- John (9/5): - Great location, easy to find, good paking and access. Pleaseant Owners,and well serviced rooms
- mitchell (9/5): Excellent it ment all our requirements - Located handy to the hospital and was quite
- Francisca (9/5): -
- Cooper (10/5): -
- Lynley (10/5): Highly recommend for location to university and student accommodation and a good price when comparing with most of the o - Very friendly and helpful staff, good location close to the university and city and easy access for travelling both North and South of the city. The room was very clean and warm with a heat pump. The small bedroom had a wall heater too but I found the heat pump was sufficient to keep the entire unit warm. It was great having the facilities to enable food preparation rather than having to eat out all the time. Plenty of parking too. Nothing really, the bathroom basin is a bit small though with older style shower with curtain rather than door but everything was clean and linen was changed daily if required.
- Kate (9/5): Very tidy, great value and nice friendly management -
- sarah (10/5): - Lovely motel with an heritage character guesthouse and motel studio rooms behind. We were there for medical reasons and being grad weekend Julie showed me to a different room than the one we booked which would be quieter and more comfortable, which it was. The location is fabulous too. I appreciate the customer care Julie showed and will definitely stay again. Nothing.

- Christian (9/5): - Centrally located with decent, well renovated and clean rooms. Perfect for a short stay visiting students in North Dunedin. Good value. Only thing that could have been better was the water pressure in the shower.
