The Stables Dunedin

A bedroom with a bed, a wooden headboard, a stone wall, a window with blinds, and a sliding barn door.

Location: Dunedin City Centre
Review: The property is set up so you never interact with staff. They send you your room number and door code and it all worked well. Great location in town but there is a mighty hill to deal with up and down but then the town itself is relatively flat and the walk is much better after the first time! Good parking on site. Loved the heating mattress pad! And the bathroom floor and towel bars were heated in my more modern room! Enjoyed Dunedin as there was lots to do, some great drives, and good food., by Andrea, November 11, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

A hotel with a modern design, featuring large windows and a balcony.

Location: North Dunedin
Review: We arrived at Aurora on George just as New Zealand was getting ready to go to level four for the coronavirus pandemic. We stayed three nights until we could fly back to the US. Chris the manager was SO helpful during this stressful time. He had to limit service to protect staff, but answered all our needs and made sure we had what we needed. It was a safe haven with its beautiful gardens and comfortable rooms. We were able to fix dinners when restaurants closed so the kitchenette was vital.
