We stayed in the road side room which I thought would be quite noisy as it's right on the footpath but strangely enough it was very quiet. The owner did say the windows were double glazed which definitely helped. Everything inside was tidy and looked good. The spa bath was also very nice to use. It is a 30 second... More

It's is a great motel close to Dunedin city centre. The room was very clean, modern with a comfortable bed. The managers are warm and welcoming and can't do enough to help. Free wifi is a bonus. I would recommend this motel to anyone.

Fantastic motel in a great location, very handy to the Octagon and away from the student area of North Dunedin. Rooms are well designed, the standard of furnishings is high, and as we were in a back unit away from the road we had no issues at all with noise. All in all a great motel. Will definitely stay here... More

We made a two-day stop here to visit Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula. The hotel is conveniently situatedand easily located. Downtown Dunedin is within easy reach by foot and there is good access to the road, both to the Otago Peninsula and to Christchurch. We stayed in the bigger of the two-room appartments, finding them spacious, comfortable and well furnished.... More

Great modern motel close to the centre of town and surprisingly quiet. I have been staying at this motel for a while now since moving from a noisy one that was not far from the city centre. Warm in winter and no noisy fan heaters to interupt your sleep. Managers are always friendly and obliging, rooms are always clean. Although... More

We booked one night here but were so knocked out by the quality of the room that we stayed for two. Top class in terms of design, condition and cleanliness. Great hosts. And within a few minutes walk of the centre of town with its attractions, museums, cafes, bars etc etc. Plenty of parking and good free wi-fi in our... More

Firstly the hosts of the hotel were very nice and explained the room facilities to us. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately as the location is close to the road and even though they have put double glazing on the windows to cut down the noise it was still quite noisy. Outside of putting a security awning... More

Arrived to find the spa pool unit we booked didn't exist, turned out to be a typo on the booking email which would be find if it weren't for the other issues.
