I was a little concerned after reading mixed reviews but we had no choice as needed to stay 5 nights and did not realise it was capping weekend. We are staying in 205 which is not beachfront but we are totally loving it. We are with our elderly parents who also love the roominess and character of this place. We... More

We booked 2 rooms which had amazing views of the beach and open sea from your lounge. The rooms were spotless modern and very clean. The Thai girl that runs it is super hot and super friendly and was very helpful.The beds were also comfortable and listened to the waves at night. Well worth the stay.

Stayed in apartment, not beachside...but we knew the location so as expected. Well furnished very helpful friendly owner, clean and well maintained. Would recommend and would come back again. Have stayed in 4 different more traditional motels in Dunedin and this was much better in terms of cost and presentation, plus well away from noisy students!

Stayed her for one night during a 4 week road trip. Greeted by very friendly host who showed us to our appartment. Once inside we found a well equipped, nicely decorated appartment but all that became irrelevant when we saw the view from our balcony. Overlooking the esplanade & the ocean on a gorgeous day we were left breathless wishing... More

We stayed in one of the beachfront motels for 3 nights for the Rugby World Cup and found it comfortable and convenient, just a short drive to the center of Dunedin with easy access from the main highway. The motel units truly are beachfront and the view was spectacular. We enjoyed listening to the waves and watching the surfers. Our... More

I stayed with 2 others for 2 days here for the rugby, and it was superb. The couple who run the motel were very nice and helpful. We got a sea view room and the view was spectacular. Room was spacious and very clean. Restaurant and pub around the corner, what more could you ask for. There is a great... More

Very happy with our stay here. We stayed in the old house which has no views, which didn't matter at all because the three kids were happy playing in the lounge room in the morning or having a hot spa just metres away. Most of our trip we spent exploring Dunedin or shopping in town so filling in the hour... More
