Cheryl and Debbie (Weds) great hosts. Kept very clean. Place is really well cared for. Security is really good: everyone nas to check in properly with ID: great! Any signs are written with a bit of fun, so you feel relaxed. My single room for 7 nights was the best value in the South Island for me.

A place where I felt welcome immediately. The owner was very sweet and enthousiastic. Her little dog enjoyed my presence as well. The rooms are big and very spacious. There are no bunk beds which is always a big advantage. The kitchen is clean. The rest of the building has a lot of decorations which makes it probably a bit... More

When we arrive Cheryl received us in a great way, always looking for ways to make us feel more comfortable. The building is certainly far from new, but the place is nice and clean. It also has a good location near the Octagon and the Speight's brewery. If I go back I would definitely stay in there again.

This is one of the best places I stayed in when travelling all over New Zealand. The single rooms on the top floor are clean, have furniture so you can store your stuff and have lovely views. As the property is located in a residential area, it is peaceful and quiet. There is a large kitchen as well. Cheryl is... More

The most homely place I stayed in New Zealand, booked one night and stayed a week! The place has real charm and period character (and apparently a resident ghost which unfortunately we didn't see). Lovely kitchen, dinning room, TV room and pool room. We can't thank Cheryl enough for making our visit so welcoming. (Deirdre and Ciaran.)

stayed in a 4 beds room. verdict: Con: 1. Uphill climb. so bad idea if you have lotsa heavy baggage. better hire a taxi. 2. Since it's on a main road, do expect car noise but it's at it's minimum level. no worries. still can get good night sleep. although i heard pedestrian or neighbors shouting a few nights ago.... More

This is a nice and unusual place to stay. It is an old hospital from the 1950's (I think). The lady running it is a lovely lady (but is firm if any misbehaviour is goning on) She's helpful and nice to have a chat with. There is a spooky feel to the place... Almost as if a ghost will be... More

Booked double room non-ensuite. Excellent for that price (60 NZD). Big room, clean, towels provided, sink and mirror in the room, and a little couch. Showers were good, powerfull, hot and clean. Kitchen clean and good equipped. Beautifull old house with high ceilings, big common rooms and big wooden stairs. We had an excellent stay.

~ but this is simply "not the best place to stay" in Dunedin. Our experience was OK, because we got there before the one and only staff member closed up shop and left for the night. However, she was not hospitable at all and too darn bad if you had any need of staff to assist you in any way... More
