Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed with 2 kids, didn't realise from pics that the other room only had a single bed, so the 2nd kid stayed in the main area with us (in a separate single). Thats the Deluxe Family Suite. Overall it was fine, all tidy, everything worked, great base for us to explore Dunedin. Comfortable beds, plenty of heaters, walk to the Botanic Gardens and Uni. Would stay again.
