The flat was really well equipped and quiet. We had 2 bedrooms with a big living and kitchen area. We didn’t miss anything. The motel is in comfortably walking distance to the city centre. The host was really nice and had good tips for us to enjoy our short stay.

The location was super convenient for walking around the CBD and shopping, and was close to a couple of supermarkets and bus routes. The apartment itself was finished to a high standard, was thoughtfully furnished with vintage and antique pieces and had pretty much thought of everything we might need for our stay, including jam and butter in the fridge and Vogels and porridge sachets on the counter. It was a slice of luxury to come back to after a long day of walking around the city. It felt secure, it was clean and airy, and there was plenty of space to move around and relax in. The view of the First Church of Otage out of the living room windows was the cherry on top. Bonus point to one of the hosts, Dan, because he was able to arrange an early check-in for me on the day I arrived and was also able to arrange a place for my sister and I to store our bags between check-out and our pickup to go to the airport - both things took a huge amount of stress off of my plate and meant we could relax and make the most of our time in the city, so thank you again for your flexibility Dan!

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.

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.
