Top North Dunedin Hotel Reviews

Dunedin Motel and Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming, helpful and friendly staff."

Highland House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room. Nice building. Nice hosts. Parking a bit awkward for larger vehicle as small parking space but it's an old building so can understand. One night parked in the street but another night managed to get into the car park, with 1cm away from the wall. Would recommend."

Dunedin Leisure Lodge - A Distinction Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay. Staff were polite and helpful at all times. The grounds outside were well cared for. An easy place to find after coming in from the north by car, and just as easy to get out to go north again. Highly recommended. I would stay there again."

Amross Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and very well maintained, the staff came out to greet us and get us settled into our room even though it was out of hours. The thing I like most was the room was spacious with decent seating. So often rooms are cramped and have uncomfortable chairs. The bed was very comfy and most importantly the pillows were good quality and clean."
