Was a great spot, nice big lounge and dining table, so if we stay for longer, we can have dinner. It was nice to include plunger coffee and milk in the fridge. Small things like that make a big difference. Beds were super comfy and nice linen, great views over the beach. You can't get any closer!

View was AWESOME. Location excellent with restaurants and cafes close by. Double glazing in bedroom kept noise of the sea to minimum in bedroom, but was evident in Lounge area (all good)

Amazing location especially with the amazing summer temps we have just experienced early spring! The roof top is a great place to watch the world go by in this charming beach suburb of Dunedin. We keep returning to the Hydro for a very good reason. 😁
