Hotels with Jacuzzis in 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. "

"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 booked in on line quite late for one night, and as the owner and her other guests were at the rugby we were given instructions on how to access and help ourselves to a cuppa and TV. The owner made us very welcome, gave us a lovely comfy bed and breakfast to set us on our way. We had lots of chats with her and two younger American guests. Very nice experience."
