We had to use our own mobile data, but if you're fine with that then it's a good place for a short stay, which was the case for us considering if you're planning to be out travelling for most of the day anyways. The staffs were all also very lovely and helpful."

We are also prepared to drink hot chocolate and tea. New Zealand was cold in autumn, so I was very happy to have a warm drink when I returned to the hostel.

Featured amenities include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and microwave in a common area. Make yourself at home in one of the 9 guestrooms. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Shared bathrooms are provided.

"Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient. There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great. The showers are on the first floor, unisex. The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge. The facilities are generally quite complete. By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo. New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own. You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor. The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it."

We were blown away by the room and the service! The rooms are large, modern, with a fully equipped kitchen, quality bed linens, and the room was clean and tidy. The fluffy robes were a nice touch. We entered the room on a cold night, and the owners had turned on the heat pump so it was lovely and warm which was very thoughtful. We will only stay here anytime we are back in Dunedin!!

Located on a city street, with various shops nearby. The front desk is staffed from 2 PM onwards. It's a 3-minute walk to Lake Wanaka, and about a 25-minute leisurely stroll to the Lone Tree. Enjoying the natural scenery along the way in the early morning is very pleasant and comfortable. If you want to stargaze at night, even walking to the nearby lake, you'll still be affected by the brightness of the streetlights. It's next to a large supermarket and a 5-minute walk to the food truck park, making it convenient for finding food. There are fewer parking spaces than rooms, so if the lot is full upon arrival, you'll need to park in a nearby park, and be mindful of the paid parking hours. The room has a sofa, a full dining table and chairs, a bar, and a basic kitchenette. However, the pot had food residue, which made us question the overall cleanliness of the utensils and made us hesitant to use them. The fixed showerhead in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient, and the room's brightness was dimmer than shown in the photos.

A first class motel with genuine owners who do their best to present their motel in excellent condition. My room was larger than most Motels and is very well appointed with everything I needed to prepare dinner, including full and fresh salt and pepper shakers.  The room was spotless giving the feeling that the motel is new, which it is not. Such is the high standard of cleaning and continuing maintenance. The heating worked well and the bed has two separate electric blankets.  The bathroom was also spotless, with good quality soap etc.  The TV is a full 55 inch and in addition to normal TV they provide free Netflix and other services. WiFi works well.  The motel is peaceful and quiet. It’s also near the Otago University which is well worth a visit and is only a short walk away. It’s also only a short walk to the centre of town where there are many shops cafes and restaurants. The city includes the scenic railway station and various historic buildings and churches.  Overall a first class motel, and one of the best motels I have experienced. Thank you.
