Family hotels & resorts in North Dunedin

"everywhere i usually stay in dunedin was booked out and was therefore "forced" into seeking accommodation with a higher price tag than i usually do. given this, i then expected more than what i usually receive, and i was not at all disappointed. in fact, i would very definitely return again, despite a higher than normal (for me) tariff. speaking of tariff, however, do check very carefully what you are being actually charged against what the motel is offering. i found the agency through which i booked (on line), had misquoted the actual tariff by 50%, so i spent a great deal more than was expected. despite the expense, the motel is absolute value for money, particularly if you get an upstairs spa studio. when i first arrived, the roadside sign announced it as an “econo lodge”. having stayed in many of these while travelling in the united states, the room (which is actually a series of rooms) was very well furnished with a leather lounge suite (all recliners), very stylish table and chairs, mobile television set and queen size bed (amongst other items). adding to the unique atmosphere was a loft bedroom (a first (and wonderful) experience for me). the unit also had a balcony, as well as a separate bathroom and toilet. the bathroom (which is separated from the toilet has an enormous spa bath, from which you can soak and watch television at the same time. now that (for me anyway) is luxury. the guest information booklet is also very informative. there is a 24 hour general supplies shop right across the road, but dunedin’s main shopping centre is a mere 10 minutes’ walk away, where retail outlets and restaurants abound. it may take a great deal longer, therefore, than ten minutes to reach the city centre given the many diversions you are likely to make.

"Excellent location. Well conserved and maintained building both in and outside. We booked in a superior twin for a family of 4. Spacious room with 2 queen's beds were enough to stay in feeling easy. Bathroom was clean. WiFi was strong. Breakfast was very good. I really love the elevator of Worldwar age that was still in good service. I really much appreciate this hotel and will definitely come back again if I have a chance to come to Dunedin again."

"The location is great where it is really close to the city centre and it just few minutes walk to the train station, shopping centre and supermarkets. The services and things provided in the apartment is fully equipped. I'll recommend anyone that want to spend a night in Dunedin must stay at this apartment. "

"We spent one night at Aria on Bank Motel. It was a small but comfortable place with stylish design. The room was well equipped with a kitchen and a bathroom. Everything looked very new and sparkling clean. The only thing I can complaint is that the mattress was too soft and thin, which is not very good for my back. Otherwise it was a perfect experience here. The lady at the front desk was nice and welcoming. She gave us all the details about Dunedin including dining, parking and location to visit. That was extremely helpful to us. I would highly recommend to stay at this motel."

"Stayed in unit 10 upper floor. Motel is very clean, new and comfort. Very spicious unit. Very well equipped kitchen with a dish washer. Walking distance to City Centre which can avoid the parking issue in city centre."

"Hotel itself is fine with plenty of parking and good facilities. The godawful bagpipe music played every evening (once for over an hour) right beside the rooms is totally unacceptable."

"Very accomodating staff - facilities very clean and we were even upgraded to an apartment, which was nice. My one recommendation would be that if you are a light sleeper, make sure that you get rooms that do not face the road - a few loud uni students late at night walking past (but part and parcel of being in Dunedin!)"

"The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The bathroom was large however the shower was a bit strange as you had to step up into a corner (difficult to describe in words), this created an issue that you needed two bath mats for the shower, one for the step and one on the floor other wise you are at risk of slipping over. This was rectified as there were plenty of towels provided so as to be able to use one as an extra bath mat. The only detraction was the guest laundry which only had 1 washing machine and one dryer. This made it difficult to get washing done when you are on an extended stay. Overall I would definitely stay there again and recommend it for anyone that needs to be on the North of Dunedin "

"We stayed in one of the cabins, which was next to a stream. The site was compact but didn't feel overcrowded. We were surprised there was no shop there (we were given milk on arrival) but were provided with a map showing nearby supermarkets and restaurants. Dunedin was a 5-10 minute drive away. We especially enjoyed Otago Peninsular and the weekly farmers' market (Saturday mornings next to the railway station)."

"Located in north of Dunedin in walking distance to the city. Staff is friendly and helpful in explaining where we can go in Dunedin. The motel is well equipped."
