Was a great stay,owner assisted with transport . unexpected and made us feel welcome. we will be back.

We stayed here for 1 night, for $145. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The hotel is pretty close to the city centre (about a 20 minute walk, which I think is just fine) and the room was spacious, very clean and well-equipped. The decor was a little dated but the bed was huge and comfortable. I think $145 is a bit pricey for the room, but we did enjoy our stay.

True, there is no view, and it is a bit of walk (~ 8 blocks) to the Octagon, and the room is not elegantly appointed. But the beds were comfortable and the room was clean (and roomy). The bathroom and kitchen layout in this self-contained were the best we encountered in 3 weeks in New Zealand; easy to use without getting in each other's way. Despite a party with loud music going on in the Rugby Club across the street, it was quiet in the room (thanks to hush glass, I suspect). Our host was very friendly, and gave us helpful driving and parking advice. The Otago Museum, shopping/restaurants, park and university are very close; breakfast available (for extra fee).

Good functional motel that meets all requirements but I had slightly higher expectations. Close to everything but still a bit to far for walking. Rooms where nice and clean, comfy beds and a good shower. Nice, friendly and helpful staff! A safe choice that everyone will be happy with.
