We only stayed here a night and the motel was in a lovely position. We were in one of the upstairs rooms and had a lovely view and balcony over the estuary. The room was clean and quite spacious with a really large bath/shower. The owners were very friendly and helpful. It was a fairly short drive to Penguin Place... more

I celebrated my 60th birthday at the motel and what a wonderful view to wake up to in the morning. The motel was excellent, the bed very comfortable and good meals available at the village restaurant. We did some lovely walks nearby and enjoyed the sea trip that Mary suggested as a good way of seeing albatross. We only stayed... more

Lovely little place in a lovely little place. We were very pleased that we chose to stay on the peninsula instead of in Dunedin, it is a beautiful part of the world. more

We stayed one night at the Otago Peninsula Motel and our only regret is that we could not stay longer. The hostess went out of her way to advise us on the best way to see the yellow-eyed penguins, the blue penguins and the albatross. Thanks to her advice, and the extra work she did to reorganize our tour times,... more

This hotel is located perfectly for the penguin & albatross viewing. The rooms are large and well appointed. Mary is a very welcoming host. The fish & chips across the street are fist class. Decent cooked breakfast next door. more

Fantastic view from our room, peaceful, quiet. A couple of doors away from the best fish and chips in the world and next door to a delightful cafe for breakfast, lunch and internet access. more

We booked direct with the hotel over the internet and it was very easy to do so. We chose it as we preferred to explore the peninsular over the city. For this purpose the location is great. The albatross centre and penguin place are just up the road as is Allans beach which we think was one of the best... more

We stayed here after our accomodations didn't work out elsewhere. It was a total accident that we found this place, but it was the nicest place we stayed on our 14 day trip to New Zealand. It is very close to the Larnach Castle. Great view off the balcony. Room was extremely spacious. They helped us book a room at... more
