I needed to travel to a medical appointment in Dunedin. It was decided that staying overnight in Dunedin was a good idea. We stayed in one of the ground floor accessible studios. I was able to have an early check in which was fab The room was stunningly clean! As an ex motel cleaner i can almost certainly find something thats not up to scratch.... not the case this time!! Your staff did a fabulous job. The large (King?) bed was really comfortable and had great linens including a comfortable pillow. The accessible shower was the cherry on top. After a long day it was great to be able to have a nice hot shower and then relax into bed. We had a lovely sleep and left early the next morning as happy campers. I will definitely be staying here again. This motel was safe, clean, cosy and well appointed. The staff we met at check in were cheerful and helpful. My only gripe was i forgot to visit Tax the resident dog ☺️

We had to book a room at the last minute due to personal emergency. It was graduation week and our usual place was booked out. They recommended coming here. This motel was Great value for money. We managed to snag the last room for $209.00. Staff couldn’t be more friendly, helpful, welcoming! The guy behind the desk was awesome!! Room was a bit smaller than what we normally get (booked studio) but that’s really being picky. Couldn’t fault otherwise- really clean, everything so functional, bed really comfortable, great shower & bathroom and great environmental approach. Even had a small composting container for scraps, free wifi, sky on tv. Room overlooked courtyard- really pretty well kept garden. Free parking. Location great. We walked everywhere- city and hospital 13 minute walk. Couldn’t fault.

So much potential but second time staying and could not stop sneezing at the dust, different room, same problem, rooms need a deep clean, air con unit sounded like a jet plane taking off, same with the bathroom fan, had to turn off aircon to stop sneezing from the dust unless it was pulling in some kind of pollen from outside? Nice staff, comfortable bed. Small TV for size of room.
