9/10 Wonderful! (289 reviews)
Overall our stay was okay, but certainly a little underwhelming to what we were expecting.
It was a lovely period property which you expect to find in Dunedin, but sadly not being utilised to its full potential. Unsure what the term ‘boutique’ technically represents, but if it’s upscale/premium; then this isn’t what we got.
Really great sized rooms and bathroom, but overall lacking some routine maintenance and looking/feeling pretty tired. Although the main areas were clean, edgings, skirtings and behind/under furniture had not been cleaned in some time. Heaters were supplied, but again could use an update or a little maintenance.
A great amenity was heated blankets, but only one of them was useable as there was a lack of power outputs around the bed. It appeared the solution for this was an extension cord into another extension, but I was not comfortable with this set up due to safety concerns i.e fire risk.
On site parking was really useful, and right outside our room ‘motel’ style. Kitchenette area was super convenient. Staff were generally welcoming but again, more of a motel feel.
Would be reluctant to stay again or recommend, but served its purpose as a one night stop over.
