Lovely big apartment with super kitchenette, that had everything required for a 2 night stay. Onsite parking was great , as were the small balconies to get a good air flow. Very handy sort walk to the centre of Dunedin and everything it has to offer. Easy car access to the Otago peninsular as well. We can thoroughly recommend this motel and Dunedin and surrounds as well.

Very close to Dunedin's central Octagon but quiet (I did have a room away from the street). Friendly, helpful management. The room was large, clean and comfortable and in my case had a small outdoor garden. Would definitely stay here again.
