We were happy with our choice to stay here for one night at the end of March. We found the staff friendly and helpful and the unit had everything we needed. We had originally booked a small studio, but as the booking site stated 'double bed', we checked on arrival, but no problem - all the main beds were 'queen'... More

We were in Dunedin for two nights during our honeymoon vacation and this was my husband's favorite place we stayed in. The woman at reception was very sweet. The evening before we left, her two young children (3rd one was on the way!) delivered breakfast to our door (we were leaving early the next morning) because they wanted to say... More

Stayed here with two very small dogs, comfortable bed, all the necessaries and very clean. Loved the body wash dispenser in the shower. I did not find it noisy, a bit far from the shops to walk but a dairy is across the road and a supermarket a short drive away that has everything one could need. Very few motels... More

We had a one bedroom unit so our son could sleep seperately (and away from a television) and found the room to be spacious, comfortable with a really nice roomy bathroom, our son wanted to take the shower home. The bed was very comfortable, just firm and the unit was quiet even though only 1 room back from the road.... More

We stayed two nights at the Garden Motel in June 2012. We had a 1 bedroom room. It was great for three of us. Lots of room and very clean and very nice. It had a nice new bathroom also. This was one of our favorite places to stay in our two weeks in New Zealand.

We found this motel to be clean and tidy with some good environmental processes in place. It was modern and the free bit of milk for that first cuppa and the free newspaper at the start of the week were great touches. Central without being right in town with noise everywhere. Just walk or drive down the same street and... More

This motel was clean and comfortable with good cooking facilities. It is quite eco-friendly (encouraging recycling and feeding the worm farm) which impressed me. Beds were comfortable, lighting was good. It is further from town than most motels on George Street - it's a 30 minute flat walk to Cadbury, the Otago Museum and University are closer. The big advantage... More

To stay in this motel you have to have a car or else it is way to far to walk to the city. Had a friendly as cat that came in to visit the room, really cute and adorable. The cleaning service crew was great, really cleaned everything in the room including the dishes. One thing that kind of bugged... More

My owners stayed here for one night at the end of a long and fun road trip. When they did get to the motel they were so pleased, there was so much space and everything was clean and ready for them to chillax before the long drive home back to me. They said I could have stayed too so maybe... More
