We stayed here for 1 night in January and were very satified. We had a room in the house - downstairs - rather than the traditional motel type rooms. Everything was clean, it was a large room with a small area to make drinks/breakfast, sofa and TV, free wi-fi was appreciated. This was the cheapest place we stayed in in... More

Motel easy to find the road is south of Dunedin city centre and just at the base of the otago peninsula. Room was lovely and clean, and the... More

We stay here every year over Christmas. This year we arrived much earlier than the check-in time -- a good 4 hours earlier! The hosts were gracious and gave us the only room they had available which was an upgrade - but they charged us the same rate. If you're looking for luxury, this place ain't it. But it's always...

We find the Arcadian, friendly, understanding, customer focussed, very clean and good beds. The Motel may be considered a little dated but has kept up a good appearance and modern facilities. Recommended for those who want a comfortable, quiet stay

Booked last minute when we decided to visit Dunedin. Somewhat out of downtown with basic, somewhat shabby room. It did the trick but I wouldn't want to stay longer than a night or two.

We stayed at the Arcadian for one night while visiting Dunedin. The motel is actually in 2 parts - a typical motel style part and an old house next door with 2 bed and breakfast style rooms. When we arrived we were given one of the B&B style rooms. This was a really comfortable room and was quite stylish with... More

We stayed two nights here. The hotel is a couple of km from downtown, with easy access if you have a car. We ended up with a room in the 'house' part of the motel (Room J), which was a beautiful large room with small kitchenette and really nice bay window (it only had a view of the shrubs, but... More

Absolutely great motel to stay at, great hosts who were so friendly. We were in Dunedin on bad news and so it was nice to be shown such great hospitality at such a hard time. There were 6 of us staying in a two bedroom room for 5 nights, and for us aussies who felt the cold, the room was... More

We stayed two nights at the Arcadian. Our room was large and comfortable and had a nice skylight. It's nothing fancy but it's a good value for the price. The owners were friendly and funny and their little dogs, George and Rose, are very cute. (Don't worry, they don't sleep in your room or anything.)
