"Accomodation had been double booked. Instead of cancelling the booking from their end the host messaged me on trivago, since I was expecting a message anyway for the login code, and you have to login to read messages I left it. Host also alerted trivago it was double booked, who did not contact me either. Drove all the way to Dunedin with 2 kids, stranded and nowhere to stay. Spent $400 to stay at scenic circle for the first night, Dunedin was booked out for the second night so we had to drive...

Beach lodge motel

8/10 Good

"Was all ok"

Fable Dunedin

6/10 Okay

"Had to ask for the heat to be turned on. After the room never got any warmer had to call front desk. They brought up a portable heater which did help. Turned heater off for the night and room temperature went back down by the morning. Also, it’s necessary to navigate stairs to get to room. Elevator does not open at floor level "

315 Euro Motel & Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This was the third time we have stayed at 315 Euro and having stayed in the full range of accommodation available. We have been really impressed with the cleanliness, lovely comfortable beds and friendly staff. Great location right in town, surrounded by a variety of food choices and shopping but still set back from the noise. Highly recommend 💜"

Dunedin House- Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wow what a gem ! This would have been one of our nicest stays in NZ. The old house has been beautifully restored and so tastefully fitted out. Annabel was an outstanding host, very delightful and so helpful. Breakfast was fantastic and small things like the chocolates in the room reminded us of a by gone era of hospitality. If you are going to stay anywhere in NZ make sure this hotel is on the top of list!"
