"Our stay at Camp Estates at Larnach Castle was lovely. From the moment we rang at the gate to check in until the moment we drove away we were pampered and spoiled with royal service. The accommodations are beautiful and the breakfast was delicious. The view is second to none, as it looks down over the Otago Harbor. Every detail was just perfect. We look forward to returning. "

"Amross Motel was a fantastic stop for us on our drive around the South Island. Barry and Donna are so friendly and helpful, have a fantastic knowledge of the local area. The motel is super clean and has everything you could possible need for your stay. Guaranteed parking with no extra cost to your stay is a major plus. We stayed in one of the balcony spa rooms. The spa was very enjoyable after a big day of walking. 10/10 for the Amross Motel"

"Excellent stay. An upgrade (I’d asked for the possibility of a room with a bath) was much appreciated. Room and bathroom size excellent. Bed and Pillows excellent, room service excellent, and staff all excellent. Hotel atmosphere is understated luxury and location right in the CBD ideal. One of the quietest rooms in terms of internal and external noise I’ve ever stayed in. Certainly the aircon was the quietest I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Dunedin."

"This was best described by another guest in conversation as "like you are coming home". Even though the building is old it doesn't feel like it but as a serviced apartment is just 'cool'. It is immaculately clean and excellently furnished. The size of the apartment is also very good as it feels like you are moving between rooms not just in an oversized hotel room."
