GGuest UserI stayed for two nights in Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island, and this motel was, without a doubt, the most delightful accommodation of my entire trip!
Even though the motel is 25 years old, it's impeccably clean and perfectly maintained. The walls, floors, and bedding are spotless – you wouldn't guess its age at all. Its cleanliness surpasses many newer hotels, making for a truly comfortable and reassuring stay.
What touched me most was the owner, Barry, an incredibly gentle and thoughtful gentleman! Dunedin gets quite cold, so he had already turned on the electric blanket for me in advance. Stepping into the room, it was wonderfully warm, instantly dispelling the South Island chill and my travel fatigue. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need – pots, pans, a stove, and utensils were all neatly arranged.
My travel plans were delayed, so I didn't arrive until after 10 PM. After I called ahead to inform him, Barry patiently waited for me without any hint of rush or impatience. Upon arrival, he quickly checked me in and handed me the keys. His entire demeanor was friendly and attentive, showing kindness in every detail.
The whole Barry family was incredibly welcoming, providing genuine service without being intrusive. It felt like staying at a relative's home, so relaxing. This is a veteran motel run with true heart – clean, warm, thoughtful, and convenient; it truly ticks all the boxes.
If you're traveling to Dunedin, you can't go wrong with this place; I wholeheartedly and highly recommend it! I'll definitely be recommending it to all my friends visiting Dunedin!
