We stayed here at the end of cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail. The renovation of this small hotel is wonderful and the services, hosts, beds, breakfast and everything about the property is just fabulous. We had a short walk into the centre of Dunedin for dinner and a slightly longer walk back uphill (well, we did have dinner 'on... More

Really great location in a fabulous town. The reception was very warm and helpful. He was enthusiastic about all the options available in town and the otago peninsula. Rooms are sparse but adequate- the lighting could be better. Loved the balcony view and large lounge area. The breakfast room is charming.

There is a... More

We had a lovely stay here. Prior to catching the Middlemarch train for the beginning of the Otago Rail Trail. The host was helpful and informative. We enjoyed a glass of wine with him prior to walking into town for an evening meal. The rooms are very European . High standard but compact by New Zealand standards. This in no... More
