What a great little find this place was, centrally located this motel offered me everything I needed for my one night stay. The welcome I received was warm, I was offered a choice of milk and bread for my breakfast (didn't know I was getting that). I arrived on a chilly autumn evening and my room had been kept warm,...

Wanting a couple of nights to stay in Dunedin visiting relatives, the central location of Farry's attracted me, especially when I found a good rate through Wotif. But I got much more than that - a friendly attentive welcome, a quite and comfortable studio unit and complimentary continental breakfast for the first night that lasted for two. I enjoyed my...

Stayed here for three nights. Great location for walking to restaurants and shops etc. It is subject to traffic and street noise which we encountered on the Saturday night but the Sunday and Monday nights weren't so bad. Rooms are clean with pleasant decor. We were on the top floor so it was nice to be elevated with a bit... More

I think they are trying to fix this property up. There are new flat screen tv's and free unlimited wi-fi. The furniture is old and dated and worn looking. The bathroom was horrible. The sink had a repair that looked like a big glob of snot. There were chips out of the cabinets. The bathroom was small and cramped and... More

Thank you for your comments. The Shower was fixed immediately the problem was told to us. The Bed is a standard size used in all Motels. Your pre paid breakfast did not include some items you received, we added the ones you mention for free. As standard practise we supply free mini continental breakfasts. The Motel has just had an...

Upon arriving I was greeted by the very friendly manager who was very accommodating (he put us in the furtherest away unit from the street, which also had a wee fenced grass area for my toddler). Parking was fantastic, so often in Dunedin there is not sufficient parking in motels in the CBD, or they are very difficult and cramped,... More

Thanks to Bruce for ensuring a perfect stay in the executive apartment for 6 of us in December 2012. Very spacious so kids and adults could co-exist happily and within walking distance of city centre, resstaurants and shops. Clean and very well equipped.
