Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
Breakfast was the same every morning x5. Fruit varied but heated food always baked beans, yuk, scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon/sausages. No ability to put together maybe an egg benny meal, or maybe salmon for a bagel meal.

Distinction Dunedin Hotel
This was a great stay my only dissapointment was having purchasing breakfast option we were unable to purchase from the "real" breakfast menu eg porridge or omelet rather restricted to hot buffet.
