This B & B was unfortunately referred by AA. The only redeeming factor is its walking distance to the centre of town. Tired and in need of much maintenance and a good make over - the front door would not even close properly! Breakfast was ordinary with cold coffee.

We stayed here twice recently, once for one night upon arrival in NZ and then 3 nights the next week. Glynis was a cheerful, welcoming and , friendly host with lots of good advice and help. When our pickup service failed to arrive, she made several phone calls on our behalf, and went out of her way to do all... More

We picked this up from a B&B book and it sounded just what we wanted. The old house has many of its original features and the rooms are done out with period pieces. Ideal for the central area and an easy walk to the University and the Botanic Gardens. On a main road, but quiet. TV reception in the room... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We enjoyed having you to stay with us. The internet problem has been addressed so it never happens again and the variable TV reception will be a thing of the past as we are installing a new aerial system. More

We found the Albatross in a B&B book for New Zealand. We drove up in May, no reservation required, fairly quiet. The owner quoted us a very fair price and recommended a good Vietnamese restaurant. We had the place to ourselves to it was quiet, but being an older house it might be louder if it was busier. We slept... More

As an expat Dunedin Kiwi I was returning to my place of birth and was travelling by myself and wanted a quiet central place that wasn't expensive. Since reaching 51 I wasn't up for noisy places where lots of young things hanged out in. Been there and done that. I picked this as it had a great review and I... More

It is always interesting when we get a visit from someone who has a past connection with our house. The stories of previous occupants and activities add to the already interesting history of the property. Thank you for your kind words, look forward to seeing you again if you are back in Dunedin More

The night was dark. The snow got heavier. Travelling North out of Dunedin, we were held up in a long line of traffic that went out of sight. We still had quite a climb before we got to the top of the only route in and out of Dundin, so conditions could only get worse. After 20 minutes with no... More

Thank you for your kind words, we enjoyed having you both to stay and especially our chat at breakfast. The weather had taken a turn for the worst, lucky it is not always like that. Bed & Breakfast is not an option that is familair to some travellers but it provides a lovely home like experience for the weary traveller,... More

This whole establishment needs upgrading. Lovely staircase and nice antique furniture though. Oscar the dog cute. The room we had was facing the main street and the noise at night into the wee small hours was hard to take. The bed was uncomfortable but then again my husband is a big tall man and we found the beds all over... More

An older 'character' house, but really nice atmosphere. We had a room at the back, very quiet - the front rooms may get a bit of street noise. Free wifi is a nice bonus, and the breakfasts were an excellent start to the day. Glenis was a very friendly host to have. Would definitely head back here next time in... More
