Really the perfect motel. Room is in very good and new condition. Great bedroom and bathroom design. Very simple but thoughtful amenities. Had absolutely everything we needed. Will always stay here when visiting Dunedin. The owners obviously really care about the property and their customers. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed, period.

Love the renovated room, nice firm bed. Nice plunger coffee. Housekeeping staff are great. Reception may need improving. We arrived 1:40pm ( yes too early ) nobody at reception, when receptionist came 2pm check-in, we are ok with this. Came back 2:30pm, nobody, rang the phone & waited. 15 mins later we walked around the back & found another Receptionist, phone has no batteries. 3pm checked in. Lucky the room is nice. Happy ending.

We had a downstairs unit which meant that we could hear everything that was happening upstairs, even just them walking around upstairs was very loud. I think that some noise insulation between the floors should have been added when the property was renovated. Nice new kitchen and bathroom facilities, comfortable beds.
