The location and the heritage sides are good. Something different to do and experience as a person that we don't come across that often in hotel stays, the character of a place is certainly different that sets this place apart from others. Most parts are closed and can not be accessed due to renovations. Views from here and the room I had was excellent. Must dos in dunedin nomatter what.

We had a lovely clean room. The heating was great and the room was very comfortably warm on a cold wet day. The motel was close to the city centre and there were a lot of restaurants and cafes to choose from in the surrounding location.

Lovely touches re leaving a loaf of Vogels, eggs, butter in a butter dish, condiments, orange juice and fresh milk! Many thanks. Central location close to the octagon but far enough away from the craziness and noise, and opposite a lovely green area around a church. Interior design has everything you need plus a wonderful combo of old fashioned setup with edgy touches. A special place to stay.
