Aurora On George

North Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

We arrived at Aurora on George just as New Zealand was getting ready to go to level four for the coronavirus pandemic. We stayed three nights until we could fly back to the US. Chris the manager was SO helpful during this stressful time. He had to limit service to protect staff, but answered all our needs and made sure we had what we needed. It was a safe haven with its beautiful gardens and comfortable rooms. We were able to fix dinners when restaurants closed so the kitchenette was vital. This...

Beechwood Boutique Accommodation

North Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

Oh my goodness this stay was fabulous! We travelled New Zealand and this has been our favorite stay! Beachwood is perfectly located to everything and the room was beautifully appointed. We had a full kitchen, a comfy bed and plenty of living space to spread out into. Our hosts, Dion and Mackey were lovely. They gave us lots of tips and checked in daily to be sure we had everything we needed. Don't hesitate! Book it! You won't be disappointed! The Mahers - USA

The Stables Dunedin

Dunedin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

The property is set up so you never interact with staff. They send you your room number and door code and it all worked well. Great location in town but there is a mighty hill to deal with up and down but then the town itself is relatively flat and the walk is much better after the first time! Good parking on site. Loved the heating mattress pad! And the bathroom floor and towel bars were heated in my more modern room! Enjoyed Dunedin as there was lots to do, some great drives, and good food.
