Purakaunui Apart Hotels

"Good location for walking around the town. Breakfast provided a good selection of freshly cooked items. We were charged 25NZD per day for parking. "

"Great location and quality. Breakfast was great."

"This motel was one of the best we have stayed in on our tour of New Zealand. The owner met us and showed us our room. He was incredibly helpful with all our questions about the area. From sightseeing to restaurants. The room was very big and comfortable. We preordered breakfast and they delivered it to our door. "

"Wish there was a microwave, also first place I stay that provides shampoo not conditioner. overall a good stay. "

"Well situated; clean; good-sized room; good breakfast offering"

"The Dunedin Palms is a great value. We spent three nights there during high season. The location is excellent -downtown and a short walk to the octagon (center of town) and only 2 blocks to the Speights brewery/pub. It's located about 1/3 of the way up a hill. But it's not that steep and was not a problem for us. We stayed in a 1 BR apartment and it was huge and very clean with lots of space. We appreciated the small kitchenette with a microwave, stovetop and coffee/tea. Weirdly, they did not provide milk (every other motel that we stayed at during our 35 trip provided milk) but we just bought some at a nearby grocery store. Free parking was a huge plus. Uber was easily accessible in the area and we took it to/from restaurants for dinner. Another big plus were the laundry facilities, $4/load to wash and $4/load to dry with complimentary laundry detergent. A few downsides: there was some noise, including a garbage truck emptying dumpsters nearby at 6am one day. There's no AC so the room stayed warm on days in the 60s. Keeping the windows open all day/night helped. Also, there was a large outdoor smoking area with tables and chairs near our room. We were concerned that it might be an issue - either smelling smoke in our room or from gatherings and noise - but it wasn't a problem during our stay. Overall, it was a great option for Dunedin and I would stay here again."

"Nice property recently renovated. Little challenging the self check-in but I would recommend the property. "

"This is a fabulous hotel. Our room was spacious and well appointed with an underground car park. The local restaurants are amazing and you’re on the seafront."

"We loved this fisherman's cottage so much. It is right on the water's edge and so peaceful. There are lovely walks close by and the overall area has some beautiful beaches to visit. We would love to stay here again."
