10 Motels in Dunedin: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 1, 2023 Darwin Bolte

Rare yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals and the world's only mainland albatross colony share residence in Dunedin, New Zealand's oldest city. When you're not watching wildlife, this South Island Otago Coast town also boasts impressive historic architecture from its days as a gold-rush mecca. Visit the 1906 Flemish Renaissance railway station or the country's largest center of higher learning, which resembles Glasgow University, thanks to the area's early Scottish settlers.

Excellent Service

Reviewed By SandraAshvegas

Stayed 4 nights as group of 6. Booked 3 units: 1 bedroom accessible unit and 1 studio (for older parents/in-laws) and a 1 bedroom unit for couple with teenager. Well appointed rooms - exactly as described. Very comfortable; plenty of room in units; spotlessly clean; fully serviced each day. Windows open for good airflow, and the double glazing meant you hardly hear a thing from outside. Excellent lighting - mix of reading light and dimming bedside lights. Sat in the studio unit watching the world go by on the Main Street! And also sat on the outside table and chairs enjoying the sunshine. Spacious bathrooms with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Great location - able to walk to many areas. Manager recommended a couple of restaurants and we tried 2 of them - glad we did as the food was lovely. Great service - the Managers are really welcoming and kind. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent Accommodation

Reviewed By Kerry S

Our room was well presented, modern, exceptionally clean, very quiet even though the motel was in the centre of the main street shopping area. Double glazing certainly worked, no noise what so ever. This was ideal for us as we needed it to be close to the hospital. The receptionist was very pleasant and showed us to our room and explained everything to us regarding the complex and our room. Even our vehicle was under cover. Very affordable. We have stayed in many motels over the years and this one will now be our 'go to' motel when next staying in Dunedin.

Reviewed By ericsA5331RZ

I brought my daughter to Dunedin to have a look around Otago University and we based ourselves sr George St Motel Apartments. It was the perfect location as we never had too far to walk and we always had a car park there. The room we had was big enough for both of us, had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. The team is great and I thoroughly recommend you check them out.
