Easily within walking distance of a variety of restaurants and stores. During my stay here there was on going construction at the hotel and the buildings around the hotel.

It looked new with a good king bed. The TV worked fine and had CNN so we got caught up with home news. There were a lot of restaurants near by so we didn't use the hotel restaurant. We did make coffee in the room and used the toaster. The folks at the desk were very helpful with local info. We stayed in March 2017.

I was impressed with how thick and soft the carpet was, they didn't skimp on the underlay! We enjoyed watching Netflix, the TV worked great. They additionally supplied us with US-NZ electrical adapters and a drying rack after we did laundry (did I mention they supplied laundry powder for free?) It's a very short walk to Rob Roy Dairy that has the best ice cream!!! We would love to stay here again next time we're in Dunedin.

The room was good, there's a washer for guests, it's easy to walk to restaurants, not too far from the Botanical Garden. Barry offered us a bottle of milk when we got there, and there were a couple of chocolates in the fridge. Not really a "5 star" hotel, but still a great place to stay that's not too expensive, and is in a good location. The room was clean and nicely laid out. We'd go back if we were ever in Dunedin again.

Quaint little old hotel located in central Dunedin. Spacious rooms with no air conditioning. We got…read morein on a hot day and the heater was blasting on me. The room was literally sweating up. Heater had no way of identifying if it was turned on or off. The switch wouldn't have a light on it and all dials on the heater itself were circling. Front desk is super helpful- came up to the room to help me figure out how to turn the heater off. We managed to turn it off and then window is barely open to get air in. The issue is if you close your curtains for privacy, there's no cool air or air circulation. If you keep the curtains open, you lose privacy. Breakfast had decent fresh options and is recommended. The location of the hotel is unbeatable and if they'd manage to fix the HVAC system (or install one to begin with) this would be a great little hotel!

Olivia and Alan are a charming couple who warmly welcomed us after a long day's drive. It was quite chilly in Dunedin that day, and there was a fire blazing in the oval fireplace in the parlor. We were in the Rose Room, which was lovingly restored to all its Victorian beauty: no detail was overlooked. We were thoroughly comfortable in this cozy room. Even though seemingly out-of-place, we were pleased to have free access to WiFi during our stay. A bonus in staying here is if you happen to be a guest while Alan is in residence, as he is a world class chef. We never had such excellent breakfasts at a B&B before! Though, we were told that Olivia is quite the cook, as well. We will have to return sometime soon to find out. By the end of our stay, we felt we had made new friends.

We stayed in the Blue room, which was nicely decorated with victorian style furniture. You can definitely tell that the owners have put in a lot of effort in setting up each room. There was a kettle and a nice tea set in the room which was lovely as it was a chilly day. Breakfast was good ! There were several choices of toasts/ cereals. Olivia was definitely a good cook. My plate of tomato/eggs/bacon was YUM ! My only complaint would probably be the bathroom. For the Rose & Blue room, the bathrooms are across the hallway from the rooms. I did not like having to tip toe across the hallway to use the bathroom in the middle of the night ,just so I dont wake up other guests. But to the owners' defense, this is the layout of the house, not much they can do about it without breaking the bank account! Before we left, Olivia gave me another hug :) Definitely the friendliest host amongst all the B&Bs Ive stayed for my NZ trip.

We called and made our reservation with Bruce and then we travelled a bit of a stormy and somewhat rainy day on our motorcycle. When we arrived we wanted to make sure we had some cover for the motorcycle to keep it as dry as could be and Bruce creatively suggested an area undercover in their courtyard. It was perfect and we appreciated his generosity. The room was beautifully appointed and the heated floors in the bathroom were luxurious! The view from our unit was delightful and we could see all the spring flowers in the garden. Wifi was great!! The cafe above the car park had delicious muffins and coffee for brekkie and the walk into town was easy for accessing the Dunedin Rail, restaurants and shopping. The Asure franchise is doing something right and their chain is The Place to Stay with hosts that will treat you special!
