Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel felt like a home away from home with its cozy rooms and friendly service. The location was convenient for exploring the city, but parking was a bit of a hassle. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were well-maintained.
This hotel felt like a garden sanctuary in the city, offering a central location to everything we needed. The rooms were tastefully decorated, providing all the necessary amenities for a short stay. The service was exceptional, with the lovely and friendly owners making our stay enjoyable. The dining experience at Oaken was convenient but could offer more variety. Overall, a great value for money option in beautiful Dunedin.
The hotel is conveniently located near town, the University, and the hospital, offering friendly and informative staff. The rooms are exceptionally clean, warm, comfy, and well-equipped for preparing meals. The service is top-notch, with staff going the extra mile during the refurbishment. The lovely internal garden adds to the charm of the location, which is good for access around the university. Guests can enjoy dining options both within the complex and nearby. Overall, a great value for money stay with minor dining limitations.
