A warm welcome from Donna, who provided us with some great recommendations for touring around Dunedin and restaurants.
Whilst an older style motel, the rooms were very clean and had all the amenities we needed.

The room was clean and comfortable, but some of the facilities felt a little dated, which did not fully meet my expectations. I generally prefer to stay in properties with more updated facilities. The location itself was quiet and convenient.
