The gut buster is the race to the top, under 2 minutes was the fastest run. There were charming little shops with potty & needlepoint along the way. We passed beautiful gardens, flowers and friendly neighbors that pointed out sights.

Ok west coasters, we thought Lombard Street was steep…read more...... Baldwin Street isn't crooked, but IT IS steep. It's a 19° slope or 35% grade, either way, that's steep for a residential street. It would be a killer sledding lane if it snowed there. They say it's a relatively short street at 1,150 feet long. But hike to the top and back down. It doesn't feel that short. The gradient of the street has caused residents to adapt and build their homes with unique shapes. Some have the illusion they sinking into the ground. It is a residential area, so be respectful. Don't block the street or walk in people's yards. And keep the noise down. Baldwin is about three miles from the heart of Dunedin. I chose to Uber out to it. But walked back, passing through the Dunedin Botanical Gardens and the University of Otago Central campus. Both very beautiful and worth the stroll.

We had a three night stay, the room was spacious, clean, and tidy. The staff even washed up and put…read moreaway a couple of items we had left soaking in the kitchen sink. The towels and toiletries were replenished on a daily basis, along with the selection of tea and coffee. Only a short walk to the centre of town and most of the local attractions, a great spot and friendly hosts. We shall return next time we are in town.

Barry and Donna are the nicest innkeepers we've ever met! Our room was clean and neat as a pin and…read morevery nicely appointed. I was impressed with how thick and soft the carpet was, they didn't skimp on the underlay! We enjoyed watching Netflix, the TV worked great. They additionally supplied us with US-NZ electrical adapters and a drying rack after we did laundry (did I mention they supplied laundry powder for free?) It's a very short walk to Rob Roy Dairy that has the best ice cream!!! We would love to stay here again next time we're in Dunedin.

Barry and Donna make this place special, hence 5 stars! Nicest Inn Keepers ever! Very helpful, and…read morejust so lovely. The room was good, there's a washer for guests, it's easy to walk to restaurants, not too far from the Botanical Garden. Barry offered us a bottle of milk when we got there, and there were a couple of chocolates in the fridge. Not really a "5 star" hotel, but still a great place to stay that's not too expensive, and is in a good location. The room was clean and nicely laid out. We'd go back if we were ever in Dunedin again.

This motor lodge is part of the Asure chain and I will say it on every review: I think the Asure…read morefranchise chooses their hosts based on their friendliness and ability to make you feel like you've arrived at your family's home. We called and made our reservation with Bruce and then we travelled a bit of a stormy and somewhat rainy day on our motorcycle. When we arrived we wanted to make sure we had some cover for the motorcycle to keep it as dry as could be and Bruce creatively suggested an area undercover in their courtyard. It was perfect and we appreciated his generosity. The room was beautifully appointed and the heated floors in the bathroom were luxurious! The view from our unit was delightful and we could see all the spring flowers in the garden. Wifi was great!! The cafe above the car park had delicious muffins and coffee for brekkie and the walk into town was easy for accessing the Dunedin Rail, restaurants and shopping. The Asure franchise is doing something right and their chain is The Place to Stay with hosts that will treat you special!
