"8 bed dorm was really spacious. Loved the curtains, really made it feel cosy and cocoonlike. Comfy duvet and pillow and CLEAN. Super warm too, really felt like a home away from home. The staff, especially Martin, was really helpful. Would stay again when I’m back in Dunedin."

I had a great private room that was away from the noisy backpacker dorms, and clean and well maintained. The common spaces are fine, and the location is superb. I would definitely stay there again.
