I’m generally satisfied with the service and room. Only comment is that the toilet flush is too strong that the water spills all over the floor. Being on the side of the road, it can also be very noisy.

Lovely friendly & accommodating staff, cleanliness of unit and price make this motel great value in my opinion. keep in mind it's an older property , we found parking was tight as they were full. Also Dog show in Dunedin that weekend there were many dogs staying, we had no disturbance during the night. Location is in the student area on a busy one way, did not bother us

Great location for our journey with giod access to some local places to eat or takeaways. Breakfast available although we didn't have this. Room was small but had all you needed. Liked the touch of a small bottle of fresh milk rather than individual cartons
