Larnach Lodge

Larnachs Castle

10/10 Excellent

The views were splendid, the gardens were lovely as were all the interesting paths weaving around the grounds. The meal was outstanding, absolutely sensational, and it was lovely to share a meal with other guests - a welcome change from dining on seperate tables. Unfortunately the lady who showed us to our rooms on the afternoon of Wed 13th Sep was rather rude, which was a little disappointing. Other than that, the staff were very friendly and obliging. The gentleman who welcomed us into the...

The Chamberson

Dunedin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay at the Chamberson! The room was exactly like what you see in the pictures, it was very private and spacious. The self-check in was very easy. We paid for a car park which was definitely worth it, as there is extremely limited parking in the area. The car park is tight (which we were warned of) and there was no direct access to the hotel from the car park, which we were a bit confused about at first (we knocked on the lift and back door to the bike house accidentally! This...
