Larnach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"You know we only planned on being there for one night, the first night was wonderful that we booked a 2nd and wish we had more time to stay there. The woman that checked us in was one of the best parts, she was so helpful I wish I could remember her name.. We did not do the 4 corse dinner but the other food we had was so good I regret not going for it. It was raining the first night and was nice and sunny the 2nd visiting in mid September I can’t say enough about our stay, and will be back as soon as we are able."

Scenic Hotel Southern Cross

8/10 Good

"Friendly Staff"

Stunning coastal views in a movie like setting

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. Super comfortable with everything you need. The spa is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Really looked forward to coming 'home' each evening to soak in the views with a glass of wine. Will definitely be back."

Fable Dunedin

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this Hotel it’s a beautiful old building but yet so modern inside very trendy with a wonderful fine Dinning Restaurant and staff are very helpful Centrally located"

Scenic Hotel Dunedin City

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious quiet room, great breakfast in the morning"

Quest Dunedin

8/10 Good

"Great"

The perfect Weekender! Funky beach house made up of a 1900's Railway Carriage.

8/10 Good

"Water pressure was a real issue. Virtually no pressure in the shower even after faulty pump was replaced. Had to use pots of water to replenish toilet cistern as it remained empty after use. A guide of sorts explaining off grid to those unfamiliar would be a good idea.Apart from the water issues the house lived up to expectations and Long Beach is a most beautiful place. Regards Michael Wise."

Beach lodge motel

8/10 Good

"Old, run down property. However, it was cheap and suited our needs. No complaints."

Craftsman built house provides stunning retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This property is beautiful, eccentric, marvellous, and perfect and yet far from perfect.The original builders of this structure built a bespoke design with a flow that goes up and down and around the 2 levels like a circuit.With the lounge fire going, the 2 upstairs bedrooms heated up perfectly.The bird song, even in mid winter is melodious and spell binding.The kitchen and bathroom were roomy and I had made successful home cooked meals every day.Pitfalls and let downs are the front stairs are slippery and the outside stair light doesn’t work.My guests slipped on the stairs, fortunately without mishap.The surrounding garden has been left to go wild and this detracts.A little landscape maintenance would go a long way and the parking area needs a fresh sprinkling of gravel as it was muddy and slippery again! And this is a gem of accomodation in a gem setting."
