Beach Hotels in Dunedin

The apartment was unable to move in after 8pm, and when we really couldn't get to the hotel before 8pm, the hotel asked us to arrive at the hotel before 10pm, but a late check-in fee of $30 would be charged. Said that if you still can't arrive before ten o'clock, there is no way to check in, and the room rate is non-refundable... So if you choose this hotel, you must be optimistic about the time! As for the room facilities, it is clean, and there are induction cookers, microwave ovens and tableware, so you can make simple meals by yourself

It was too late for bird watching, so I settled on the nearest motel. The owner was very nice and helped us move the house from the street to the inside. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel. The door opens at seven in the morning. There is a microwave oven and a bread machine in the hotel. You can make your own breakfast.

The hotel has a variety of bed type rooms with separate or non-independent washrooms, and rooms with separate washrooms have wash basins. The location is very good, the Auckland University campus and the city, train station, etc. can be reached on foot, the train station is a little far away, about 1.6 km. There is a simple breakfast sharing in the common area, coffee, hot chocolate and bread, instant noodles and more. No extra beds, children can rent a room in a family hotel, free parking. Although the room is a bit old, the whole building is very historical, and the landlord is very kind.

Not only was John welcoming and friendly with loads of info about the city when we arrived late as last minute booking. When we decided to spend another night as he sold the city to us so well and we knew the city motels were full due to a concert he sent a message round and worked to find us another nights stay in another motel... wonderful. Thank you

This motel offers good flexibility for cancellations which was our biggest deciding factor in staying there as we were travelling down for my hospital treatment and needed to be able to stay somewhere we could tweak the dates to stay if for some reason the hospital postponed the treatment start. At this point All seemed to be well in terms of the service we received over the phone during the booking process, we booked asking for very specific requirements for our rooms and we felt at the time of booking the understanding of these needs by the host seemed to be all very good and understood. We also rung the day before we arrived just to clarify that our rooms were as requested still and reminded we had very specific needs due to medical and health reasons and again we were reassured that all was as requested. Well we got a real shock fast when we arrived at the motel and found that none of our booking requirements had been met at all for either my parents room or for ours. :( We had requested the wheelchair accessible room for my parents, and second a ground floor unit for us. .We had asked that our room was placed downstairs near to my parents who were to be in the wheelchair unit as I have 2 autistic children , and suffer a brain tumour (reason I was there for treatment and had my parents there to help) and my mobility for stairs/seizures at random times makes it extremely agonising to navigate stairs let alone dealing with the special needs children who have very little danger understanding with heights so it was so anxiety inducing at a time that was already very scary for me to find that we had been placed in an upstairs unit . My parents were also NOT placed in the wheelchair room, and my disabled mother had to climb steps and not be able to use her wheelchair at all for 3 nights - this is hideous for someone who is a full time wheelchair user!!!!. She was not able to come up and help me with my children overnight as it was needed as she couldn't access our room! How does this happen? It actually really sucked for us all. The host was unable to rectify this situation because the motel was full, and we ended up having to make do. I don't feel like our needs were listened to or met at all and I was very frustrated at the situation and lack of help given when we were explicit on our needs when first booking, especially with also being proactive to call the day before to ensure our booking requests were being upheld. When people request certain things, either tell them you can't meet those requests or actually listen and ensure those requests are followed through when promised. There were an elderly couple in the wheelchair room, so why didn't they either tell us or them at the time of booking (whoever tried to book it last) that the wheelchair room wasn't available? I couldn't believe it. It left us feeling like they had taken our booking knowing they couldn't fullfill the requirements and hoped that it would be ok? well it wasn't o

Such a lovely, homely place to stay! I stayed one night on a sofa bed on New Year’s Eve while moving. The room was clean and smelt nice, and wasn’t loud in the centre of town. Robyn the owner is so lovely and attentive, as is her lovely Labrador. Parking was uphill, but nothing compared to Wellington. So close to restaurants etc to grab a quick feed as well. The street was all finished of roadworks and there’s some cute coffee and op shops just across the road.

Breakfast is good, the room is beautiful! And staying here can get rid of all the tickets for the castle, I think it is still worth it. Students who are not self-driving can come here from the airport by pick-up bus, which is much cheaper than taking a taxi.

This place is run worse than a prison. It's a total shambles with owners and staff who continuously get wasted on alcohol and drugs then get violent with each other and the residents. They also do all this in front of their innocent children. Not a business run professionally at all. They don't clean every day including during a level 4 lockdown, there was no cleaning done at all for an entire week during the current level 4 lockdown. The owners can be heard having sex and don't seem to care who hears (including children), it's a sick and twisted environment to be in. It's been run like this for months and it's only getting worse! BEWARE if you stay here, they will be nice to you one minute then turn on you the next and once they turn on you, you're not only kicked out for absolutely no reason but you're also assaulted by the owners and staff. It's about time they started running a business and stop acting like it's a ​party house! The owner and her partner also smoke in there room which they always say is a big no no to other residents. I highly recommend that you consider staying at one of the many other places Dunedin has to offer. It's only a matter of time before the doors are closed and locked for good when that happens I feel sorry for whoever has decided to stay there for a week or more as you will not get a refund and you'll be out on the street with nowhere to go like myself, my friend and her two children for absolutely no reason at all. I witnessed first hand the owner combing nits out of one of her kids hair on the front deck. Stay away and stay safe people.

Stayed here for 3 nights, first time here and I was suitably impressed. After having stayed at Beechwood, Distinction, Quest and many of the hotels in Dunedin I thought this one didn’t deserve to be overlooked - and I’m really glad I chose it. From the friendly ‘reception’ staff (a pleasantly untypical reception btw), the wonderful cafe staff and food where I dined twice to the beautiful design and layout of the hotel My room was amazing… spacious, modern, reasonably quiet and everything I needed was there (apart from a microwave but I can live without that). Once I figured out how to work the TV I was all set, I really wish more hotels allowed you to watch Netflix, YouTube etc on the TV! Even the coffee station was unique. I can’t wait to return next year, thank you!
