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.

Arrived late, directions for key pick up were easy and clear. Room was dark so couldn’t read the directions left for turning lights on but otherwise a comfortable stay. Booking was made earlier that day for an early morning flight. 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.
