“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PLACE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010

This is my third stay at the Forrester Lodge, and as always it was a pleasurable stay. I keep coming back because the entire place is perfectly clean from top to bottom. That includes hallways, the shared facilitles, the rooms...everything. The hosts are so friendly and helpful! The decor inside is warm and modern. Great sized rooms. There is no doubt that this would be my choice of accommodation whenever I have the need or desire to stay in Dunedin.

“Comfortable motel, friendly hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2009

From the outside Forrester Lodge looks very unappealing. The fence looks like it should be enclosing a used car yard, and some large flower pots would not go astray! However, once inside it is a lovely place with two very friendly hosts. The room we were in, a twin, was spacious and light with ample storage and comfortable beds. The lounge are contained some very modern lounges and a decent sized TV, with large windows all around. The Lodge is a converted maternity hospital and the conversion has been well done (in comparison with a converted old persons' home we stayed in later in Invercargill). Breakfast was not included in our tariff but that did not phase us as Dunedin is full of cafes and restaurants.

“Good Place To Stay If You Have A Large Family.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2009

While the Forrester Lodge doesn't look that appealing from the outside, it's really not that bad.

We had 6 of us stay in one of their family wings which was really good. There was heaps of room for kids to wonder about in the Richmond suite and we weren't tripping over each other as the kids had their own bedroom.

The rooms are tidy and spacious.

Breakfast was also included which was a bonus and all the kids enjoyed their stay there.

With a larger family I would definitely go back there, in fact I would be going back in a week or so but they are all booked out! Oh well guess that means we get to stay somewhere else and write another review.
