Highland House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a truly lovely place to stay. I love the heritage style and homey - yet stylish and clean - atmosphere. I've stayed here a few years ago, and I would stay here again. It's a great place to call home during my time in Dunedin. The room is a generous size and very comfortable - including a very comfortable bed, fresh beautiful linen, and a handy kitchenette. The bathroom is great, with a nice shower and tub for baths. The location is good - in-between North East Valley and the city centre, and a 20-minute walk to the University of Otago's campus. Very friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond - including helping me navigate my rental car out of the tight parking space, and offering to do up my room even when it wasn't strictly necessary. Always asking what I needed, and making me feel most welcome. :)"

The Stables Dunedin

"It was so close to where we needed to be. The hill was a bit much though LOL. We really enjoyed it. Expedia never gave us the contact number of the owner for check in. Thankfully a man walking past knew her and helpfully provided her details"

Larnach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views from our room - we slept with our curtains open and was awoken to the most stunning sunrise, we would have missed it if the curtains were closed - this was room 27 which was a Lodge room and even though it did not say on the room details that it had a toilet, it did, the bathrooms was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating - the wallpaper in the bedroom was not exactly laid well as the joints were so noticeable on certain walls and made the room look a little shabby but if it was repapered correctly then it would have been great - there was a lovely little family of Starlings (birds) which which had made a home by the window and it was lovely to watch them - the room was lovely and warm - the bed was sooooo comfy, best nights sleep and a deep sleep in a long time - the views from the room to the Peninsular and sea were stunning - lovely brand of tea, coffee, fresh milk in a fridge in the room - the breakfast was fabulous , lots of choice, freshly and individually cooked so it was lovely and hot, good quality ingrediants - good to be offered dietary alternatives and accommodating - super friendly staff - castle was amazing as usual, as we've stay/visited many times before - grounds beautiful to walk around - we Love Larch Castle and would highly recommend - can't wait until we can return...... Thank You for such a great stay...."
