical bunk bed layouts with budget twin mattresses. The bathrooms were reasonably clean and a decent kitchen area. They have free breakfast, but it is a pretty minimal offering.
