“The inner courtyard garden was a great break from the busyness of the city. Laundry facilities were two doors down from our room. Very clean and everything worked well.” - Gina

“The rooms were very spacious, it’s a quirky property tucked away inconspicuously in a fairly nondescript area of Dunedin but it even has a little enclosed garden and is very quiet. All the rooms surround the garden. We had one with disabled access...” - Michael
